A Killing Kindness by Reginald Hill
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Hill is building upon his effort to make more and more convoluted stories. Though, well written, this mystery could have trimmed 50 pages and been a tighter and stronger mystery. The fun is Dalziel.
The heavy handed politics in his books increases here. That would be fine if Hill included objectivity, but it’s more a matter of pounding views and any other side is not to be considered.
He does treat his stories differently from his politics. There is a tremendous amount happening with scores of people involved and way too much background of all. Hill shuffles all of this over and over again. Much like a shell game. This helps in making very difficult figuring out the ending.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 6 out of ten points.
