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.

I grew up in Yorkshire before moving to Canada in 1991. Listening to these books, while "Grimm", are just wonderful. The story is interesting, suspenseful, thrilling and the characters are easy to love or hate. I'll be going through the full series. Thank you!

This book took me home.

I tried soooo hard to like the narration. But that voice and delivery is suitable for military boot camp, not story telling. What a shame. Such a good story ruined by listening to forced intonations and gravelly heavy voice that never lets up and lightens up. Won't be listening to anymore unless the narrator changes.
