Hi
Dorothy Koomson writes books based in Leeds and they are great. Maybe more romantic fiction but good still.

The Brontes and J.B.priestly wrote one or two books in the area.

For modern writings, I can recommend Kethani by Eric Brown.

David Peace's Yorkshire Quartet is set in West Yorkshire. Mainly in Leeds but also in Osset, Wakefield and Bradford. These books are awesome.

"Torc of Moonlight" by Linda Acaster is a supernatural thriller, or paranormal if you must, set in Hull and on the North York Moors. It's getting good reviews. Sample chapters at www.lindaacaster.co.uk

I come from Thirsk, and as this is the home of James Herriot, I'm not aware of any set in Leeds? As far as I know, they are all set in North Yorkshire x
