Pawson is the man!,
By Berengaria "hazells" (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shooting Elvis (DI Charlie Priest Mystery) (Paperback)
Please note: No Elvis was harmed in the making of this story.
I've read ALL of Yorkshire-based Pawson's available stories of Inspector Charlie Priest, the longest serving DI in the East Pennine force in the fictional town of Heckley. This quirky title, just one of Pawson's many strengths, does eventually make sense, as with many more of his unusual and therefore memorable titles. Charlie as usual solves a number of intertwining mysteries and the characters are fresh and credible, each plot a brilliant device and expertly handled by a master. As it says on the tin (cover) "If you've not read Pawson before..shame on you !" - mainly because you are, in fact, missing a fantastic treat. Run, don't walk to obtain a copy now. You'll be glad you did. Happy reading.

Book Eleven in the DI Priest Series,
By
This review is from: Shooting Elvis (DI Charlie Priest Mystery) (Paperback)
Stuart Pawson had a career as a mining engineer, followed by a spell working for the probation service, before he became a full-time writer. He lives in the village of Fairburn, in Yorkshire only about four or five miles from where I live myself. A place I regularly visit to look at the bird sanctuary there with all the water birds and a welcome pint in the Bay Horse. Is selling your employer's customer base to their rivals a reason for murder? When a body is found it would appear that it is. Or is the victim a case of mistaken identity. DI Priest is happy in both his work and his life. His new girlfriend is a world class athlete and that's enough to put a smile on any man's face. But when a second body is found on his patch Charlie's smile soon disappears. He needs to discover what is motivating the killer to cause these death and quickly . . . Good entertaining crime fiction.

I liked this book by Stuart Pawson,
By andy capp (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shooting Elvis (DI Charlie Priest Mystery) (Paperback)
I liked this book by Stuart Pawson, I liked the dialogue between Priest and his team and at the same time Charlie stands no nonsense.
As Charlie was running through the woods with Sonia, as I read you can imagine the effort put in by both of them in order for Sonia to train for the race. I won't spoil it for readers who haven't read Shooting Elvis but I was surprised by things in the story, you'd never imagine that would happen. If you haven't read Shooting Elvis I strongly recommend you do so.
