His bailiwick is an imaginary town H conveniently located east of the Pennine "Tops" somewhere in a triangle formed by Manchester, Halifax, and Huddlesfield. In addition to being a dedicated cop with a finely tuned sense of morality, as well as a finely tuned sense of humor, he's also an artist and a keen walker among the hills and mountains of his beloved Pennines.
Maybe because of his sense of humor, his love of nature and beauty, Priest isn't burdened with the angst which characterizes Rebus and Banks. His Huddersfield nick is also a fairly pleasant place to work since everyone seems to like each other and work together well as a team with none of the backbiting and jealousies that plague the other fictional detectives Because of the low key approach and Priest's laid back style, the books do not have quite the same level of gravitas as those featuring Rebus, or Cooper and Fry, but the crimes Priest and his team investigate are right out of the headlines and are violent and ugly.
This particular case involves an apparent suicide but it's strangeness makes Priest take a closer look. Along the way, he uncovers a pattern a fraud and other serious crimes. While it is not essential to read the books in order, I'd recommend doing since most of the characters are permanent and there are changes in Charlie's life. It's a highly enjoyable series and Priest is an attractive and likeable protagonist. If you enjoy British mysteries in which the setting seeps into the plot, you'll appreciate this modern Yorkshire mystery which is full of local color and crime.

The author has a knack for being super-descriptive where it's needed and glossing over things when it's not. The prose flows smoothly and is simply a joy to read.

My only fear is that I'm reading through them too fast. I am in the midst of so man Absolutely love this series featuring DI Charlie Priest as the main character. I am in the midst of so many different series that I typically rotate them and it's often four to six months, if not longer, between series books. However, I've been visiting Charlie every other month or so, and sadly because the author has since passed away I know there are a limited number of these ahead of me. I really like this English police procedural series and this entry was no exception. The lead character, DI Charlie Priest, is a very likable, humorous, and well adjusted guy who gets along with the his co-workers.
The first person narration flowed nicely and the plot had a number of twists and turns. Nov 21, Trawets rated it really liked it. This is the first book of Stuart Pawson's I've read. It features one DI Charlie Priest a policeman with a sense of humour, jokes and quips pepper this entertaining who-dun-it However there is serious crime novel here as well as the humour, which makes the characters all the more believeable. I'll be looking out for more of Stuart Pawson's books.

Feb 19, Ann rated it really liked it. This author was recommended to me by the owner of Callan's Bookstore in Stratford, Ontario, Canada this past summer. I brought it along for something to read while we enjoyed a month in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The paperback's cover reads, "Perfect for a long winter afternoon with the rain beating down on the windows" Independent on Sunday.
Unfortunately it was in the 70s and sunny although it is February and the surf pounding might substitute for rain. Didn't make a bit of difference.

His sense of the what is appropriate and his sense of humor are a delight. Here finally is a new series that makes me want to read all the entries. Local financial adviser broker Hartley Goodrich is found dead in his armchair with a gaping gash in his head and beside him a flowerpot. Clearly murder, and when DI Charlie Priest starts to investigate it quickly becomes clear that a lot of people want Hartley dead after his advice had lost his clients a small fortune.

A very enjoyable story. Sep 23, Alistair rated it really liked it. Pawson does his best not to time date his books. Sadly including 'Filofax' and 'Princess Diana' put it firmly in the 's. To be fair that does not really detract from the plot and I am only being picky. This is my fourth Pawson and won't be my last.
