Set in my locality which I really enjoyed. Good interesting story without being gruesome or graphic. I hope that there will be future books.

A gentle read, but really well written, with accurate descriptions of Derbyshire. The towns and countryside are a vital part of this book. Some interesting relationships between the characters develop during the story, so it could easily become a series. Looking forward to meeting the author at our book group.

A great read. Really good story, good pace and well written. Policing in the 1960’s.

I really liked the subtle humour and the fact that there were no gory details, violence, bad language etc. just an honest story. Look forward to another one.

Very readable book. Nicely located in Derbyshire and felt the author really knew the place. Likeable characters and room to develop them for future books in the series? Plot and language is simplistic and basic. I ultimately felt like the conclusion of this book was frustrating and underwhelming.

Picked up in a local bookshop in Wirksworth as a holiday read while visiting.
Not my usual read by I did enjoy it. 🙂
