Bristol-based books.

[Mezzanine]

Bit of a random request but do the PH reading contingent have any recommendations for good books based in/about Bristol?

There must be some crime/thrillers not set in London or Oxford! Or some literary fiction?

Even though I'm sitting here in the centre of the city, have lived here for the thick end of forty years, and am married to a Bristol publisher, I can't think of one. But I'm sure they're out there... I'll ask Mrs Y because she has an encyclopaedic knowledge of books, esp crime etc, and may well reel some off.

Mezzanine – good album by the way

Hopefully Mrs. Y can remember something.

I lived in Bristol for a few years and really miss it, hence why I felt the need to immerse myself in some great writing about the place.

Maybe a niche in the market, and an excuse to move back (and learn to write!)

One of the best albums

I live near Bristol and work in the city and can only think of Treasure Island

There must surely be some Cliffhangers and Suspense books about Bristol?

Out of curiosity I looked on google and found these Bristol based books (I have no idea how good they are!):

Charlie Revelle-Smith has done a few Bristol based crime thrillers.

Those synopses sound realistically depressing at any rate.
