Good Morning, Midnight

Dalziel and Pascoe Series, Book 21

By: Reginald Hill

Narrated by: Shaun Dooley

Like father like son....But heredity seems to have gone a gene too far when Pal Maciver's suicide in a locked room exactly mirrors that of his father 10 years earlier. In each case, accusing fingers point towards Pal's stepmother, the beautiful, enigmatic Kay Kafka. But she turns out to have a formidable champion: Mid-Yorkshire's own super-heavyweight, Detective Superintendent Andrew Dalziel.© Reginald Hill; (P) W F Howes Ltd

Critic reviews

"Literate without being pedantic, humorous without undercutting suspense, Hill's book will keep you reading far beyond the midnight hour." (Sunday Express)
"The writing is brilliant, witty, and erudite...as enjoyable as anything Reginald Hill has ever produced." (Evening Standard)

Pleasant Surprise and a Really Good Book!!!!!

Wonderfully written, narrated and a very good book. A must read/listen!!!!! I've been recommending this book to a lot of my friends.

bit tedious beginning - but well worth hanging in

I found the beginning quite tedious and had to start again at the beginning - but then it was well worth it. Narrator is absolutely amazing and the reason why I stuck it out (also I read the death of daziel before - which i loved). Not the most likely story but the dialogue and character development is fantastic - especially for a 'crime novel'.

5 Star Intelligent Writing and Excellent Narration

Reginald Hill is a masterful writer, approaching the mystery novel as a complete intellectual and character development pursuit. It was pure delight to experience this novel as an exercise for both the mind and the ear. It’s a pity Reginald Hill has passed and will be unable to extend the Dalziel and Pascoe series into numbers forty and beyond.
Highly recommended for both readers and listeners.

late comer loves reginald hill

This well known writer is new to me, but I am totally delighted with the first of his books that I read. If you like literary illusions, wry humor, and a deft psychological novel, you will love this book. I'm now reading Death's Jest Book and so far, it's just as good as Good Morning, Midnight.

Wonderful

Loved it, Its funny and surprising.
couldnt stop reading, and the book is full of smart. idioms.
