Constable Across the Moors | Nicholas Rhea

1 post | 1 read

Police Constable Nicholas Rhea continues his enthralling account of rural bobbying on the North Yorkshire Moors and finds himself dealing with a host of intriguing characters who live and work on these spectacular heights. Amongst the hilarious anecdotes are the cases of witchcraft used by Katherine Hardwick to rid herself of a troublesome suitor and the insurance man who covers a dog against its persistent theft and unscrupulous love-making. Contrasting with the humour and joy of rustic life there is sadness and Nicholas Rhea tells the poignant tale of the man who came to bury his wife on her beloved moors. The book is packed with stories of a country flavour and it provides a colourful picture of police work in a large rural district. There is humour and pathos and above all a love of human beings and concern for their welfare. Nicholas Rhea Nicholas Rhea is the pen-name of Peter N. Walker, formerly an inspector with the North Yorkshire Police, and the creator of the Constable series of books from which the Yorkshire TV series has been derived.

Constable Across the Moors | Nicholas Rhea

pick

Firmly Not-My-Usual, but actually worth a try.

These are gentle stories of life as a 1960s rural policeman in a Yorkshire village. They‘re the series that Heartbeat was based on, but I found them a little more charming, and they probably contain a little less action than the TV series.

Very much Of Their Time (1980s) so you‘ll have to put up with ‘oh those funny women drivers‘ & the likes. But generally good-humoured with excellent narration.

Larkken Sounds really cute! I‘ll look for it. 1y

rockpools @Larkken There‘s a huge series of these if you find you like them. Very gentle humour, mostly. 1y
