Why read it?
1 author picked On Beulah Height as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a title from Reginald Hill’s long-running and beloved Dalziel and Pascoe detective series. It was the first one I read—and still my favourite, which I re-read every so often.
The story is set in the North Yorkshire Moors, which are brought vividly to life not only by the descriptions of the deep valleys—the famous dales—that are unique to the area, but also by Hill’s vivid depiction of the Yorkshire people. He lived and worked in the area himself, and he really captures the dialect, manners, and attitudes of the locals, often with lots of dry wit and humour.

From H.Y.'s list on thrillers where the setting is as dangerous as it is beautiful.
