Although these were billed as brief chronicles, the first story, “Pascoe’s Ghost”, was not brief in the least; it was closer to a novella. That made me impatient with the collection’s pacing. Then I lost patience with the narration, because the stories were mostly male-centred, and the descriptions of female characters focused too much on their looks and how clothes accentuated their figures. I ended up skim-reading the middle stories and skipping to the Dalziel story at the end of the collection, “Dalziel’s Ghost”. I suppose the one story about the guy renovating his newly bought house and finding a surprise in it was OK, but apart from that I didn’t much like this collection. Oh well, more room on the shelves.

Mystery stories by the Diamond Dagger-winning author, "one of the masters of the modern police procedural" (The Sunday Telegraph). A man whose wife has been missing for a year gets some strange phone calls--as well as a visit from Detective Inspector Pascoe--in a novella that pays homage to Edgar Allan Poe. A female journalist faces skepticism from the police when she reports an assault, and finds she may have to confront the attacker herself. A family man wonders what sort of trouble the previous occupants of his new house were mixed up in--and finds some clues that were left behind in the move. These stories--and four more--from the author of the series starring Inspector Peter Pascoe and Superintendent Andrew Dalziel take us on a tour of the shadowy corners of Yorkshire, England, from a stormy churchyard to a gloomy attic, with tales of lust, greed, envy, and, of course, murder. "One of Britain's most consistently excellent crime novelists." --The Times (London) "Hill is never predictable." --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Reginald Hill is quite simply one of the best at work today." --The Boston Globe No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
