Book received from NetGalley.

I have been devouring this series. The book can be read as a standalone, the author does really well at keeping new readers up with the occasional backstory needed in the book. This time Constable Nick is trying to help a small farmer find who stole his pay. The story takes place in North Yorkshire in the 1960's, parts of it really remind me of James Herriot's books. The author worked as an officer in a small village in the area and you can tell with how he writes. Some parts seem to be more memoir than fiction. I really recommend these books.

This book of fictional memoirs was fun to read. No heavy handed murder mysteries here, but a cute collection of oddities that I think most people who love this series will enjoy. Some of my favourite characters were included in this book and it was interesting to read short pieces about how they became who they are in other books.

This kept me busy for an afternoon and made me laugh more than once. Not the most serious of subject matter, but fun and lighthearted. A good summer read when you want something uplifting. I particularly liked the story about the steam tractor and the one about the constantly fighting husband and wife. Some of these are almost a little fable-esque.

Brings back such good memories of Heartbeat. Love this series of boks

Another great episode in the Constable Nick series. Well written and I love the colorful and quirky characters.

How much crime can Aidensfield really have? Much more than you would believe possible, not the dark & dangerous crimes often portrayed in crime novels.
Constable Nick Rhea is kept on his toes chasing down the phantom milk bottle thief.
Not exactly a crime of the century but it is causing uproar among the locals.Catching this perpetrator will certainly be a victory for him, and the milkman who was originally blamed for not delivering the milk.
There’s a few more bizarre crimes that could only happen in a sleepy rural area.
Burglars caught red-handed, or rather, covered in ketchup. Farm animals escaping to cause mayhem. Dealing with Tabitha whose inability to remember the day lands her in trouble.
Then the more challenging problems of marital disagreements regarding burial plots, and a retired farmers wish to keep his sheepdog.
Another nostalgic & often hilarious group of tales that is an easy but so enjoyable read. Ideal for a few hours escapism to a gentler time. The characters are described in detail & you feel that you are really getting to know them. I’m really enjoying reading the ‘Constable’ books & highly recommend them
