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.

Good mystery

I didn’t see the end coming, so that was good. I rather like old Harry though he is a bit grim, pun intended. Loved the accents, Aubrey Parsons did an excellent job narrating and providing enough variation in voices that I could usually tell who was speaking.

A story with lots of twists and turns not to dark

A nice story it's a story that has lots of toys and turns it's in turn it's a little more a little police procedure with with a good plot line. It will be interesting to see how the author develops all the charactersAnd gives them a deeper voice as he continues to give a voice to the area or setting which is actually on additional character. I hope the author can find some additional storylines issue of storylines besides murder the that would make sense in an area like this. Whether it's smuggling or historical ruins and artifacts, Like in all these placed based mysteries the reality is Murder is not as frequent as they make it so finding some alternatives will be interesting. The performance was OK but I think in any new series if the performer stays with the audio series he'll He'll begin to develop clearer voices on all the characters.
