Deadheads

DEADHEADS is one of the many books in the justifiably popular Dalziel and Pascoe series. In this case, the pair are investigating a series of fatalities that may be murders or an extremely happy set of coincidences for the prime suspect. Colin Buchanan has starred as Peter Pascoe in three of the BBC Dalziel and Pascoe episodes, so his Peter Pascoe is perfect. His Dalziel also sounds just right--as rudely intemperate as a reader of the series would expect. In fact, all of the characters are entirely believable and distinctly individual, from blue-collar Yorkshire to educated lady. A terrific performance. R.E.K. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
