review of dds william regenold spring hill

He knows everyone who’s anyone around his patch, and is well tuned in to all the gossip and secrets of his fellow townspeople.

Dalziel is brash, crude and often uncouth, although he’s perfectly capable of presenting different faces when he wishes. So Peter goes along to see for himself, starting a chain of events that will uncover some dark secrets around the town and lead to murder.īy the time of this fifth Dalziel and Pascoe book, both of the main characters have become much more fully developed, although they will continue to evolve throughout the long-running series. He tells Peter that in one scene of a film, in which the naked heroine is being beaten up her equally naked captor, he is convinced that the beating is real and that the woman has been seriously hurt, if not worse. But Jack Shorter, one of the club members, is worried, and since he happens to be Inspector Peter Pascoe’s dentist, he takes the opportunity to pass on his concerns. However, everything is perfectly legal and the only disruption the club is causing is to the respectable sensibilities of its neighbours. There have been complaints from the local residents about the Calliope Club, a private cinema that shows pornographic films, so the local police in the person of Sergeant Wield are already keeping an eye on it.
