The booktrail could have written this text such is the never a truer word feeling we got when reading this about place and setting:
“People love to read about the places they know, recognized a town, a street, the local moorland. This helps them to draw them into the action, so that they can feel part of the story”
Real places
Graham Hurley’s Portsmouth or John Harvey’s Nottingham
Fictional setting in a real place
Stephen Booth – Derbyshire
The book is divided into thirteen regions and takes you on quite a journey. Fictional places such as Kate Ellis’s Tradmouth are widely accepted to be based on Dartmouth so this would come under Devon. Often a place can’t be disassociated with the author – Ann Cleeves country for example?This is the best way in the world to travel EVER! (In our humble opinion)
