An April Shroud (1975)--> (The fourth book in the Dalziel and Pascoe series) --> After seeing Inspector Pascoe off on his honeymoon with a few ill-chosen words Superintendent Andy Dalziel soon runs into trouble and water on his own solitary holiday. Rescued by a bunch of somewhat cheerful mourners he accompanies them back to their rundown mansion to dry off. The owner of Lake House Bonnie Fielding seems less troubled by her husband's tragic death than by the problem of saving the family fortunes. Prompted not only by a professional curiosity but also by a more personal interest in Mrs Fielding's ample charms Dalziel stays on. By the time Pascoe reappears there have been several more deaths and it looks as if the normally hard-headed Dalziel might have compromised himself beyond redemption...A Clubbable Woman (1970) --> (The first book in the Dalziel and Pascoe series) --> Home from the Rugby club after taking a nasty knock in a match Connon finds his wife even more uncommunicative than usual. After passing out on his bed for five hours he comes downstairs to discover communication has been cut off forever - by a hole in the middle of her forehead. Down at the club passions run high on and off the field. This is a home game for Detective Superintendent Andrew Dalziel who knows all the players male and female. But Sergeant Peter Pascoe whose loyalties lie with another code has a few ideas of his own.
