Reginald Hill

The residents of the small mining community of Burrthorpe were rocked to their foundations when a spate of killings took one of their children. The murder was believed to be the work of a child-killer who subsequently committed suicide. Now a murder in Burrthorpe mine galvanizes Andy Dalziel into action.

Really solid Dalziel & Pascoe book, with a really interesting context given the era - miners in Yorkshire in just after/during the unrest. I found the mystery to be intriguing, and Ellie's role was interesting, if a bit frustrating at times. Her bond with Peter doesn't seem to be as strong as I'd like to imagine, but that might reflect my own expectations rather than the intention of the author for the characters. 

Overall, 10 books into the series, I'm really glad I decided to pick these up. I loved watching the series back in the day when I watched crime shows with my parents. And I remember I read one Dalziel and Pascoe book (Beulah Heights?) when I was about 18, and if left quite an impression. Looking forward to seeing how these characters grow and develop over the next few books,
