More murder in the Peak District Find!
Just finished reading The Edge by Chris Simms. Chris normally writes gritty crime stories based in Manchester but in this book the action moves out into the Peak District. Edale, Buxton, Glossop are all mentioned but the fictional town of Haverdale is where? It has a police station and visitor centre (that sounds just like Edale's). Location seems to be more like Hathersage? This is a quick, exciting read featuring drugs, rare bird egg stealing, and family relationships under strain as DI Jon Spicer investigates the death of his younger brother.14 August 2009 from Will Newman

Talking of murder in the Peak the series of books by John Buxton Hilton are interesting. Some are set in the present time and some especially the Inspector Brunt ones set in the Victorian times. These are very interesting books as they provide an insite into life in the Peak at that time. The "Gamekeeper’s Gallows" does is very good in its dealings with the Cromford and High Peak Railway.
I really enjoyed all his Victorian ones, particularly Gamekeeper's Gallows and Rescue from the Rose which is set in a Buxton pub. Of the modern ones Some Run Crooked is my favourite, set in Peak Forest.
