About this listen
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.

Epic
Really, really enjoyed this book. Great depiction of the Yorkshire Dales. If you enjoy the DCI Logan series by JD Kirk then you will probably enjoy this.

Great book,, well read
This is a crime novel but has a warm atmospheric tone. Harry Grimm moves to the Yorkshire Dales from the big city and it’s a culture shock. He joins the local force with its range of characters to solve a murder in this sleepy town, learning as he goes. The narration is good and holds the listener. I enjoyed it enough to order the next in the series.

Eee by gum I loved this book!
As a Yorkshire lass myself I was drawn to this book but I didn't expect to enjoy the story, characters and the writers style quite as much as I did!! the narrator was absolutely brilliant and really brought the characters to life... I just may be addicted already!

Excellent
The two main characters in the story -Grimm and the landscape- are made to come alive. Enough is said of the other characters to make you speculate about their backstory and how they will interact with Grimm in the future. A really good listen. Looking forward to hearing more

From Bristol to the Dales
Really enjoyed this book, Grimm is a great character and I loved the humour within the story. Aubrey Parsons is a great narrator and his ability to change accents is superb. Look forward to listening to more of Grimms's adventures.

A new Detective to follow
A tale of a southerner being transplanted from busy Bristol to rural Yorkshire.
Lots of interesting quirks- cake with cheese stands out! ( or is that normal?)
Some cliches pop up but they add to the story.
I will definitely be looking for book 2!
