Book Review of A Clubbable Woman (Dalziel and Pascoe, Bk 1)

A Clubbable Woman (Dalziel and Pascoe, Bk 1)
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


One of the earliest Hills featuring Dalziel and Pascoe. Dalziel is as wonderfully vulgar as ever, and you keep looking for little signs that he "doesn't really mean it." As always, the setting is a detailed and wonderful sociological study of some corner of British life, in this case sports and life in a development. The victim is thoroughly awful, making you feel guilty about the title of the book, which invites you to agree that clubbing was what she needed.
