My contribution:"Hall's contemporary, well paced and spirited novels all reflect the landscape and society of inner-city 'Bradfield': "Dead on Arrival" (1999) charts changing attitudes towards race and gender and the social realities of ethnic mix and immigration (Bradford is an important centre for British Muslims), while prostitution and drugs lie at the heart of "Perils of the Night" (1997).
from "Scene of the Crime...A guide to the Landscapes of British Detective Fiction" by Julian Earwaker and Kathleen Becker.

"As formulaic as a Haydn symphony, the children's bickering had moved into an adagio but Brunetti, in expectation of the allegro tempestoso that was sure to come, closed the door and sat on the sofa against the wall."
