Reginald Hill

Kriminalroman. Superintendent Dalziel får sagen, da den gamle biografejer bliver myrdet

A Dalziel and Pascoe Novel

A Pinch of Snuff

Everyone knew about the kind of films they showed at the Calliope Club - once the Residents' Association and the local Women's Group had given them some free publicity. But when Peter Pascoe's dentist suggests that one film in particular is more than just good clean dirty fun, the inspector begins to make a few discreet inquiries. Before they bear fruit, though, the dentist has been accused of having sex with an underage patient, the cinema has been wrecked and its elderly owner murdered. Superintendent Dalziel expects no more from professional men who watch blue films. But Pascoe has a hunch that this time Dalziel is way off target...

It is difficult to rate these books because on the one hand, I love the plot and characterisation. But on the otherhand, they do bear the marks of the era in which they were written - as in, casual sexism is rife. 

It isn't enough to put me off yet though, so that probably indicates that it is worth my while to keep reading. And Ellie Pascoe is great. I can imagine the same book(s) being written now would frame her as an excellent feminine force.

A routine visit to the dentist involves Police Inspector Pascoe in a bizarre case concerning the making of pornographic films in which people are actually killed on camera
