About this listen

Picturesque hills stained with blood. An MO like no other. Can this senior officer draw on his paratrooper past to catch a twisted mind?

DCI Harry Grimm is still grappling with the Yorkshire Dales custom of eating cheese with cake. But the seasoned big-city cop has more than enough experience getting pulled out of bed in the middle of the night for the grisliest crimes. So the gruesome early-hour discovery of a woman’s savaged remains on the bleakly beautiful terrain has the detective keen to slam an ugly killer behind bars….

With both a clear motive and an obvious offender firmly in his sights, the dedicated policeman hunts relentlessly for the killer. But when the prime suspect goes missing and Grimm reworks the scene, he fears he sees signs of meticulous military planning and a culprit with a long list of victims.

Can the tough investigator get into the head of a murderer before he’s called to the next kill zone?

Corpse Road is the mesmerizing third book in the DCI Harry Grimm crime fiction series. If you like razor-sharp cops, insanely bent villains, and dark, gripping plots, then you’ll love David J. Gatward’s wild ride through the moors.

Harry Grimm is back. He's still in Wensleydale and the area is beginning to grow on him, though I'm not sure he'll ever eat cheese with his cake! In this book he is investigating the case of a woman who is found dead whilst camping near the old Corpse Road. The story is original and well written with plenty of twists and I love the dark humour which runs through it. The descriptions of the area (which I do know a little) make you want to be there, and the characters are all developing well. I loved the addition of Fly, the young sheepdog, in this book.

Excellent narration by Aubrey Parsons made this a great listen!

Wonderful

Enjoyed this book, whilst murder is involved in the Dales, Grimm makes me smile. Narration is good shifting from one accent to another seamlessly. Would recommend.

Am loving the development of the characters in this series. However, I find the the portrayal of DCI Grimm to shouty and overbearing at times. The people around him are trying to help him adjust to the quieter pace of life in Yorkshire but all he seems to do is shout at them. Hopefully this will change in time.

Great characters

I'm enjoying this series but two small niggles - in all three so far, there's chronic overuse of the phrase "not exactly" - a little variation wouldn't go amiss ("not really", "not particularly" or even miss it out all together since, as a writing device, it starts to lose its impact after a while). Secondly, in this particular audiobook, there are a few sections where the editor hasn't picked up on errors, for example the part where Jayden speaks to a witness at Richmond but is referred to as Darryl (a suspect) instead of Jayden (a police officer) throughout most of the interview. But on the whole, very enjoyable and I will still listen to the others in the series.

mostly very good
