 Asking for the Moon - Reginald Hill   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Reginald Hill brings them to life on paper, and Graham Roberts brings them to life on tape in a recording so completely satisfactory that it's hard to imagine anyone else doing it any other way.
Now, Hill's loyal readers are presented with four novellas that, in turn, introduce the pair, let each take a rare solo detecting flight and, perhaps weirdest of all, enter a space-age future for an almost absurd swansong for the mismatched twosome.
As always, Hill enjoys tampering with the traditions of the genre and these four works serve less as working narratives than as welcome changes of pace that incorporate character studies, intimate and unguarded moments and flights of pure fancy.

 Amazon.com: Death's Jest-Book: Books: Reginald Hill   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Reginald Hill's "Death's Jest-Book" is a British police procedural with a literary flair.
Hill's large cast of characters include Peter Pascoe, a Yorkshire policeman with a suspicious nature, Andy Dalziel, his obnoxious but canny superior, and Franny Roote, an ex-con who may or may not be on the road to rehabilitation.
Hill takes his time examining the inner thoughts of each character, making it clear that underneath the superficial veneer that most people present to the world are a host of hidden fears, dark secrets, needs, and passions.

 Amazon.co.uk: The Wood Beyond (Dalziel & Pascoe Novel S.): Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
This is an ambitious work; Hill clearly intends to transcend the police procedural genre, and includes a parallel story set in the ghastly killing fields of Passchendaele in the Great War that dovetails with the present-day police investigation that is the nominal subject of the book.
Hill as a writer is otherwise at the top of his game.
This was very interesting and I enjoyed the way that Hill juxtaposes the images of the war torn trenches and the modern day wasteland where the body is found.

Reginald Hill’s books are always full of word games, but they have rarely been so important as they are here.
‘Reginald Hill is writing very much at the top of his form: easily, unconstrainedly, and with absolutely no striving after effect: nevertheless, brilliant effects are constantly produced, and it’s a rare page that doesn’t produce a laugh or at least a snigger.
Reginald Hill says he always regarded himself as a writer of some sort, but until he wrote A Clubbable Woman which introduced Andy Dalziel and a young Peter Pascoe, he had managed to avoid putting his theory to the test.

 Reginald Hill's Dalziel & Pascoe Series by Martin Edwards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Hill had not originally intended to bring the pair back for a second outing, but he found the combination too appealing to resist and they returned in An Advancement Of Learning (1971), set against a college background familiar to the author, who taught for many years before beginning to write full time.
It seemed to Hill's many admirers that exposure on the small screen would add to his legion of fans and given that Yorkshire Television was responsible for the production, the project seemed to be in good hands.
In the event, the British comedians Hale and Pace were sadly miscast as Dalziel and Pascoe and the script failed to convey to viewers the quality of the novel on which it was based.

Hill's special skill is in conveying the experiences and thoughts of various characters, either by point-of-view narration, or excerpts from letters, diaries, etc.(as in John Lennon's "In His Own Write").
Hill has that very entertaining technique of moving the focus of attention around to different protagonists in his well-constructed world of repeating characters who grow and interact back through the whole series, assuming you read Hill as a series writer, not just for one-off blockbusters.
Hill's books are getting longer and longer (aren't most mystery writers doing that these days?), but they are not padded out.

Hill's name has long been a guarantee of the best in crime writing, and his Dalziel and Pascoe novels have a devoted following.
Of course, some readers are going to impose the faces of familiar TV actors on Hill's two fractious coppers, but that's not at all necessary.
Hill can really do this sort of thing in his sleep, so practised is he at turning out beautifully wrought thrillers.

Sehr angenehm ist der mitunter böse Humor, den Hill in die Dialoge packt, alles in allem glaubwürdig (wenn auch nicht in allen Fällen so richtig übers Klischee hinausgeschossen) sind die in ihrer Zahl nicht gerade knapp geratenen Figuren, die - es ist ein umfangreiches Buch - in den einen oder anderen Nebenplot verwickelt werden.

 Poor Emma by Reginald Hill
Reginald Hill, in Poor Emma, takes the customary liberties with character that other sequel writers have taken, but his motive is uniquely clear: he is doing it for fun.
Hill's Emma at forty-one is more ruthlessly bent on getting her own way than ever.
This Emma is a fairly successful creation, if Hill's point is that the shattering self-discoveries of twenty-one year-old Emma had made no lasting change in her behavior or thinking.

 Powell's Books - Good Morning, Midnight by Reginald Hill
If you haven't read Reginald Hill yet you are in for a real treat.
Hailed by the New York Times as the master of form and sorcerer of style, Reginald Hill is undoubtedly at the top of his form in this gripping story of a mysterious death that echoes one in the past.
The descriptions of Dalziel are particularly fine: 'like a shark dumped in a swimming pool, Dalziel provided a new and unignorable focus of attention.' Hill has provided readers with a superior example of the mystery form — one with a deliciously cold sting in the final pages.

 Ex Libris Archives: Reginald Hill
Shortly after I discovered British mystery writer Peter Lovesey and gushed about how good he is, somebody pointed me at Reginald Hill.
Hill's books are police procedurals set in Yorkshire, England; although the series as a whole is usually called the Dalziel/Pascoe series, the books generally involve a team of three detectives, with a fourth added in the more recent books.
On top of an outstanding cast of continuing characters, Hill has a wicked tendency to lead the reader seriously astray, and great skill at weaving seemingly dozens of plot threads together into a seamless whole.
