Pickpockets, pimps and prostitutes: All in a day's work for the city constable - until work moves too close to home... When Richard Nottingham, Constable of Leeds, discovers his former housemaid murdered in a particularly sickening manner, his professional and personal lives move perilously close. Circumstances seem to conspire against him, and more murders follow. Soon the city fathers cast doubt on his capability, and he is forced to seek help from an unsavoury source. Not only does the murder investigation keep running into brick walls, and family problems offer an unwelcome distraction; he can't even track down a thief who has been a thorn in his side for months. When answers start to emerge, Nottingham gets more than he bargains for...

Publ. In 2010 and set in 1731 this is the first of the Richard Nottingham series. It is not massively descriptive of the period but there is enough to give you an idea of what it was like. What was good is the fact that from the start of the crime the procedure followed by the Constable was easy to understand and quite tense and gripping in places. Of all the Chris Nickson books that I have read this was one of the best.

Printed in Reading, UK this book went to be leant out in the Mastics Moriches Shirley Community Library in New York. It then was obtained and sold by Better World of Books in Mishawaka, IN. USA.
It has just been delivered to me in Pontymister, South Wales, UK and will be going with me to Fuerteventura via Red Hill and Gatwick next week. I think it should be classified as a travel book rather than crime fiction.
