Cheshire - Chester, Crewe, Knutsford, Macclesfield, Nantwich, Northwich, Runcorn, Warrington& Widnes First dated April 30, 2021; Restless Dead is the fifth book in the serialized DCI Harry Grimm. A Harry-led team is called in to investigate the seemingly supernatural-related death of former Colonel James Fletcher, aged 75, who dies shortly after claiming his wife—she died as he showed her how drive for the first time ever, in their Land Rover Discovery that crashed after a mysterious illumination—Helen’s ghost haunted his home. I never knew a cop crime novel or police procedural could be so entertaining! I love this audiobook, and I can’t wait to plunge into the next one. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who likes mysteries set in the English countryside. There is some violence and a few bloody details, but just enough to describe the situation (not too much). There is some swearing, but it feels natural for emphasis.

That this House calls on the Secretary of State for Transport to remove the huge white painted graffiti on the bridge over the M1 on the northbound carriageway just north of the M25 junction which reads – Its Grim Up North, or alternatively arrange to add the words, Gruesome in the Midlands, and Nowt but Homeless Folk in Cardboard Boxes in London, to restore a fair regional balance during the next election.As the first book, it naturally introduces the recurring cast, all of whom turn out to be pretty credible cops, considering Harry's expectations, and you have to wonder if the BBC might want to give this a look. After all, they've already got the sets built... The DCI Harry Grimm series’ author is Englishman David J. Gatward. A Somerset resident born in March 1973; David, who was an elementary school teacher by profession, has been the Managing Director of Kevin Mayhew Publishers since January 2017. Between April 2007 and August 2009; David worked for the UK government’s Ofsted department. This year marks the second visit to Bury for the Grimm Up North team who set up the festival last year in response to extraordinary circumstances faced by their friend Steve Grimmett (Grim Reaper) who was in urgent need of funds to raise thousands of pounds for life – saving surgery in South America. Harry is investigating the said murder—a snuff film—wherein the presumed suspect, the victim’s husband, Daryl vanishes before another murder report. Harry is juggling the homicide investigation with his own long-estranged father—who, decades earlier, killed Harry’s mother and apparently injured his imprisoned sibling Ben—who has since reached out and gives him an unwanted danger warning. Harry must also be wary because shortly thereafter, two males start watching his house.
Detective Chief Inspector Harry Grimm is forced to take leave from Bristol’s Major Investigations Team when his boss, tired of Harry chasing the ghost of his murderous father, sends him north on secondment.This seems like a harsh rate, but I treat one star as meaning 'Did not like', and being honest, I did not like it, though there was definitely something in the bones of it that did work for me. I loved the immediate connection that Jim and Grimm had. A proper double act name and a proper instant bromance. DCI Harry Grimm is a detective with a dark past who gets relocated from the city of Bristol to the quaint Yorkshire town of Hawes. This is a very common trope, and somewhat overused, but one that works well if the author can get the feeling of the Yorkshire village just right. In this case, the author lived in the town of Hawes for some years so he knows it very well. I once spent a weeks vacation nearby so have been there myself. It's kind of an iconic village so a great place to set a Yorkshire crime story. (Take a look on Google street view, it's an amazing place and you can find most of the places mentioned in the book.)
