Story
"And see if there's any news about the missing girl." Life, as Smith used to say, is just one thing after another - as one investigation ends, a new one begins. But for reasons unknown to the rest of her team, DCI Cara Freeman will be haunted by the next case for the Kings Lake Central murder squad. They find themselves delving into the seamy side of life in the town, and one of their number will have departed before this new investigation is over. Perhaps Detective Sergeant Chris Waters should have seen it coming, but he has a lot more than work on his mind these days.

Story
Slough House is a dumping ground for British intelligence agents who've screwed up cases in any number of ways - by leaving a secret file on a train or blowing a surveillance. River Cartwright, one such "slow horse", is bitter about his failure and about his tedious assignment transcribing cell phone conversations. When a young man is abducted and his kidnappers threaten to broadcast his beheading live on the Internet, River sees an opportunity to redeem himself.

The story opens with the apparently accidental drowning of a sixth form student in the Norfolk countryside. As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

The year is 1327. Franciscans in a wealthy Italian abbey are suspected of heresy, and Brother William of Baskerville arrives to investigate. But his delicate mission is suddenly overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths that take place in seven days and nights of apocalyptic terror.

Publisher's Summary
It starts with a phone call to Superintendent Dalziel from an old friend asking for help. But where it ends is a very different story.
Gina Wolfe has come to Mid-Yorkshire in search of her missing husband, believed dead. Her fiance, Commander Mick Purdy of the Met, thinks Dalziel should be able to take care of the job.
What none of them realize is how events set in motion decades ago will come to a violent head on this otherwise ordinary summer's day.

Another remarkable visit with Andy Dalziel
Hill is simply amazing. Each novel in this series is an adventure in shifting perspective and innovative technique yet the characters remain as comfortable as a well-loved pair of Nike trainers. I hope Mr. Hill lives - and writes - forever!

Meh......rather cliched
This is my first Dalziel and Pascoe story, and I think it stands on its own and I didn't feel I needed to have read the others beforehand. And I'm glad I didn't, I guess, because they seem rather cliched. The characters and the story aren't bad, but not terribly novel or interesting either......the best thing about the book was the creation of the overlapping time frames to illustrate how everything happened in a single day.
Probably good for fans of these characters, but I thought it was just OK......I certainly didn't like it as much as I enjoyed The Woodcutter.

"The day before Monday."
Great fun. Dalziel gets involved in the search for a man, missing, believed dead, for almost seven years. Written in carefully annotated time strips, the Fat Man in a more introspective form than usual. Narration is by Jonathan Keeble with individual voicing for all of the characters: a fine performance.
The books in Reginald Hill's Dalziel and Pascoe series are always a pleasure to read, and always different, too. Midnight Fugue, number 24, is no exception. Recommended

Another top tier effort in the Dalziel and Pascoe
Another top tier effort in the Dalziel and Pascoe series. I'm revisiting this series via audible books and had some difficulty with one of the earlier narrators, however Jonathan Keeble's reading made the book very enjoyable. He made it easy to differentiate between characters and did so without his voice getting so hi or low that I had to adjust the volume. After a serious concussion from an explosion, Dalziel returns to work struggling to bring himself up to speed. By chance he finds himself at the centre of a puzzle that develops into a murder investigation with one of his officers seriously assaulted. Despite Pascoe's efforts to assume control and limit Dalziel's activities by regularly waving the rule book Andy manages to solve the crime while also getting himself back up to speed with the job. I'm also enjoying Reginald Hill's other books outside this series.

Too urban
I do not like gangster mysteries. I guess I like my mysteries driven by other things besides urban gangsters, because, like the stupid vampire mysteries , it is too easy to throw in any resolution to problem and not develop characters.
I do not like any of the characters in this book.

I never fancied the television series and so I would probably never had read this had I not read The Woodcutter by the same author . Now I'm hooked. I found it difficult to stop listening to, loved the characters and the storyline and thought it had a very satisfactory ending. Perfect in fact from start to finish.

An excellent book with the same narrator as The Woodcutter. Fast paced and well written. You do not have to have any prior knowledge of Dalziel to enjoy it. I would definitely recommend it.

Briliant, entertaining book.
This was the first Dalziel and Pascoe I have listened to and it didn't disappoint. I had just finished listening to The Woodcutter read by Jonathan Keeble and I picked this book because it was the same narrator. The story keeps you interested from the beginning and you feel like you know the characters really well. The plot and ending are brilliant and I listened to the last chapter several times. I now want to listen to more Dalziel and Pascoe.

Super tale, but...
A cracking tale and great characterisations by Jonathan Keeble throughout - he is a master of tone and character. There's just one thing I'd ask - for I've listened to a number of these novels via Audible now and have enjoyed them greatly: please don't let Wieldy's voice channel the spirit of Alan Bennett! Mr Keeble has beautifully created each character in this super tale and his vocal work really complements the story - but please can we have the laconic, brusque and delightfully gruff Wieldy back? This was the only jarring note in an otherwise accomplished, delightfully convoluted tajayy

Where does Midnight Fugue rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I purchased this audiobook off the back of The Woodcutter as I'd enjoyed it so much. I was not disappointed, the narrator was fabulous (again!) and so was the story. I hadn't ready or listened to any of the previous Dalziel and Pascoe books but it was easy enough to pick up.

Narrator's portrayal of Dalziel was superb!
I thought the storyline was good - a little unsurprising, but the characters were excellently depicted by the author and given breath by the narrator.
Good twist at the end!
Recommended. Ps I haven't heard any of the other Dalziel & Pascoe stories before - this can stand alone very well.
