A DCI Harry Grimm Special Novella

When Harry and Grace decide to marry in a quiet joint ceremony with Ben and Liz, they expect little more than to sign the register and share a bottle of champagne. But in Hawes, nothing important stays small for long.

A stag do is arranged. Bunting is strung. The Fountain insists on catering properly. A restored Series 1 Land Rover is brought out of hiding. And somehow, a shire horse named Harry becomes part of the plan.

For once, Grimm isn’t standing apart from the celebration; choosing family, community, and the life he’s built.

But even a day that promises joy carries its risks. A message arrives. Quiet. Deliberate. A reminder that someone from Harry’s past hasn’t forgotten him—or what this day means.

Under the wide skies of the Yorkshire Dales, four hearts stand together.

Warm, heartfelt and quietly tense, Four of Hearts is a powerful DCI Harry Grimm novella about belonging, loyalty, and choosing joy when fear would be easier.

Perfect for fans of British crime fiction and character-driven rural mysteries.

Any time I link in with Harry and his team I feel like I’m reconnecting with old friends.

Expertly brought to life by Aubrey Parsons who never fails to delight me.

Having spent some time in Hawes and stayed at The Fountain, I can attest to the wonderful atmosphere, food and welcome.

Just the right mixture of peril and romance and exactly what the doctor ordered.

Old friends

This was just absolute perfection. David has a knack of bringing out as many emotions as you can think of in his books and this one is no different. I was crying by the end. Absolutely brilliant.
