I have been accused of being biased with regard to Robert Barnard as he writes about an area I know well. When the villagers had a meal in the Duke of York pub in Shelf I wondered if they had the table in the window. Slepton Edge is fictional, but I could almost pinpoint it on the map. You don't need to know the area at all to enjoy the book but it was an added bonus for me.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending this book to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Case of the Missing Bronte by Robert Barnard]].
Charlie Peace doesn't always star in Robert Barnard's novels – occasionally he takes a supporting roll, as in [[The Graveyard Position by Robert Barnard|The Graveyard Position]], which we also recommend. If good, unpretentious police procedural novels appeal to you then we think you'd also enjoy the work of [[Savage Moon by Chris Simms|Chris Simms]]. He's another northern writer, but with the misfortune of being from the wrong side of the Pennines.
