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.

Fantastic!

Another great Grimm novel! I love the team, the friendship, the mystery and the outcome. I also enjoy the storyline of each character!

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.

Great story as always

Can’t wait for the next book, which says it all about this series. Brilliantly written

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!

Just love this series

This book along with the other books in the series is fantastic. The narrator is unbelievable. Can’t wait to read the next one

Writing and Narrating

I just love these books! All of them. Always exciting and page turners. Give me Gatward and Parsons any day. Both are the absolute best.

So Good

I am Very glad I have more DCI Harry Grim books to read. Love the descriptions of the location and Harry’s supporting characters.

This is another series I really like aside J D Kirk's mystery series. City 'tecs relocated to
deep country cop shops... very interesting country and characters, thoughtful, sometimes fun plots... This "glass hammer" - not a clue BTW- volume ended abruptly with a swear word from me.
- there better be another volume behind this
one. :-) The series I know as "cake and cheese" -- go figure.
