Six weeks, six books.

I'd better keep this up! I've finished Death Comes for the Fat Man, and the book that follows, The Price of Butcher's Meat. I'll start the last book (most recent, anyway) in the D and P series: Midnight Fugue. I hope Hill plans on writing more.

Butcher's Meat is a continuation of Death- Dalziel is recovering from the bombing that nearly killed him at a seaside "health resort". A wealthy woman with ties to the resort is murdered, and many colorful suspects emerge. This novel brings back Franny Roote, a suspect from An Advancement of Learning. And he might have something to do with the current case...it's fun to watch Andy piece things together.

4 down, 46 to go.

I finished A Ruling Passion and An April Shroud, numbers 3 and 4 in the Dalziel and Pascoe series. I'm really loving these books! Fat Andy is such an awesome character. I just started a more recent novel (I'm reading them out of order now): Death Comes for the Fat Man, AKA The Death of Dalziel. This one is off to a good start...how can someone not like a book with chapter titles such as "Dead Men Don't Fart"? Even in a coma and near death, Andy is his un-P.C. self. Can't wait to finish this one!
