Exit Lines | Reginald Hill

pick

An early Dalziel and Pascoe that was pretty good. The three storylines kept things moving well, and there were some thoughtful moments and conversations around aging. Not entirely sure I buy the resolution of one of the storylines, but whatever.

CarolynM I love this series. I'm still sad Reginald Hill died before he'd finished what he had to say about the security services. 3y

Andrew65 @CarolynM Yes very sad 😢 3y

#20series20days. The Dalziel and Pascoe series

I love these police procedural mysteries with a side of politics. Reginald Hill used these books to discuss issues that interested him. I think some of the books would feel a little dated now, we've moved on from some of these things, but I'm still sorry he died before he finished what had to say about government responses to the resurgence of terrorism. There are 25 books in all - these are a taste.

Ruthiella Cool! This series is totally new to me! 😀 4y

TrishB Think I may have read the first a long time ago! 4y

CarolynM @TrishB They got a lot more and interesting as they went along. My favourite is tagged set against the background of the miners strikes and associated protests in the 80's

TrishB I was looking on kindle to see if they did them as a bundle (these prompts will kill my bank balance) but only available singular! I shall keep my eye out! 4y

Andrew65 This is one series I have been enjoying over the past year, loved the tv series. Think I‘ve finished the first 7. 4y

Dialogues of the Dead | Reginald Hill

pick

A string of random murders.
"Dialogues" from a Wordman claiming responsibility.
Dalziel & Pascoe at their witty best.

A plot themed entirely on clever and delicious wordplay. Although long, Hill weaves a deviously twisted storyline that never slows down till the end making it worthwhile. Smoke and mirrors aplenty, with every chaos melting into one meaningful climax. Most underappreciated classic from a class A wordsmith.

Started my new audiobook, which is number 8 in the Dalziel and Pascoe Series. This series will take me to West Yorkshire for the #SeparatedByAPondTour

EadieB, TheAromaofBooks

EadieB @Andrew65 Need to read this series as I have most of the books! I swapped about 30 books this week so if I can do that every week it will be good start to downsize my books. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB It is quite a good series. There was a very good tv series of it many years ago. Dalziel is a cantankerous ‘fat man‘ and Pascoe a University Graduate. A real clash of cultures up north. Read all 8 so far since October. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IcnL9zCmbk4&list=PLdDiWbS9nICalFJjnC-0GVTsdO4XuAhe... 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 I think I‘ve seen a couple of shows. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB It as a to watch show when it was on. Colin Buchanan who starred as Pascoe is the narrator for the audiobooks. 5y

TheAromaofBooks Thanks for the tag! I've heard of these but haven't read any of them yet. Side note: What is the difference between City of London and Greater London? 5y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks The City of London is the historic centre of London and the financial / business district. It is known locally as the city and the square mile, as it only covers 1.12 square miles. This article gives more information on the wards covered as well as a map.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London 5y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks Greater London is the rest of London, most books will be set in Greater London. If it covers The Bank of England, St Paul‘s Cathedral, the Tower, Temple (figures in code type books), Barbican, the Old Bailey and London Bridge it will be the City of London.
5y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks Feel free to ask me at any time whether a certain location is in the City of London or Greater London as I was born and brought up in Greater London, however my dad and sister both worked in the City of London. Not lived in London since 1986 though. (edited) 5y

TheAromaofBooks Thank you so much for clarifying! That totally makes sense. I think that most of the London bits from How to Stop Time would be in Greater London, then. 5y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks The city of London is such a small precise area it will be tricky to find some books that meet this requirement. I will do some research. I think some of the Da Vinci Code takes place in the City of London. (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks These books come up in a search for books in the Tower of London, which should fit the City of London criteria. https://www.mappit.net/bookmap/places/1514/tower-of-london-london-england-gb/ (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks St. Paul‘s Cathedral https://www.mappit.net/bookmap/places/28/st-pauls-cathedral-london-england-gb/ 5y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks London Bridge : https://www.mappit.net/bookmap/places/1123/london-bridge-london-england-gb/ 5y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks This tales place in the city of London and I loved it when I read it. https://www.mappit.net/bookmap/books/45500/ratcatcher/ Historical Mystery

Ratcatcher

(edited) 5y

TheAromaofBooks Thank you so much for the references!! Ratcatcher sounds fun - and a totally different type of Regency book from the romances I usually enjoy 😁 5y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks I read Ratcatcher a few years ago and remember really enjoying it, as did my wife. I really need to get back to that series, only read the first one. It is only a short series - 6 books I believe. 5y

Good Morning | Reginald Hill

Starting off the winter solstice and my daughter‘s 5th birthday with some gingerbread pancakes, coffee, and the pelican brief. Happy Solstice! ❄️ 🥞 ☕️

Karisa From one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes: On every world, wherever people are, in the deepest part of the winter, at the exact mid-point, everybody stops and turns and hugs. As if to say, “Well done. Well done, everyone! We‘re halfway out of the dark.” 5y

valeriegeary Oh yuuuummm! Hope it's a happy birthday! 5y

Blaire @Cathythoughts this was my first time making them. They have molasses, brown sugar, cinnamon, and fresh ginger and lemon in them. Like cookies for breakfast. 😍 5y
