About this listen

A tragic farm accident…or so it seems. Can this former big-city detective defeat the human monsters lurking in the Yorkshire Dales?

DCI Harry Grimm’s happy emotions are confusing the hell out of him. Enjoying the company of his new girlfriend and furry black dog, the usually gruff detective finds himself feeling genuinely content for the first time in a very long while. But it’s soon back to business as usual when the idyllic countryside is rocked by the demise of a popular farmer in a horrific hay-baler accident.

After the coroner rules the mangled remains a homicide, Grimm sends his team out to follow clues that provoke more questions than answers. And as his officers drop like flies, the victim’s adopted son vanishes, and suspicious threats emerge, the justice-driven investigator vows he’ll restore peace and slam another killer behind bars.

Can he shed light on the darkest of sins before more lives are lost in the hills?

Cold Sanctuary is the spellbinding eighth book in the DCI Harry Grimm Crime Thrillers series. If you like compelling police procedurals, gripping themes, and grab-you-by-the-seat suspense, then you’ll love David J. Gatward’s hard-hitting mystery.

Another cliff hanger with great twists and turns. Some dark moments but a cuppa always seems to put things right

A must to listen to

Book 8 was as good as books 1-7 which is why I enjoyed it so much I guess.
I’m from “up north” and have family members living in the Dales in the area these books have been written. I’m getting to know the area well. Thankfully I haven’t come across any incidents such as these!
I’ll be moving on to book 9 shortly, can’t wait. I have a few more in the series to look forward to, bliss!!

Another great story
