Val McDermid's six best books

Crime novelist Val McDermid's latest book is Out of Bounds.

One of her six best books, as shared at the Daily Express:
ON BEULAH HEIGHT by Reginald Hill

Pretty much a perfect crime novel, this features Dalziel and Pascoe. Hill was a cunning storyteller with a wry humour and this is his most emotional book. He was literate and humane. I always have to look something up when I read his books.
