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.

An excellent narrator for this series
The Dalziel & Pascoe stories are always excellent, but sadly some cannot be listened to due to dreadful narration. Shaun Dooley gave a near flawless performance

Excellent Crime Novel
Brilliantly written, excellent narration that really brings the novel to life and, for me, certainly captures the essence of the protagonists. A fabulously good drama

"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

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 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.

Great story - page turner for the ears
Enjoyed the story and Pascoe taking leading role. I only dropped it a star because of the accents which were inconsistent, unnecessary and at times bizarre.

Excellent performance
Narrator (Shaun Dooley) was brilliant - brought all the characters and the story to life.
Most enjoyable book - definitely a favourite of ours - good depth with twists and turns and the addition of Reginald Hill humour
