Constable Nick Mystery #1-10
Constable Nick Box Set 1–10
In this 10-book box set:
Book 1: CONSTABLE ON THE HILL
In the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside of the 1960s, Constable Nick gets acquainted with the eccentric villagers. He handles every encounter with unfailing humour, humanity and professionalism. His cases include a wilful pony, a shameless streaker and a pack of wolves in a bus shelter.
Book 2: CONSTABLE ON THE PROWL
Constable Nick is on night duty. And that means anything but a simple shift. Between a fracas the farming community, a badger with a sweet tooth, and getting to know his new workmates, there’s no time for Nick to kick his feet up. The village is asleep but the wrong-doers aren’t.
Book 3: CONSTABLE AROUND THE VILLAGE
Just as Constable Nick is getting to grips with rural life, he faces a canine crisis. Farmer Lowe’s overworked sheepdog is feigning deafness. Without him, the cows cannot be milked and five sheep turn up dead. Can Nick salvage the town’s farming future while juggling his other cases?
Book 4: CONSTABLE ACROSS THE MOORS
Life on the beautiful moors has plenty of surprises for Constable Nick, from affairs of the heart to the more curious side of the law. But when Ted Williamson’s sheep start disappearing, can Rhea find the culprit without making enemies of the farmers of Yorkshire?
Book 5: CONSTABLE IN THE DALE
As beautiful as Yorkshire’s villages are, they’re far from drama-free. 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.
Book 6: CONSTABLE BY THE SEA
Constable Nick takes a break from his usual beat and heads to the seaside — for a dose of sun, sea and summer hijinks. But how will he fare with holidaymakers and their problems? And how long before he’s wishing he could be back home with his wife and kids?
Book 7: CONSTABLE ALONG THE LANE
A crime wave is coming to Aidensfield. A string of isolated barns are set on fire and Constable Nick soon realises he has an arsonist on his hands. Luckily, there’s help at hand: in the unlikely shape of Arnold Merryweather’s ancient bus.
Book 8: CONSTABLE THROUGH THE MEADOW
Constable Nick must swap his trusty bike for a mini-van. It’s all in the name of progress, but some things never change. Namely, Nick’s talent for riding into embarrassing scrapes. This time around, his problems involve illicit lovers, bossy wives and countless other characters.
Book 9: CONSTABLE IN DISGUISE
Constable Nick’s foray into the CID — aka, “Constable in Disguise” — is nothing if not eventful. His first mission calls for extreme stealth. Nick must keep watch on a suspected brothel. But just one misstep up on the roof is enough to blow his cover spectacularly.
Book 10: CONSTABLE AMONG THE HEATHER
Constable Nick opens his pocketbook to bring us more madcap tales of Aidensfield life. What’s to be done about Albert Potter’s homemade wines and Farmer Bayley’s souped-up tractor — last seen rampaging through the countryside? As always, it’s up to young Nick to keep the peace.

Joy in small moor villages
What a pleasure to read. All 10 books set in a period where life moved at a pace one could enjoy and in my case remember as I lived in a town where you knew the police officers. Where they could drop by for a cup of tea. Where damaging a person reputation was protected as well as they were by those trusted officers. They cared and you knew it. Enjoy the read.

Started Well but Eventually go a bit dull and vaguely repetitive, 10 books is probably a few too many in a box set. Loved working out where the actual places are and linking to the characters on the TV series it spawned

A Great Read!
I enjoyed the anecdotes in this series of books. Some of the stories are hilarious. This was a pleasant way to spend time.

I am thoroughly enjoying the series. So much humor as well as points of seriousness. I know I have many more to read by this author. I was somewhat saddened to learn he has passed away.

Excellent, very well written.
Lovely tails of a buy gone age. How Britain used to be. When Britain was populated by the British! Oh how sad it has become.
