Summary

The brilliantly entertaining and heartwarming books behind the hit '90s TV series Heartbeat. One of the top 10 most watched shows of the decade.

Policeman Nick Rhea has been posted to the country with his wife, Mary, and their three small children. They move into the police house, high on a ridge overlooking the moors. It sits on the edge of the village of Aidensfield - 'probably the most beautiful site in the country'. In the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside of the 1960s, Constable Nick's roles are as varied as the eccentric villagers. He handles every encounter with his characteristic humour, humanity and professionalism. His investigations include the case of a clever pony who keeps escaping, a woman running through town naked and a pack of Canadian timber wolves hanging out in a bus shelter.

Critic reviews

"It’s original, it’s funny...one of life’s little pleasures.” (Yorkshire Post)

“Stories of a constable on his village beat in North Yorkshire. All very gentle and far, far removed from the hurly burly of modern day city policing.” (Daily Telegraph)

Most relevant

I didn’t expect to enjoy this, but I was pulled into its warmth. There is no driving narrative, but a series of episodes. It’s full of humanity and community, giving a glimpse of a way of life now forgotten.
