About this listen

A grisly death staged as an accident. Can a hard-nosed copper track a killer as elusive as a shadow?

North Yorkshire, England. Detective Chief Inspector Harry Grimm is reluctantly easing into life in the dales. As he gradually acclimatizes to the slower pace of the countryside while he awaits a return to the city, he’s called out to inspect a farmer’s crushed body. And despite the doctor on site declaring it a tragic mishap, the seasoned police officer rolls up his sleeves when evidence points to foul play.

Frustrated with the lack of witnesses and suspects, Grimm whips his easygoing team into action when a second corpse is found. And with a mysterious clue the only connection and the not-so-quiet village in self-imposed lockdown, the city-bred cop hunts for a link lethal enough to lead to murder….

Can he stop the picturesque countryside from becoming a blood-filled cemetery?

Best Served Cold is the riveting second book in the DCI Harry Grimm crime fiction series. If you like square pegs jammed into round holes, deeply textured plots, and lively local color, then you’ll love David J. Gatward's riveting puzzle.

Buy Best Served Cold to plow up the gruesome truth today!

GatwRd has written another corker. Harry Grimm of Wensleydale is rapidly becoming one of my new favourite detectives. Do yourself a favour and start the series. You won’t be able to stop

After completing book 2, I've grown an attachment to the characters and the story line kept me interested. I'm an avid DCI series fan and have listened to all that I can find, the Hwrry Grimm series is slowly becoming one of my favorite.

I'm hooked!

I was feeling a little lost after finishing KJ Rowlings’ Cormoran Strike series and was scrolling around looking for a substitute when I accidentally bought David J Gatward’s Grimm Up North - Harry Grimm book 1, thinking it was another. Once I stared to listen to it I was astonished at how similar Harry is to Cormoran, however I think I like this series more, so I am pleased there are 15 more to read. So far we’re misssing a little love and romance, but I suspect it’s on the horizon. I love the feisty Harry Grimm, I love the people he works with, I love the gorgeous Dales and I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the books.

Thrilled, love it, top notch British crime drama

Really love the characters and setting for these murder mysteries, they’re well written and entertaining, the characters are really developing well and the sense of community in the dales is beautifully portrayed. I’m getting very fond of everyone, Harry and Jim really stay with you. Wish they were a bit longer I’m listening to them too fast, or perhaps I should stop listening to them so much… but I do like them ☺️

Great new detective stories
