Publisher's 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.

Ok I guess

This series is rather chauvinistic still I guess it’s a series written a while ago.
Although saying that I do rather like Mr Grimm

Least favourite in the series

I did not like this one. Lots of violence (even for a murder mystery) and I wasn't invested in the characters or outcome. Harry's gruffness just annoyed me.

Book 9

I really enjoy Harry Grimm, and all of the characters in this series, I think a little restraint is needed regarding the rambling’s, they seemed extremely longer in this book.
I’m still looking forward to book 10 though and seriously hope that Harry will remain in Wensleydale.

Riveting and Suspenseful

From the first words until the end this is another great piece of work from Mr Gatward.
The story is intricate, with unexpected turns that leave you unable to guess the end.
As an audiobook it found me driving the long way round, and longer hours and miles than it should have been, but I couldn’t bare the thought of turning it off.
The depth of layers that are being developed with the characters has you caring for them, and anxious should anything happen to them.
Aubrey’s reading of this was superb and brings everyone to life to the point where I wish I were able to meet them and share some cheese and cake, and listen to Harry talk for hours.

Thank you Mr Gatward for such a brilliant experience shared with Grimm.
