Reginald Hill, Good Morning, Midnight

What a relief. After the ponderous Dialogues of the Dead, and the literally unreadable Death's Jest-Book - and I'm one who appreciated Arms and the Women, even as the successor to the masterpiece On Beulah Height - I find Hill is back in form with Good Morning, Midnight.

Pascoe is called to the scene of what appears to be a suicide...it's just that the man's father committed suicide ten years earlier, in the same place, in the same manner, with the same items left behind. Pascoe, Wield and Novello are thrown into a tricky investigation where there are many people, including one rather close to home, with things to hide.
