Grimm Up North

A DCI Harry Grimm Crime Novel

De: David J. Gatward

Narrado por: Aubrey Parsons

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.

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.

I loved it! This is a great series,even better if you read this book first!lol Aubrey Parsons is a terrific narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A nice change from the usual tale

Engaging story. Creditable characters, Wonderful narrator. Over-the-top (Uncomfortably) angry Harry when he was provoked. Worth the listen though. I was pleasantly surprised by the author’s end note, and his expressed appreciation to us readers.

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.

Great plot, setting and characters -

Beautifully narrated please procedurals set in rural UK been looking for a new series. Definitely following up on this writer. Enjoy.

Fascinating opening story of Harry Grime.

the opening book in the series leaves us wanting more. well done and we will listen on to the following mystery stories.

Short, but interesting storyline

loved the description of the area. I had difficulty with the harsh voice of the narrTor.

Narrators voice, likable characters

very entertaining! likable characters, great twist and turns! I saw thus on a recommendation page from Joy Ellis's page after burning through all of her books! i love a new series!

Fun.

It was to bond with the characters, the story was lightweight and fun. A good escape. On to #2..

Great start to a new series

I enjoyed the first book in the series and will definitely get more. The main character shouldn't be likeable but he is. The narrator's accents are admirable and he has a way of reading that makes it interesting to listen to. My only critism is that he occasionally reads the wrong word and that confuses the story. For example he reads "Call him, Jim" when it is meant to be "Call Jim. I missed the next bit because my brain popped up with "When did Jim get there"?
