    About this ebook

    ‘The story is expertly told, skein by skein, with a new knot to be untied just when you think everything is clear’ Sunday Telegraph

    1963. It was the year of the Profumo Scandal, the Great Train Robbery, the Kennedy Assassination – and the Mickeldore Hall Murder.

    The guests at the Hall that weekend included a Tory minister, a CIA officer, a British diplomat – and Cissy Kohler, a young American nanny who had come to England for love. And love kept her in England for nearly thirty years. In jail. For murder.

    Revisiting the case many years later, Detective Superintendent Andy Dalziel finds his certainty over Cissy’s guilt is shaken – a rare state of affairs. And it looks as if not only is his old boss’s reputation at stake, but his own too…

      With most crime series there is inevitably the book that looks back at an old case and Recalled To Life is the history case in the Dalziel & Pascoe series. I'm familiar with the series but this is the first I've read. It was OK and that was about it.The writing was confusing and all over the place, making it difficult to follow the story. One had to go back and read parts to understand what was happening. In the end there were many unanswered questions. So much so as to make it not an enjoyable read. The writer's love of big and obscure words was very distracting and just didn't fit some of the characters. They might have been words used by the author, but I could just not accept some characters using them.A side note: this book was an ebook, but I did not buy Recalled To Life, I bought Report For Murder Val McDermid. Even though the cover and ISBN were for Report For Murder (Lindsay Gordon, #1) the actual content of the book was Recalled To Life. So I only read this by accident, it was not my intent.

      Dalziel in America... Not as weird as I expected.
    • 3/5
      Although I must say that this is your typical English cozy mystery, I mean that in the very best sense – it’s fun to read, moves along in a brisk fashion, and presents an intriguing puzzle (and of course, it all begins at an English manor in the country). I thoroughly enjoyed this light offering feature Detectives Dalziel and Pascoe and will probably seek out more in the series.
    • 3/5
      A fast moving story featuring the detective team of Dalziel and Pascoe. the very involved plot takes place on the fringes of the Keeler-Profumo scandal of the sixties. The plotting sometimes stretches credibility but it is a good romp of a read
    • 3/5
      Still continuing. Not tried of the series yet thanks to continuing original plots
    • 5/5
      Reg Hill at his supreme best.I am sure that, were one to go through this complex plot with a fine tooth comb, one could find flaws but, as a thoroughly enjoyable read, this tale of police, UK and US 'funny buggers' and the British Aristocracy, takes some beating.They say that tragedy and comedy are two faces of the same beast and that is seldom better illustrated than in a work such as this where, one minute one finds oneself sympathizing with the unfortunate Cissy Kholer, and the next laughing at 'Crocodile Daziel's' outrageous antics.Naturally, with such a cocktail of law agencies nobody gets to know the truth - except, of course, the reader and a strangely reflective Andy Daziel.
