Daily Telegraph; 'A fascinating insight into the life of a rural constable... the book makes splendid reading.' Police Journal; 'Rhea's real strengths are his sharp portraits of people.

Yorkshire Post; 'Filled with Yorkshire characters to make you laugh and cry... shows life through the eyes of a village bobby.'
