Publisher's summary

A tragic farm accident…or so it seems. Can this former big-city detective defeat the human monsters lurking in the Yorkshire Dales?

DCI Harry Grimm’s happy emotions are confusing the hell out of him. Enjoying the company of his new girlfriend and furry black dog, the usually gruff detective finds himself feeling genuinely content for the first time in a very long while. But it’s soon back to business as usual when the idyllic countryside is rocked by the demise of a popular farmer in a horrific hay-baler accident.

After the coroner rules the mangled remains a homicide, Grimm sends his team out to follow clues that provoke more questions than answers. And as his officers drop like flies, the victim’s adopted son vanishes, and suspicious threats emerge, the justice-driven investigator vows he’ll restore peace and slam another killer behind bars.

Can he shed light on the darkest of sins before more lives are lost in the hills?

Cold Sanctuary is the spellbinding eighth book in the DCI Harry Grimm Crime Thrillers series. If you like compelling police procedurals, gripping themes, and grab-you-by-the-seat suspense, then you’ll love David J. Gatward’s hard-hitting mystery.

I love this series!!

I voraciously consume English murder series and this by far is my absolute favorite. I love the way the author paints a vivid picture of the Dales and all of the main characters are really likeable. Even Harry with his ill temper!

Aubrey Parsons is also a fabulous narrator. From book to book he keeps the same voices for the different characters so it is really easy to know who is speaking.

If you like mysteries set in the countryside of Northern England you will love this series.

Absolutely wonderful if you love this series

The characters and the part they play are just wonderful to follow. The mystery almost seems secondary if you have been with Grimm from the beginning. The plot is covered in the review, but just download and enjoy the ride.

Loveable Characters

I love this series but have to admit, this one was difficult to read and listen to. I had to stop during a scene that was just too heartbreaking and I found myself crying tears of anger and of sadness. I won't give anything away. Those who have read or listened, will know.

Edge of my seat

I am throughly invested in each characters life now so I was on the edge of my seat again! David Gatward has a way with bringing each character to life and has a way with a story! Another excellent read and I love the narrator, Aubrey Parsons!
