Brief Description – a detective is sent reluctantly from Bristol to North Yorkshire on a secondment. What he discovers is far different than what he is used to.
This book was recommended by my brother in law. He tends to read traditionally published books rather than the Indie ones I like.
I expected this to be one, but unsure as it’s full of extremely long and clumsy sentences. But having said that, I really liked it.
Grimm Up North is extremely entertaining. From the busy city to the wild countryside and village, life is indeed a culture shock for our erstwhile detective. The touches of humour kept me amused as did the culture differences between the north and south of the country.
The book was under 300 pages and in Kindle Unlimited and perfectly suited my reading habits. I shall be moving straight on to the second book of the series.
Blurb
A young woman vanishes without a trace. Can an ex-soldier-turned-copper keep a mystery from becoming a tragedy?
Bristol, England. DCI Harry Grimm carries his horrific IED scars both inside and out. But when the ex-paratrooper’s obsession with tracking down his murderous father nearly throws an investigation, the dyed-in-the-wool city dweller is horrified to be reassigned to North Yorkshire’s rural backwater. Determined to escape his exile of parking tickets and lost lambs, he does his best to alienate the locals… until a teen disappears.
Well-acquainted with the ugly desires of human traffickers, Grimm fears the victim may have already met a gruesome end. So when he and his team make an awful discovery, his instinct for trouble tells him he’s stumbled across a special type of scum who could be hiding in plain sight.
Will the hard-nosed investigator nail his prey before the town mourns one of its own?
Grimm Up North is the gripping first book in the Harry Grimm crime fiction series. If you like driven but appealing heroes, British countryside settings, and a dollop of humor, then you’ll love David J. Gatward’s fish-out-of-water suspense.
