About this listen

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.

Having had a binge listen (is that a thing?) I cannot express just how much I have enjoyed listening to ALL nine books. I have laughed and I have had tears all through the nine books. The humour is just right. I sincerely hope this series runs for a little while longer.

When is book 10?

Another gripping listen.

This series never fails to disappoint- probably the best yet tying in Harry’s past with the present.

Yet another brilliant book by David J. Gatward. A perfect blend of tough violent action and comforting homely scenes of cake and cheese. And a refreshing change to have detectives who enjoy a mug of tea and not a pretentious cardboard cup of caffeine loaded, overpriced coffee, so heavily mentioned in most detective novels.
Aubrey Parsons, my favourite narrator, does a wonderful job of being the grumpy but lovable Harry Grimm, not to mention all the other varied characters. Well done Aubs!

Excellent
