Summary

A murderous puzzle.

A compromised crime scene.

One DCI whose determination to nail the killer could cost him his life....

Detective Harry Grimm can’t catch a break. When his much-needed vacation is interrupted by a call reporting a decomposed corpse, he races home to examine the gruesome remains. Learning the young woman was tortured, he’s stunned when the peaceful countryside site explodes, destroying evidence and causing more death.

Uncovering clues from the victim’s car, Grimm struggles to keep up with a cunning killer when he discovers yet another body. But when the seasoned DCI examines the grisly murder and compares forensics, he’s alarmed when the patterns match those of a brutal drug dealer he put behind bars years back.

Can this hardened cop nab a wily crook before his own blood stains the picturesque dales?

One Bad Turn is the ninth book in the gripping Harry Grimm police procedural series. If you like high-stakes drama, wounded heroes, and unexpected twists, then you’ll love David J. Gatward’s thrilling cat-and-mouse chase.

Love love love Harry and co

David J Gatward just keeps delivering with each and every one of these books. I loved the way it incorporated Harry’s past so we got to learn a little more about what he did before moving to Hawes. As usual Aubrey does a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life each and every one of them. Each book tops the last for me and I wait with excited anticipation for the next in the series. 5*

Great Listen

Excellent storytelling. Well drawn characters who I now care about (I do know it’s fiction) and others I intensely dislike. Another cracking performance from Aubrey Parsons. Champion.

Fantastic

I love everything about this series. I love the narrator and the storylines and the way the Dales are bought to life. Hope Mr Gatwood continues to write and at a ‘pace’. I would say, however, that it took a while to get into the series but stick with it if you have only just found the wonderful DCI Grimm.

When is book 10?

Having had a binge listen (is that a thing?) I cannot express just how much I have enjoyed listening to ALL nine books. I have laughed and I have had tears all through the nine books. The humour is just right. I sincerely hope this series runs for a little while longer.

Love these books, my favourite on audible. But if anything happens to Smudge or Fly I will stop listening.

This story starts with a bang and remains suspenseful to the very end. I would highly recommend.

Another Grimm Tale

Thoroughly enjoying these DCI Grimm stories. Brilliant thriller kept my attention throughout, edge of the seat stuff.
Grimm has a decision to make, and I hope its the right one. I can't wait for the next book.
Reccomended.

Wonderful Harry Grimm series

I can scarcely remember being drawn into such great characters and descriptions of landscape.
An amazing cross between James Herriot and
Violent crime. The reader is the best I ever heard
