Written in memoir form as a fond look back at policing in the 1960's, Nicholas Rhea again brings us
a look at Britain's PC Rhea as he patrols and attempts to keep the peace in Ashfordly and environs.

As we face our frantic world verging on 2019, I could feel the stress dropping from my shoulders and I read - and laughed - at the incidents that keep Nick running the roads in the North York Moors. This is a book to treasure, and read again when needed. By mid-book, I considered these folk friends, and Nick Rhea a very lucky man.

I received a free electronic copy of this entertaining book from Netgalley, Nicholas Rhea, and Agora Books in exchange for an honest review. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me.

In todays world, this book, written about policing and life in the 1960s, seems a million years away from 2018.
This book relates a more peace time in life, when policing was relatively easy, and people had respect for each other and the law. I lived the 60s in Australia, and whilst maybe not as idyllic as the English country side, this book really invokes great memories of the times.
The memoirs in this book are gentle and well told, all with humour and with a sense honesty and understanding of people .The underlining feeling of achievement and pride in doing the best one can of others, whilst doing your job.
In this busy and what feels like uncaring society, this book brings real peace and regret to what was and can never be again. A lovely book of nostalgia of live in the 60s in England.

This book is enjoyable as any other in this series. I love the cast of characters and the settings.

I look forward to read other instalment in this series.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Agora Books and Netgalley for this ARC

There’s a new sergeant in Aidensfield & Nick is focused on putting his best foot forward. But between a reckless cyclist and a traffic-stopping newcomer, making a good first impression is the least of Rhea's worries. Nick must solve the mysterious cause of an accident black-spot outside Field House and please his new sergeant all while keeping the busy streets of Aidensfield safe.
Another very enjoyable read in the series. I like the Constable books as a light read that always leaves me with a warm feeling
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

A new sergeant causes consternation - everyone is on their best behaviour at Aidensfield nick- including PC Nick himself - in an effort to impress the new sergeant. However, events soon take over and normality is somewhat restored when Nick is kept busy elsewhere. In the same vein as the other books in this long running series (and the TV series) - always a pleasant read with plenty of engaging characters, good humour and equally good storylines. An enjoyable, relaxing catch up with the Aidensfield folk.
