About this listen

Edinburgh has Rebus.
The Highlands have Logan.
Now Yorkshire has Grimm....

Welcome to Wensleydale, where the cheese is famous, the scenery beautiful, and the locals have murder on their minds....

Detective Chief Inspector Harry Grimm is forced to take leave from Bristol’s Major Investigations Team when his boss, tired of Harry chasing the ghost of his murderous father, sends him north on secondment.

Used to city life and high stress, Harry fears his life will now be spent handing out speeding tickets, finding lost sheep, and directing tourists. But when a local teenager runs away, Harry finds himself pulled into an investigation much worse than anyone could have ever expected.

The nicer the place, the darker the secrets. Wensleydale is beautiful, everyone is friendly and welcoming, and people just don’t get murdered...do they?

A classic fish-out-of-water crime mystery set in the stunning and evocative scenery of Wensleydale in North Yorkshire.

Grimm Up North is the terrific debut crime novel from award-winning author David J. Gatward. Perfect for fans of L. J. Ross, J. D. Kirk, Simon McCleave, Alex Smith, J. M. Dalgliesh, J. E. Mayhew, and J. R. Ellis.

As a northerner moving South, the opposite of DI Grimm it really hit a chord with me.

What got me hooked straight away was the description of Grimm's face, pure magic. No spoilers you need to experience it yourself.

Great storyline, fast paced, humorous and serious all simultaneously.

Wish the next were on on Audible but can't wait so switching to Kindle.

Brilliant

This is a superbly written and narrated debut crime novel from Mr Gasward, it is exciting edge of the seat stuff that keeps you entertained from page 1 to the very end. The characters are all well defined and Aubrey Parsons does his usual excellent job of voicing them individually. It is humorous in parts and serious in others. I loved Aubreys Dalesman accent for the people of Hawes, it wasn't over the top Yorkshire accent, to me it sounded just like our ex next door neighbour who was a true Dalesman. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good detective novel. *****
I was given a free copy of the book and have provided this honest review.

Very Enjoyable Read

I loved this book, its really well written and narrated, great characters who I can't wait to hear more about, and great descriptives.
I hope you really enjoy this book as much as I did. It sits perfectly in the "crime thriller" genre but there's also a bit of comedy and I can feel a romance coming on
DCI Harry Grimm is a proper copper, a salt of the earth kind of guy, and a sharp mind for putting the clues together to finish the puzzle.
I'm off now to listen to Best Served Cold, the next book in the series.
