 CULTURE BEAT | "Millions cut down" January 17, 2009

Best-Selling Books

Four noteworthy novels reviewed by Susan Olasky

The Price of Butcher's Meat | Reginald Hill

This latest entry in the long-running Dalziel and Pascoe series combines the police procedural genre with an update of Jane Austen's Sanditon. In this version Sanditon becomes Sandytown, a planned village that advertises itself as "Home of the Healthy Holiday." Three main voices tell the story: the breathless, gossipy, sex-on-the-brain emails of psychology student Charley Heywood to her sister; Dalziel's rambling, bawdy recordings (peppered with biblical allusions) of his observations as he convalesces at Sandytown's Avalon Clinic; and a third-person narrative that recounts the police investigation into several murders that occur under Dalziel's nose.
