First Rate Crime Fiction

Stuart Pawson had a career as a mining engineer He followed this with a spell working for the probation service, before he became a full-time writer. He lives in the pleasant waterside village of Fairburn in Yorkshire. The author's writing is gritty and to the point added to which he has a likeable sense of humour that he usually incorporates into his books, all of which I have found enjoyable. This book published in 1998 is the fifth book in the DI Charlie Priest series. For those new to the virtually all of the action takes place in Yorkshire and Charlie Priest is a no nonsense, down to earth copper. A refreshing change from the smash, bang , shoot anything that moves type of book (I like some of those too) that are currently the fashion and are being written in their droves. When a bullet ends the life and the career of Dr. Clive Jordan, his friends and colleagues are devastated, particularly, it seems, the female ones. If the good doctor had not been discreet in his affairs the first thing Detective Inspector Charlie Priest would have suspected would have been a jealous husband, or lover. Surely it is not going to be that simple?
