Description
With at least 3,000 possible offences, many of a very minor nature, it was a good or a very lucky driver, who survived without breaching one of them.
With a new sergeant keeping all the constables around Aidensfield in order, PC Nick is focused on putting his best foot forward. But between a reckless cyclist and a traffic-stopping newcomer, making a good first impression is the least of Rhea’s worries.
PC Nick must solve the mysterious cause of an accident black-spot outside Field House and please his new sergeant all while keeping the busy streets of Aidensfield safe.
Nicholas Rhea’s delightful Constable tales paint an endearing and hilarious picture of police work in a rural district and was the inspiration for the Heartbeat TV series.
Constable Along the Highway was first published in 2001.

A new sergeant causes consternation - everyone is on their best behaviour at Aidensfield nick- including PC Nick himself - in an effort to impress the new sergeant. However, events soon take over and normality is somewhat restored when Nick is kept busy elsewhere. In the same vein as the other books in this long running series (and the TV series) - always a pleasant read with plenty of engaging characters, good humour and equally good storylines. An enjoyable, relaxing catch up with the Aidensfield folk.
Leyla J, Reviewer
In todays world, this book, written about policing and life in the 1960s, seems a million years away from 2018.
This book relates a more peace time in life, when policing was relatively easy, and people had respect for each other and the law. I lived the 60s in Australia, and whilst maybe not as idyllic as the English country side, this book really invokes great memories of the times.
The memoirs in this book are gentle and well told, all with humour and with a sense honesty and understanding of people .The underlining feeling of achievement and pride in doing the best one can of others, whilst doing your job.
In this busy and what feels like uncaring society, this book brings real peace and regret to what was and can never be again. A lovely book of nostalgia of live in the 60s in England.

This book is enjoyable as any other in this series. I love the cast of characters and the settings.
A cozy, humorous and truly enjoyable book that you cannot put down.
I look forward to read other instalment in this series.
Highly recommended!
