Product Information

I have read a couple of books in this series, and I enjoyed them so much I decided to start the series from the beginning. I am pleased that I did. Grimm Up North did not disappoint; I engaged with this book from the start. I love David J. Gatward's portrayal of his characters and how they interact throughout this book. Gimm Up North is well-written and researched by David J. Gatward. I love David J. Gatward's description of the sittings of Grimm Up North, which allowed me to imagine being part of the book plot. At first, his secondment to the bucolic countryside populated by farmers and tourists seems like the perfect place to go stir crazy, but then a teen goes missing, and soon enough there's a body by a lake and despite his new Superindendent's admonishments to not disrupt the idyl of the dales, as if his IED scarred face wasn't enough to do the job proper like, Harry just has to roll up his sleeves and do the job.

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.

DCI Harry Grimm tends to drive his superintendent with the Bristol police a bit crazy. He knows his stuff, her gets results, but a lot of people seemed to get beaten up in the process. It doesn’t help that he’s still looking for his father; 20 years before, the man violently abused Grimm’s younger brother and killed his mother. He was never caught.

While the plot unfolds with engaging momentum, there are instances where the pacing stumbles, momentarily disrupting the immersive experience. However, Gatward's narrative resilience ensures that the story swiftly regains its captivating stride. The novel's strength lies in its ability to balance the dark with the ordinary, creating a narrative that is both believable and thought-provoking.Lynskey, Dorian (7 September 2007).

Best Served Cold” by David J Gatward sees DCI Harry Grimm getting to know about his seemingly crime infested posting. When he investigates a tragic farm accident, he is convinced that foul play was involved. But this killer is not the usual type as he has been hardened over the years and is now exacting revenge. Grimm never expected to be dealing with murder in the small tranquil town of Wensleydale. He is not sure if the first instance is murder or something else thought the circusmtances are very troubling. When there is a second very suspicious murder, Harry starts getting overwhelmed given the size of his team. Over the next few days, he starts theorizing that the killer is doing the homicides for revenge on what he believes had happened in the past. Meanwhile, there is so much fear in town that almost nobody comes out of their houses. But this is a killer that is as brutally effective as he is invisible. Some people have been threatening to take the law into their own hands and as DCI Grimm’s wounds from the past begin to open once again, he realizes he is about to journey into Hell itself. It turns out that the small hamlet is nothing like what it seemed like at first. This year marks the second visit to Bury for the Grimm Up North team who set up the festival last year in response to extraordinary circumstances faced by their friend Steve Grimmett (Grim Reaper) who was in urgent need of funds to raise thousands of pounds for life – saving surgery in South America.

DCI Harry Grimm is a detective with a dark past who gets relocated from the city of Bristol to the quaint Yorkshire town of Hawes. This is a very common trope, and somewhat overused, but one that works well if the author can get the feeling of the Yorkshire village just right. In this case, the author lived in the town of Hawes for some years so he knows it very well. I once spent a weeks vacation nearby so have been there myself. It's kind of an iconic village so a great place to set a Yorkshire crime story. (Take a look on Google street view, it's an amazing place and you can find most of the places mentioned in the book.)The Jams - The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu – It's Grim Up North".

A Somerset resident born in March 1973; David, who was an elementary school teacher by profession, has been the Managing Director of Kevin Mayhew Publishers since January 2017. Between April 2007 and August 2009; David worked for the UK government’s Ofsted department. While has many hobbies, David J Gatward’s most favorite thing is writing. When he is not writing, he can often be found hanging out with his wife and two children. He also runs triathlons, makes homemade pizza, camps out in the wild, goes swimming, SUP boarding and cooks sausages on a small Firebox Stove whenever he goes out hiking in Hive Beach in Dorset. Another thing that I liked about the book was the author's description of the Yorkshire Dales, a beautiful place. I kept seeing images of scenery from the television series "All Creatures Great and Small" and that was not an unpleasant thing.
