Summary
Caught in the blast of a huge Semtex explosion, the only things preventing Superintendent Andy Dalziel from stepping through Death's door might be his own size and indomitable willpower. As he lies on a hospital bed, it falls on DCI Peter Pascoe to seek justice for Andy. The security services have written it off as an accident: the terrorist suspects have paid for their clumsiness with their lives. Who, then, are the Knights Templar, a shadowy group exacting summary public justice on their enemies? Pascoe is certain of a conspiracy and the attempted murder of Yorkshire Police's most inept officer only convinces him further.

Good book, poor narration
The reader mispronounces many words - 'demur' is NOT the same as 'demure' - and misreads the sense of several phrases. Was this a first read-through, and not the final production?

The Death of Dalziel
This is a really gripping book, made even more so by the unsurpassable narration of Shaun Dooley. He is a master of different accents, and there are indeed many in this book. I thoroughly recommend this good "read" but, once started, remember to listen to it every day in order not to forget the intricacies of the plot!

The Death Of Dalziel by Reginald Hill
one of the best Dalziel & Pascoe novels so far! A formidable example of Hill's gritty, witty, style made all that much better by Sean Dooley's reading. He must surely be one of the best reders around!

Goodness me!
I really found this novel tedious and overly convoluted! I am not familiar with this series and bought this because of all the 'excited' 5 star reviews!
I wasn't a fan of the main characters! Why do modern day authors always make their main police officers belligerent and adverse to authority?
Also, the writing was rather clunky, and there were many odd versions of adjectives and adverbs that I felt had just been created by the author. I will steer clear of any further books in this series!

The end of Dalziel?
This is such an enjoyable addition to the Dalziel and Pascoe series. Obviously there is not too much of Fat Andy, but Pete manages well with help from the usual crew.

Poor Dalziel
A very good book by most standards but diminished by Dalziel being less present. Pascoe is not as engaging a character. That said Reginald Hill is the man and the narration was very good. Pleasant company all in all.

"A drunken giraffe."
An explosion puts both Andy Dalziel and Peter Pascoe into hospital but the Fat Man is still in a coma when Peter leaves and resumes work. On life support in intensive care, it seems unlikely that Andy will regain consciousness.
Another excellent book from Reginald Hiil, narrated by the TV series' Pascoe, Colin Buchanan. Great characterisation, clever plot : a good detective thriller. Recommended

Not quite good enough
Disappointing; the reader’s accents and voices are fine, but his sometimes odd placement of emphasis in some phrases is very irritating, it’s as if he doesn’t have a good feel for the language, or perhaps that’s the fault of the editor of this production. Also several mispronounced foreign phrases.
There are better audio versions of this series
