Midnight Fugue

Praise for 'Midnight Fugue':

'Back on his old form. Witty, wise and welcome' Literary Review

'[Reginald Hill] shows no sign of descending from the high quality of his writing . . . Beautifully plotted and intriguingly resolved' Marcel Berlins, The Times

'Fresh and memorable . . . It's a witty, wise and warm read, with rich characterisation and emotional depth' Val McDermid, The Times

'A sort of genteel, very funny and extremely well-written version of 24' Telegraph

'A masterly performance . . . will deservedly be one of this summer's big bestsellers' Mark Sanderson, Evening Standard

'Hill's ingenuity continues to dazzle' John O'Connell, Guardian

'Midnight Fugue has a clever plot, written without whimsy, and one of the best things in it is Dalziel's sense of his advancing age and its impact on his relationship with Pascoe' The Sunday Times

'As ever it is steeped in a dry, wry wit and accents almost as thick as good gravy on roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. . . it is a measure of Hill's masterful grasp that time flies imperceptibly. . . Hill makes it all look so deceptively simple that it masks a writer on top of his trade' Sunday Express

'Hill's plot is elegantly constructed, and his prose is delectable. . . Witty, slightly surreal and fundamentally humane, the novel is a welcome addition to one of the best crime series around' Andrew Taylor, Specator
