Phil Leader (619 KP) rated Pictures of Perfection (Dalziel & Pascoe #14) in Books
Nov 25, 2019 (Updated Nov 25, 2019)
We have the usual Dalziel blunt language and Pascoe's schooled intuition but it is here that Wield finally gets a chance to step forward and form the 'holy trinity' of Mid Yorkshire CID. Hill has cultured his characters very carefully and writes them with great affection and this story shows how much chemistry they have.
The plot in this novel is outstanding and perfectly shows off Hill's willingness to play with the police procedural genre and the reader's expectations. There are some terrific rug pulls here and Hill could almost be said to get away with murder when everything falls into place at the end.
A brilliant tour de force for one of the greatest crime fiction writers. I can't fault it. It is in itself a picture of perfection

Every season has continued to surprise me and season 3 stepped up massively. Without spoiling - season one and two had the team mostly on the 'number of the week' formula but the stakes get even higher by 3 as other players enter the field. It only climbs from there.
Very layered, very emotional, very much worth your time.
