Struggling to find a writer I can enjoy and read one of his en-route to Malaga (597).
Quite enjoyed this; I can’t quite make Hill out as a writer; unlike 597, this was a more conventional Reginald Hill, with touches of mediaeval pageantry interspersed with a modern Yorkshire detective novel (although there is an American commercial connection here, as in 597).
The plotting was quite deft, but the ending involving the (if I understood it correctly) suicide of the glamorous Chung was (to me at least) completely implausible, and sprang from nowhere out of the plot.
I would like to read the one (which I think precedes this) about Ellie’s involvement with a striking miner. (Soul Mining?)
