Bradford’s in West Yorkshire and I venture to the Dales and around. Bradford is only a stone’s throw from Bronte country. They are very dark though , if you like that sort of thing

@Trevor has just released a book based in Saltburn, It’s called Funicular.
@Malcolm has the DCI Bennett (Harrogate) series, which is amazing. @Louise has the DCI Ryan series, based round Northumberland, the books are wonderful. You will find the series under LJ Ross. Peter Robinson with the DCI Banks series, is based in North Yorkshire. (The books are much better than the tv series)!
