Publisher's summary

A grisly death staged as an accident. Can a hard-nosed copper track a killer as elusive as a shadow?

North Yorkshire, England. Detective Chief Inspector Harry Grimm is reluctantly easing into life in the dales. As he gradually acclimatizes to the slower pace of the countryside while he awaits a return to the city, he’s called out to inspect a farmer’s crushed body. And despite the doctor on site declaring it a tragic mishap, the seasoned police officer rolls up his sleeves when evidence points to foul play.

Frustrated with the lack of witnesses and suspects, Grimm whips his easygoing team into action when a second corpse is found. And with a mysterious clue the only connection and the not-so-quiet village in self-imposed lockdown, the city-bred cop hunts for a link lethal enough to lead to murder….

Can he stop the picturesque countryside from becoming a blood-filled cemetery?

Best Served Cold is the riveting second book in the DCI Harry Grimm crime fiction series. If you like square pegs jammed into round holes, deeply textured plots, and lively local color, then you’ll love David J. Gatward's riveting puzzle.

Larger than life characters

I wasn’t that thrilled with the first in series, but was compelled enough to read the next and see what developed. I am now a fan. These characters are rich, well thought out and very funny in their banter with each other as they respond to the crimes they are solving. I’m hoping the crime story lines improve a bit in subsequent books, however, but being the Dales and not London, we’ll have to see. This plot was ok but pretty predictable. That said, I had so much fun reading the conversations they all had with each other that I am definitely in for the long haul and eager to read more. Bring em on!

Can’t say enough good things

At first I didn’t like the narrater but little way into the first book I LOVE him. He has so many voices. Each book is better than the last one.

Just found Harry Grimm...love the grit and softnes

The voice and humanity of Harry as he blends into another world is a variety of thoughtful engagement in the world of people and their differences. Humor could save us from our darker sides. Humor is courageous choice in light of the strife going on daily. I love this series because people learn from their experiences and begin to bond through supporting each other while solving crimes. I could go on but best to simply say...read or listen to this series...it.s delightful.

I laughed out loud a few times. Harry Grim has an unusual personality.

I enjoyed the book and getting to know the Dales and the team working with Harry. Looking forward to the next book in the series. The narrator was excellent with his gruff voice that could turn into a young woman quite well. I thought he was perfect for the book.
