Review
"'Stories of a constable on his village beat in North Yorkshire. All very gentle and far, far removed from the hurly burly of modern day city policing.' Daily Telegraph 'A fascinating insight into the life of a rural constable... the book makes splendid reading.' Police Journal 'Rhea's real strengths are his sharp portraits of people. The best humour comes from the author's close understanding and affectionate portrayals of the character of Yorkshire country folk.' Northern Echo 'An account of the hilarious happenings to the county's rural policemen over the years.' Yorkshire Post 'Filled with Yorkshire characters to make you laugh and cry... shows life through the eyes of a village bobby.' Whitby Gazette 'Nicholas Rhea is doing for the North Yorkshire Police what James Herriot did for the North Yorkshire vets... another delightful, simple tale of everyday life in Aidensfield from Constable Nick.' Driffield Post"
Product Description
The latest in the Constable series which inspired the hugely successful TV series Heartbeat Having qualified for promotion, Constable Nick must await a vacancy as he continues his rural duties at Aidensfield deep within the North York Moors National Park. As the spectacular countryside becomes increasingly busy with tourists, so the constabulary's day-to-day problems multiply, but not without minor incidents like people getting lost or the menace of discarded litter. So why would a man dump financial magazines in a moorland stream or a businessman throw sackfuls of rubbish into private woodland? What were the fearsome creatures which trapped tourists in a moorland village? Why would anyone abandon a wedding cake? There is more serious work when Nick discovers the body of a man in a remote moorland house and a dog finds a human leg in a wood, the funeral of a London gangster brings a hint of menace to Ashfordly, a grandfather clock mysteriously disappears after an auction and there's a prowler at a local hospital. There is the human side of his work, too, such as discussing home security with a lady who never closes her back door and the landlord who manages to persuade a royal personage to perform the opening ceremony at his new pub. But was she really HRH The Princess Margaret? This is the latest in the collection of rustic tales which inspired the top TV drama, Heartbeat and its sister series, The Royal.
