if you write this sort of novel, your readers will expect a process of discovery leading to a form of resolution, a structure which gives the intellectual pleasure characteristic of this branch of the genre. They won't find it here. The identity of the murderer is allowed to drift into the story three-quarters of the way through. Neither the reader nor police have much to do with it. The killer's motivation is so perfunctorily sketched that it fails to convince. The ending is arbitrary, unsatisfying and suspiciously convenient. A good crime novel follows its own logic. For all its undoubted virtues, this one sometimes loses the scent. Hill is good at establishing the arcane web of connections in this investigation that result in wrong turnings and false leads. ... Fans of Morse and Midsomer will recognise this mix of rural calm and brutal carnage, choral music and pathology reports, and as the trilogy progresses may even learn to find in the steely gaze of Simon Serrailler some of the attraction that his sergeant finds so irresistible. frustrating and disappointing that Hill should have chosen such a traditional type of crime novel (serial killer, police procedural) to extend her range. This is the crime of small, fictional worlds, rattling tea-cups, genteel suspicions, cherished hatreds, of mists on the lamp-lit heath, grand moral gestures and lightly treading footsteps - always more Midsomer than Moss Side; more Watson or Marsh, say, than Peace or McDermid.
