We had a very good meeting this month, with the new committee and chair doing an excellent job.
Business was covered off quite quickly, moving on to the more interesting part of the evening.
Our speaker was Jonathan Cox, who retired from the Metropolitan Police in 2013 and within days had published the first of his books in The Nostrils Series.
We learned how Jonathan’s real life policing experiences had fed into the storylines of his books and why the main character has the nickname of ‘Nostrils’.
This was a fun talk, with lots of enlightening and entertaining stories, which gave a good insight into the atmosphere and attitudes of policing in the 1980s.
Members were able to purchase Jonathan’s books at the end of the evening and the Book Club are considering his first novel, ‘From Green to Blue’, as one of their monthly reads.
