Constable in the Dale (Constable Nick Mystery Book 5)

Description

Dirty tricks at the best-kept village competition.

Constable Nick patrols his rural Yorkshire beat on foot or on his trusty Francis Barnett motorcycle. But as beautiful as the villages are, they conceal real human drama.

Nick is on hand to help out when Aidensfield decides to enter the Best Kept Village competition and finds itself the victim of a dirty tricks campaign by its rivals.

Then there is the mystery of the spontaneously combusting henhouse, and Nick has to cope with the consequences when the vicar tries a novel way of keeping the churchyard tidy.

Charming, funny tales with a country flavor.

“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

In the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside of the 1960s, Constable Nick’s roles are as varied as the eccentric villagers.

It’s not the big city, but the Yorkshire countryside is still full of incident.

Perfect for fans of James Herriot, TE Kinsey, Gerald Durrell, or J. R. Ellis, or anyone who loves a great read.
