    About this ebook

    ‘Hill is an instinctive and complete novelist who is blessed with a spontaneous storytelling gift’ Frances Fyfield, Mail on Sunday

    Fifteen years ago they moved everyone out of Dendale. They needed a new reservoir and an old community seemed a cheap price to pay. But four inhabitants of the valley could not be moved, for nobody knew where they were: three little girls who had gone missing, and the prime suspect in their disappearance, Benny Lightfoot.

    This was Andy Dalziel’s worst case and now he looks set to relive it. Another child goes missing in the next valley, and old fears arise as someone sprays the deadly message on Danby bridge: BENNY’S BACK!

    • 5/5
      This is my favorite Daziel & Pascoe novel.
    • 4/5
      Got me with the ending. Thought I had it figured but was wrong.
    • 4/5
      I haven't read all his books -- I'm working on it. But this is a favorite.
    • 5/5
      Phew! This was a bit sober for the maestro. Yes, I did laugh out loud a few times, but equally, this book has moments to make a jester suicidal. The subject of child abduction and murder was never going to be light, but I was fascinated that his characters swear more in this book than in the rest put together. I wonder if this was skilful writing: our heroes showing their frustration and depression, or a sign of the author's feelings. Rosie's illness was a useful tool allowing Pascoe to empathize with the parents and Mr Hill's genius was that he managed to keep the whole opus on the right side of outright maudlin.This is a cracking book and one that I would recommend anyone to read, but only at a time that life is being kind to you.
    • 5/5
      My favorite of the Dalziel and Pascoe mysteries.
    • 4/5
      One of the Dalziel and Pascoe series, with a theme of serial child killing in a village forced to relocate after its valley was drowned by a new water reservoir. A strong psychological theme runs through it with a dark side.
    • 5/5
      One of the more disturbing books in the Dalziel and Pascoe series, in part because of the theme of serial child killing, but also because it shows that there are no easy answers. It's a complex and thought-provoking story, and one that easily supports re-reading. There is the mystery, yes, but there is also the psychological study of a village traumatised both by a series of unsolved child murders and by its forced relocation after its valley was drowned by a new water reservoir. It's also beautifully written by a master of prose. Hill brings his characters to full and vivid life, and they will linger with you for days.Ideally the series should be read in order, and I think regular readers already familiar with the characters will get more out of this book, but it can be read as a standalone. For those familiar with the series, Hill continues to develop the story of his ongoing characters, deftly weaving it into the main plot of the book. Note that there are references to events in the previous book (The Wood Beyond) which are slight spoilers for that book.
    • 5/5
      This shows Hill at his very best. I don't think he can possible beat this tale of the wilds of Dendale.
