Publisher's summary

A gruesome tradition, a blood-spattered crime scene, and a killer hiding in plain sight.

Detective Harry Grimm is a worried man. When a group of vigilante locals start patrolling the Dales in response to a recent spate of crimes, he is forced to warn them off. Things only get more complicated when he is called out to multiple crime scenes—each with plenty of blood but no bodies.

Very soon, though, body parts start turning up. Delivered in a way that echoes a local poem and an old-but-grisly village ceremony. Faced with the bloody evidence in front of him, Grimm soon realizes that his worst fears have come true: someone has already taken the law into their own hands.

With an ancient tradition being used to commit modern-day murder, can this battle-scarred detective stop the lanes of the Dales running red with blood?

Blood Trail is the tenth book in the riveting Harry Grimm police procedural series. If you like compelling characters, twisting plots, and beautiful British countryside settings, then you’ll love David J. Gatward’s nail-biting mystery.

Blood Trail is the tenth book in the DCI Harry Grimm crime thriller series, set in the Yorkshire Dales. Perfect for fans of L. J. Ross, J. D. Kirk, Adam Croft, Simon McCleave, Alex Smith, J. M. Dalgliesh, J. E. Mayhew, and J. R. Ellis.

Good story line

This was definitely not as predictable as the two prior ones. I liked the story a lot, and the return of my favorite pathologist. The narrator does a good job with the men except for Harry’s girlfriend’s voice- he’s speaking her like she’s a 90 year old toothless woman. This was what really distracted and took me out of the story line. Whenever she was in the chapter, my ears were cringing.

This has become my favorite series in this genre!

I absolutely love this series and I am super happy to hear that David Gatward has plans to continue writing these stories for a good while. They can't come out quick enough for me. I love the descriptions of the Dales and I also love all of the characters. For me it's a bit like a visit with good friends and I can't wait to find out what will happen to them next.

Aubrey Parsons is a wonderful voice actor and his distinctive voices really help the story come to life.

another good book in this series

Lots of depth in the plot an interesting setting where the place is very much a character and a reoccurring one. There are other recurring characters which are like old friends returning to the scenes of the crime. Although the book involves serious crimes it's still does not go ini a real dark direction. A very enjoyable read and listen the narrator has a hard job differentiating characters and does very well with it. I will say that the books would be more enjoyable if you read some of the books from the beginning to understand the backstory.

It was good

I’ve loved this entire series. However, this one fell a bit short and moved slow until the end. The humor was excellent!!!! I do love Grimm and all the characters. I definitely plan on moving forward with book # 11.

Love this series!

I have listened to all the Harry Grimm books and love them all! The narrator is amazing and is absolutely perfect in character interpretation. The characters are very human, believable and those on Harry's team are wonderful. The plots are intriguing. Keep 'em coming, Mr. Gatward!
