All authors have got to start somewhere -he'd already published his first Dalziel and Pascoe book by this time, and they were to turn up regularly from then on, some very successful, some downright peculiar. ![]() Some of Hill's humour appears in the book, but it's nothing as witty or funny as his later writing. Nevertheless, once the book gets going, it's certainly a page-turner. The plotting is good, but the book takes some time to get off the ground, and the characterisation is inconsistent at times.
