Do you know of a book like this?

[PH lurker]

I'm looking for a a fiction book, as I've had trouble reading long passages for about a year and a half. I've tried different things to get me back in such as 'The Driver' but have been unsuccessful. I've also tried books linked to hobbies but still struggle, having to revert to magazines, PH, and factual books.

Does anyone know of a book with a similar kind of feel to the TV series 'New Tricks'? I really enjoy those programmes and think something similar would get me back into fiction. Cheers for any suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestions, I shall look into them. Cheers.

I don't really know New Tricks but just read the Wiki. Is it Detectives that interest you,or is it the crimes?

It's a bit of both. The reason I said New Tricks and not detectives/ crime novels is that it is a mix I haven't seen elsewhere of crime/murder mysteries as well as humour. I don't mind the personal stories going on around it either. Also a British feel.

Thanks all, for the help and suggestions, I will buy a couple of the recommended books over the next week or two and see how I get on.

Excellent, I've read the first one and really enjoyed it. I've bought the second one and third one.



Thanks, might get round to some of the others on this thread one day.
