I'm a fan of Reginald Hill's books about the team of Daziel and Pascoe but I guess after many successful books, Hill wanted to try something different and wrote this in a way I found annoying, with flashbacks to a much earlier era, to establish a family history. Hill is a fine writer but this was too long and labored. Go to the other books in the series.
