I love this series of books. While they are British police procedurals they have a definite cozy feel to them. The series takes place in the 1960's in the Yorkshire Dales, a place I came to love while reading James Herriot's books. What I enjoy the most about the series is that they don't focus on a murder mystery. While there are some murders in the books, you are just as likely to read about a robbery, a missing person, or kids who are annoying the local villagers. These are a definite recommend for me.

A sometimes humorous look at the life of a police constable in a small English village. The cases are told in an entertaining way and are far removed from modern crime.
A enjoyable read from start to finish.

Love the whole of this series of books but wished I read it in order. Reminds me of Heartbeat

Life with Constable Nick is always fascinating even though a bit simplistic. The village struck me as being quite typical of English Village however a bit more crime ridden than most. It is however a lighthearted and fun book to read one wishes every community had a Constable Nick

Another easy reading yet compulsive read in the Constable series. I thoroughly enjoy these books & find them hard to put down. This one is no different & is great if you’ve a few hours to while away being entertained with the goings on in North Yorkshire
There’s mysterious cash popping up from nowhere, a Girl Guide tumbling down a waterfall, a group of men taking the law into their own hands, life in the village always promises to be eventful.
Constable Nick is faced with a wronged lady wreaking vengeance upon her unfaithful husband, a distinguished conman brings art to the community and a convicted murderer returns home to their quiet village. All run of the mill events in the village & surrounding area of Aidensfield but it’s when Nick and Sergeant Blaketon hear that an escaped Great Train Robber is hiding on their patch that they realise they have a major problem.
