Hill, Reginald: An April Shroud (03.05.09)

I don't recall having read any Hill novels before though I may have done. This one dates from 1975 so is an early entry in the Dalziel and Pascoe saga. Concentrating almost exclusively on Dalziel during a reluctantly taken holiday, it is both well written with believable characterisation and an interesting plot but also with a lot of humour to the extent that it is almost a comic novel rather than a crime one
