Summary
A gruesome tradition, a blood-spattered crime scene, and a killer hiding in plain sight.
Detective Harry Grimm is a worried man. When a group of vigilante locals start patrolling the Dales in response to a recent spate of crimes, he is forced to warn them off. Things only get more complicated when he is called out to multiple crime scenes—each with plenty of blood but no bodies.
Very soon, though, body parts start turning up. Delivered in a way that echoes a local poem and an old-but-grisly village ceremony. Faced with the bloody evidence in front of him, Grimm soon realizes that his worst fears have come true: someone has already taken the law into their own hands.
With an ancient tradition being used to commit modern-day murder, can this battle-scarred detective stop the lanes of the Dales running red with blood?
Blood Trail is the tenth book in the riveting Harry Grimm police procedural series. If you like compelling characters, twisting plots, and beautiful British countryside settings, then you’ll love David J. Gatward’s nail-biting mystery.
Blood Trail is the tenth book in the DCI Harry Grimm crime thriller series, set in the Yorkshire Dales. Perfect for fans of L. J. Ross, J. D. Kirk, Adam Croft, Simon McCleave, Alex Smith, J. M. Dalgliesh, J. E. Mayhew, and J. R. Ellis.

Another fantastic book..
Another fantastic book to take you deep into the Wensleydale life. Hooked from the first book, the details are brilliant.
Absolutely love Grimm and the team. I feel like they're a group of friends I've worked with for years.

Well....
I'll preface by saying there is *something* about this series as I've spent credit after credit following it and it is enjoyable but it just gets very sloppy in places. Unlike JD Kirk who is just as prolific and still maintains impeccably tight plotting and characterizations this author does not. The narration is good but...sloppy on occasion. The editing is nowhere near as tight at Angus King's performances (think repeated paragraphs and sentences left in, overly long breaks and, on one memorable occasion, a character was sitting in his murdered friend's parent's house and went upstairs to apparently search his own bedroom for clues. Overly long monologues, relentless stressing of the main characters physical features and people's reactions to it (wholly unbelievable for the most part by any remotely civilized standards and clearly just for effect within the narrative) and the lazy, lazy, LAZY info dumps or, again unbelievably, a junior officer thinking he had something vital to crack the case and then refusing to share this information with his senior officer. Withholding information in a brutal murder case because he wasn't ready to share it?! No, just no. There's dramatic license for the sake of the plot and then there's bad writing and shocking failure to acknowledge even the most basic of expected police procedure. The habit all of the main characters have of relentlessly asking each other the same questions time and again through the books and on a few occasions their utter shock at information being given to them despite that very same information being given just a few chapters before. In all but one of the books the perpetrator may as well be wearing a flashing light above them saying 'I did it! It was me!" they're so well telegraphed and...you still keep listening. The books *are* charming, filled with mostly likeable characters and are definitely a series I'm going to keep coming back to along with Osman and Kirk for my 'comfort' listens there's just some work to do to get them to DCI Logan or Hoon's consistently high standards. Despite all of the above I really did enjoy the series but I'm just not blind to its flaws. I am however living in hope that Grimm, Logan and Kett are brought together at some point by their creators and a crossover is created now that the separate authors have tipped the wink to them all existing in the same universe. I'm also keeping everything crossed that Grace the gamekeeper is phased out and Sowerby phased in as even in the first book she was much more multi faceted and interesting as a character and more 'screen time' would be amazing.

The poorest in the series by far…
I’m a big fan of Gatland and Grimm - and I spent many days in the Dales with my family in my youth; much as the author - but this is a poor story; lots of plot holes tied up up at the end by an implausible conclusion. Come on, David, you can do so much better!Only saved by the narration…..
