Publisher Description
"The fertility of Hill's imagination, the range of his power, the sheer quality of his literary style never ceases to delight." —Val McDermid, author of Fever of the Bone
In a stand-alone psychological thriller from acclaimed mystery master Reginald Hill, a mysterious ex-con returns to his remote childhood home on a deadly hunt for revenge. Combining the chilling atmospheres of Thomas Harris’s The Silence of the Lambs, the narrative ingenuity of P.D. James’s The Private Patient, and the compelling characterizations of Hill’s own Dalziel and Pascoe series, Hill delivers a frightful, fast-paced study of suspense at its most sinister in The Woodcutter.
Customer Reviews
Brilliant, entertaining, intelligent, superb use of the English language.
A book I will remember with fondness for a very long time. No hesitation in recommending it to readers who actually enjoy the reading of a story as much as the story line.
Great book
Read straight through over two days....could not put it down!
The Woodcutter
Agree fully. This was first nonfiction book I read since college--what a stunner! I'll bet that there are other great books from the late Mr. Hill.
