When Ellie Pascoe finds herself under threat, the men in her life assume it’s because she’s married to a cop. But while they trawl after shoals of red herrings, Ellie is blasted off course with a motley crew of women on a voyage of discovery whose perils make Scylla and Charybdis look like a pair of Barbie dolls. Irish arms, Colombian drugs, and men who will stop at nothing create a tidal wave which threatens to sweep her away.

Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Although the two novels may be listened to in any order, World Without End also takes place in Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building their exquisite Gothic cathedral. The cathedral is again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge.

Publisher's Summary
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. A child goes missing in the next valley, and old fears arise as someone sprays the deadly message on the wall of Danby: BENNY'S BACK!
Music and myth mingle as the Mid-Yorkshire team delve into their pasts and into their own reserves of experience and endurance in search of answers which threaten to bring more pain than they resolve.

Great book—narration a little overwrought
Another engaging book by RH, several storylines that are skillfully united by a single theme. The narrator becomes increasingly dramatic as the story nears it’s denouement—but in a way that approaches parody rather than exemplifies the emotion in the story.

I must be an alien from another planet
Am I listening to the same book as other reviewers? This is my seventh book in the D&P series and I'm going to dnf and return it after only a couple hours. The first six were read by Colin Buchanan and I enjoyed them a lot. I don't quite know what Jonathan Keeble is aiming for in his narration, but he sounds at times like he's reading poetry, or a bedtime story for children, or some kind of old-fashioned melodrama. I mean, Dalziel just sounds pontifical here, and it ain't pretty, especially after the rude, crude guy I've enjoyed from Buchanan. And two hours without a speck of humor, sheesh. This one is not for me.

"Wickedness is a strong swimmer."
I first read this Dalziel and Pascoe book years ago as a paperback but decided to renew my aquaintances with it in audio, remembering it as the best Reginald Hill book that I had read. And I was not disappointed. From the dark descriptions of both countryside and drowned village, of the pain of loss, parental grief and the fat man's curious hold over his associates, and a plot to hold the reader close, trying to anticipate and interpret the outcome, to the superb narration of Jonathan Keeble, pace perfect with fine dramatic but gentle interpretation and individual character voicings, this is still as absorbing as it was first time around

Most enjoyable book to listen to.
Reginald Hill was a great writer but Jonathon Keeble made this book even better with his narration. He can do a 'reet Yorkshire' accent brilliantly. Despite the difficult subject matter I smiled a lot throughout this book at Daziel's quips and observations and Keeble's delivery of them. Very good book, good story line, brilliant narrator.

What a brilliant read
Where does On Beulah Height rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Its in the top ten for sure, I was captured from the first chapter
What does Jonathan Keeble bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Jonathan Keeble is one of the top three narrators in the audible selections. He can portray all the characters as I believe the author would want
Any additional comments?
This was my first D&P book and will not be my last. I was originally put off because of the TV show, but the writing style plu the narration by Jonathan Keeble were superb.

Too many literary references
I thought I'd enjoyed Dalziel and Pascoe in the past but surely I was confusing book & TV detective series.
This story, good enough, is soaked in literary references and odd asides of local lore both of which really detract from the story.

A great novel, spoiled by the sjw dogma
A great novel, spoiled by the authors far-left sexism and misandry just below the surface. Hill believes it is his role to diminish white men and speak out for women and gays. Hill believes that women and minorities are nothing without him.
An inconvenient fact : Statistically, women are responsible for MOST killings of children and assaults on children.
