David, following on from your message I looked him up on Wikipedia. Here's the link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._F._Newman He sounds like quite an interesting guy - and I hadn't realised he was responsible for the Judge John Deeds series. Be interested to know how you get on with the book.

I just picked up one of his books "Crime and Punishment" for £1.54 on the kindle. It appears to be one, I think the first, in a series about a family over half a century. Coincidentally some of his books are being serialised this week as afternoon plays on radio 4. Any information or opinions would be welcome. David
