Recalled to Life is a 1992 crime novel by Reginald Hill, and part of the Dalziel and Pascoe series, set in Yorkshire. The novel tells the story of Dalziel's re-investigation of the 1963 murder at a local manor, Mickledore Hall, and the crime is billed as the last of the golden age murders. The murder took place shortly before the story of the Profumo affair broke, and during a weekend get together at the Hall.

" Recalled to Life" was a real surprise. It started somewhat differently, by giving a hint of what the climax of the story was going to be. Then it continued in what eventually became a totally different style of plot to what I have been accustomed to reading. I normally have problems in putting the novel on one side for while, but I gradually became totally engrossed in the unfolding plot that I was unable to stop reading. And the final ending was a total and complete surprise. I was totally misdirected by the unusual beginning. A brilliant read, absolutely right at the top of crime stories. Well done, Mr Hill.

In this murder mystery originally set in 1963, the detectives figure out what really happened amidst a web of lies and international intrigue. The book is well-written, although the plot is complex and sometimes confusing. The reader does not learn what really happened in 1963 until the very end of the book, which might be realistic, but is not very satisfying. I enjoyed this novel and recommend it to lovers of the genre. Although written in the early 1990s, it did not seem dated, and there are no editing errors.

"Recalled to Life" is one of the best and most challenging books of the Dalziel and Pascoe series and ultimately, one of the most enjoyable for the reader. The story revolves around the release from prison of a nanny involved in a 1960s sex/murder case involving A-list personalities in a manor house setting. The newly freed (and exonerated) woman creates a serious disturbance in the social and political equilibria which eventually leads to the entrance of the indomitable duo of Dalziel and Pascoe onto the scene.

The story that follows is one of author Reginald Hill's most creative labyrinths yet. Another great strength of this Dalziel and Pascoe novel is its ongoing humor, which goes into high gear when Dalziel follows the crime trail to America and collides with American English and Southern cooking.

Reginald Hill has no peer in mystery writing and his novels' characters are almost always flawlessly drawn and presented. He rarely insults or disappoints his readers, and with "Recalled to Life," he has only reinforced his reputation as one of the finest living authors of any genre practicing his trade today.

You may want to jot down the names and relationships of the major characters of this well-done book, because they keep popping up throughout the novel and you have to keep asking "Now, who is this, again??" But that's the only sour note (and not a very sour one at that) in this clever and enjoyable book. Dalziel and Pascoe complement each other as they try to solve the mystery of an old death that may have been a suicide or may have been a murder. The two detectives verbally duel with often-hilarious witticisms and mild put-downs --testament to Hill's amazing facility with the English language. This is a fine English mystery and the first from the pen of Hill that I've read. It won't be the last.

I'm rereading Reginald Hill and devouring Robert Goddard (whom I hadn't encountered before). I love these books. Hill's have a more romantic, 1950s flavor, but their detectives are timeless and extremely funny. Goddard's are more British-ly understated, with more lone not-meant-to-be-detective heroes swept into an investigation. Both are completely entertaining, and Amazon's service, as usual, was great. ~ Anne, DC

Probably the most educated of all authers in this genre. His wit and literary references is sprinkled throughout the plot, and dialogue. characterizations are personable and comical and psychologically adept.

just good reading

The previous episode in the detecting and crime-solving adventures of Superintendent Andy Dalziel and DCI Peter Pascoe of Mid-Yorkshire CID was a little shaky, in my opinion, but Hill redeems himself with this thirteenth book in the series. It may be the best yet; it’s certainly the most psychologically complex.

Back in 1963, before the Kennedy assassination took everyone’s attention, the big news in the UK was a series of scandals involving the government and the diplomatic corps involving ministers, members of parliament, spies, and prostitutes. It was also the year of the Mickledore Hall Murder, in which the young Detective Constable Dalziel was a participant, under the guidance of his mentor, Superintendent Tallantire. A woman was shot to death in the estate’s locked gunroom during a hunting weekend, “Mick” Mickledore himself was hanged for it, and a young American nanny, Cissy Kohler, went to prison as an accomplice for nearly forty years. Now, thanks to new revelations in a TV program, Cissy (who never bothered, for various reasons, to defend herself) has been released pending a review of the investigation.

Since Tallantire is long dead and unable to defend himself, the Home Office is likely to dump the blame conveniently on him, but Dalziel, who is nothing if not loyal to those he cares about, isn’t going to allow that to happen. And though he’s been warned to stay away, that’s never stopped him before. Of course, Pascoe, through loyalty to his own boss, gets roped into assisting. (He’s at loose ends anyway, due to personal domestic tensions.) And it appears that a cover-up was in place from the beginning, several of the guests at the hall having been intelligence types from both MI-5 and the CIA, with their families and kids.

You’ll have to pay close attention because Hill doesn’t tell you everything explicitly. You’ll have to sort out the truth -- which comes in several varieties and on several layers -- at the same rate Dalziel and Pascoe do. Oh, and Fat Andy’s venture to New York City and then Williamsburg, Virginia, is a hoot and a half.
