While investigating reports of an armed person in a deserted part of town, Pascoe and Dalziel are caught in a big explosion - so big that the Fat Man is left comatose and in grave peril. Pascoe recovers quickly, though, and he is determined to discover who would dare do such a thing to Dalziel…. This very brief description of the plot of Reginald Hill’s "Death Comes for the Fat Man" just scratches the surface of the story; as this long-running series goes on, the reader notices more and more complexities both in terms of the individuals involved and the number of interconnecting threads and story lines. I believe this is the 22nd book out of a total of 24, so I’m reaching the last stages of this really terrific series; it’s definitely necessary to read all of the books in order, but if you’ve made it this far you already know that! Recommended. I'm quite fond of all the Dalziel/Pascoe mysteries by Reginald Hill, and one of the things I like best is that Hill seems to come up with a different format, conceit, or structure for each book. I suppose it's a way of keeping boredom at bay when one has a very successful series that readers want to keep on reading. Here, Dalziel, after a bombing, lingers between life and death and Pascoe must investigate the bombing on his own (with a little help from Ellie). One of my Best Books of 2007. no reviews | add a review
