A review by mandyla
Exit Lines by Reginald Hill

3.0

Although there wasn't much I objected to in this one (aside from the rather flimsy female characters, but that's pretty standard so far, something I hope will be rectified as the series progresses towards current day), I felt the plot didn't grab me. It almost felt as though I was waiting for the climax, even at the end.

I did like the way things came together for Dalziel, though I thought if it turned out he had done something bad it would make for some interesting conflict...

I also liked seeing more of my favourite stony faced officer, Sgt. Wield... but he didn't seem to have as much agency this time.

Altogether, it was not my favourite D&P book so far, but it won't stop me reading the next.
