Self-serving it may be, but I’d like to draw attention to a recent piece on Tony Beale’s blog, Home Thoughts, in which he writes at some length about the pleasures he has derived from reading the Resnick novels, in particular their depiction of the faces and places of a Nottingham that has changed in many ways between the first – Lonely Hearts way back in 1989 – and the most recent, this year’s Darkness, Darkness.
Tony also discusses the novels in comparison with those by Ian Rankin, Mark Billingham and others.
The post can be found here.

Enjoyed this link and left a comment on Beale’s blog. He was spot on with the realism and the Everyman aspect of the Resnick novels. Thanks for the link~
