Constable Along the Lane — Nicholas Rhea

This is a cheerful and entertaining insight into the daily life of a rural police officer. A book to make you laugh - and cry. Crime comes to Aidensfield when haystacks are fired, and Arnold Merryweather's ancient bus helps catch a car thief. And when PC Rhea arrests not only a pig thief but also the expectant pig, the police station cleaner is not very pleased. But it's not all crime. A glider crashes into a romance in a thatched cottage and then Rhea is involved in a plot to force a Yorkshire miser to spend money.
