Dalziel and Pascoe

I enjoy reading detective novels.
Lately from the library I have been borrowed a
couple of Dalziel and Pascoe
novels, by Reginald Hill. I
think, like many detective novelists
in particular, that his best stuff was
earlier in his career. He gets a little
high-brow later on. In particular
I find Pascoe's wife a bit much.
A rather angry, feminist type.
I have nothing against feminists,
but she really does take it to extremes.

Perhaps the personal stuff is overdone,
at least for me. I prefer the personalities
of the two main characters. The television
series got me into these novels. It really
was very good. Well cast for the main actors
in particular.
and just really good
