Andy Dalziel was preoccupied with the illegal book that one of his Sergeants was running on who was to be appointed as the new Chief Constable...and how to make sure his own bet paid off. But when a battered Ford Escort containing one very dead Italian turned up in the police car park, Peter Pascoe and his bloated superior were plunged into an investigation that made internal police politics look like child's play.

They moved everyone that long hot summer fifteen years ago. They needed a new reservoir and an old community seemed a cheap price to pay. They even dug up the dead and moved them too. But four inhabitants of the valley they couldn't move, for nobody knew where they were. Three little girls had gone missing, and the prime suspect in their disappearance, Benny Lightfoot. This was Andy Dalziel's worst case and now fifteen years on he looks set to relive it. It's another long hot summer.

Caught in the blast of a huge Semtex explosion, the only things preventing Superintendent Andy Dalziel from stepping through Death's door might be his own size and indomitable willpower. As he lies on a hospital bed, it falls on DCI Peter Pascoe to seek justice for Andy. The security services have written it off as an accident: the terrorist suspects have paid for their clumsiness with their lives. Who, then, are the Knights Templar, a shadowy group exacting summary public justice on their enemies?

Superintendent Dalziel had a somewhat cynical view of what college administrations spent his taxes on. But when he and that over-educated Sergeant of his, Pascoe, were sent to investigate a disinterred corpse at Holm Coultram College, he hadn't reckoned on a rash of fresh killings. While Pascoe rekindled an old flame on the staff, protesting students identified Dalziel as a 'fascist pig'. The Superintendent smiled with satisfaction...if that's how they wanted to play it.

poor quality audio
excellent writing as always.
sound quality is abysmal, muffled with occasional speed changes as well. Adjustment of treble (increase) and bass (decrease) and listening for a few hours has made it tolerable.

Sorry to say
I normally love the Dalziel and Pascoe books and have many read by Colin Buchanan and Shane Dooley. I am sorry to say that this the reader of this one, I find virtually impossible to listen to, the sound is so muffled. It's a great story, the usual complex of delights but I will be seeking out another version.

Terrible sound quality
I have to agree with the other reviews, I can't listen to this book. The sound quality is poor and Brian Glover, altho a great actor, reads it very badly. Please get Colin Buchanan to redo it!

poorest sound quality
Very poor sound quality, very muffled and barely distinct. (I've downloaded over a hundred audible.com books & have never had this complaint.) Too hard to listen to...too bad, because a Hill novel never disappoints.

Performance a disappointment
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Performance made it very difficult to follow storyline. The transitions from person to person, time and locations, etc. were so unclear that I had to keep backing up in order to make sense of the story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Bones and Silence?
Reciting lines from the "play"
Would you be willing to try another one of Brian Glover’s performances?
Sure, maybe it is just this book. I have others that he narrated and enjoyed.
Do you think Bones and Silence needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Always ready for another from Reginald Hill.

Surely could be better!
Story was confusing. Narration poor....almost impossible to tell when another character is speaking or when a scene changes. The only character well portrayed is Dalziel.
I loved the Dalziel and Pasco series on TV, but this was impossible and not up to Reginald Hill's talents.
I will see about returning it.

Even better the second time!
What about Brian Glover’s performance did you like?
It's hard to believe that there is only one narrator. The voices of the characters seem to reveal such different personalities.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Hill weaves several plots together with such skill that they never seem to intrude upon each other--instead, they resonate. This is particularly true of the last scene when all the pieces seem to fall into place so suddenly and so shockingly and you see the main characters even more clearly.

Awful sound levels
What did you like best about Bones and Silence? What did you like least?
The decibel range of the performance is outrageous, from whispers to outright shouting, made it impossible to enjoy. Add to it the exaggerated (York?) accents made it mostly incomprehensible. First time I've given up on the performer.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Need to hear it clearly to judge.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Brian Glover?
Anybody. Never had to complain before.
Do you think Bones and Silence needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Need to hear it clearly to judge.

Much better than TV
I first came across D&P as a TV series. It was certainly enjoyable with excellent acting.
But the book is better. Reginald Hill loves language and the text is never boring. He manages something that many writers find problematic; he maintains the dramatic tension up to the very last sentence.

Oh dear, what an awful narration
Brian Glover is an excellent actor in a certain type of role, could even tackle Dalziel. What he cannot do is read aloud in an appealing manner, it reminds me of the way a child is so concentrating on getting the words out that they are in batches without reference to context. My own fault really I knew what he was like but assumed Buchanan was narrator when ordered it! There are many excellent narrators, what was the reasoning for picking someone who can't do it.

Awful narration
I can't remember the last time I gave up on an audio book, especially from an author I enjoyed when read by Jonathan Keeble, who is brilliant. I found it hard to follow as the voices of each character sounded much the same and the narration also. An avid book listener, I found I had stopped, so have just downloaded another book read by Mr Keeble.
