About this audiobook
Hill is on top form in this sixth story in the Dalziel and Pascoe series
When Mary Dinwoodie is found choked in a ditch following a night out with her boyfriend, a mysterious caller phones the local paper with a quotation from Hamlet. The career of the Yorkshire Choker is underway.
If Superintendent Dalziel is unimpressed by the literary phone calls, he is downright angry when Sergeant Wield calls in a clairvoyant.
Linguists, psychiatrists, mediums – it’s all a load of nonsense as far as he is concerned, designed to make a fool of him.
And meanwhile the Choker strikes again – and again…

Reviews for A Killing Kindness
114 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the only one I have read out of the whole series. I thought the characterization of the main police officers was well done, but there were so many characters, and I even kept getting the murdered women muddled up in my mind. The plot only really worked because the murderer spent pages explaining how and why he had done what he had done.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Usual convoluted plot and literary referenecs but Dalziel's dialogue always a pleasure to read!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Usual fun interaction between Pascoe and the Fat Man. Wield has trouble in personal life. Gypsies play an interesting role.
