Restless Dead

Harry Grimm, Book 5

By: David J. Gatward

His latest case has him chasing ghosts. But the murderer is flesh-and-blood hiding in the ashes....

DCI Harry Grimm is on the cusp of a stunning decision. Considering making his move to the scenic Yorkshire Dales permanent, he ends up reviewing details of a terrible car accident that killed a retired colonel's beloved wife. But when the panicked widower calls the police claiming the deceased woman's spirit is haunting him, the dedicated detective wades in to piece together a less implausible explanation.

With suspicions running high after a cabin on the property burns down, Grimm and his team are shocked to identify the scorched human remains that leave behind a twice-grieving family. And when he uncovers evidence the fire wasn't simple misfortune, the no-nonsense investigator is certain the culprit is more than a ghastly ghoul....

Can he nab the phantom killer before they vanish into thin air?

What a marvelous combo!

I’m thrilled that I’ve found the Grimm books and will read every one of them. I love the characters, the Fells, Gatward and Parsons. Gatward tells a great story and Parsons is one of the best narrators I’ve ever listened to. On to the next books!

Not as good as the 1st four books in the series

I have really enjoyed the first 4 books in this series, so I'm sad to say I'm disappointed by the 5th one. Nothing really happens until the very last couple chapters. Kinda of like an extended " MacGuffin". And While I expect a great deal of exposition about Harry's world and its people, this book takes it to such an extreme it's like slogging through a swamp. Sometimes I would skip ahead in chapter just in frustration. Visit the house .. Visit the sheep .. wash and repeat!

Aubrey's narration remains spot on, and I intend to continue with the series assuming this one is an exception, But I cannot imagine ever re-listening to this one.

A fantastic series

I started reading the Harry Graham novels a few months ago the writing is of course superb, but the humor in it makes me at least laugh out loud of course it’s all serious but the interactions of the detectives and their interactions with a book makes you think that it’s a really special series of books. They are not glory depressing etc. you’re in for a treat meeting Harry Graham and Aubrey Parsons is no rations just change the voices are very astonishing.

Another good book in the series

The author further develops characters doctors that have appeared in most of his previous novels. He also continues to develop , The setting as a one of the major characters. It brings to life everything theverything there there continues to be struggles with some differentiation of the different voices in the audio versions but it's difficult with all the different accents to achieve, not to mention the different genders. It's an enjoyable listen, With a good plot.

Just superb… again….

The DI Grimm series won me over from the very first line of the very first novel…. I feel invested in these characters and am so pleased to have found this author, this narrator and this series… The settings, the personalities and the storylines are intriguing and only build upon my devotion to them after each… I have relistened to each a few times over and just cherish them all. A narrator can make or break a audiobook for me (well-written or not) and Mr. Parsons does such an incredible job of bringing these characters to life…
Highly recommended
