Summary

A grisly death staged as an accident. Can a hard-nosed copper track a killer as elusive as a shadow?

North Yorkshire, England. Detective Chief Inspector Harry Grimm is reluctantly easing into life in the dales. As he gradually acclimatizes to the slower pace of the countryside while he awaits a return to the city, he’s called out to inspect a farmer’s crushed body. And despite the doctor on site declaring it a tragic mishap, the seasoned police officer rolls up his sleeves when evidence points to foul play.

Frustrated with the lack of witnesses and suspects, Grimm whips his easygoing team into action when a second corpse is found. And with a mysterious clue the only connection and the not-so-quiet village in self-imposed lockdown, the city-bred cop hunts for a link lethal enough to lead to murder….

Can he stop the picturesque countryside from becoming a blood-filled cemetery?

Best Served Cold is the riveting second book in the DCI Harry Grimm crime fiction series. If you like square pegs jammed into round holes, deeply textured plots, and lively local color, then you’ll love David J. Gatward's riveting puzzle.

Buy Best Served Cold to plow up the gruesome truth today!

Enjoyable listen

I have listened to both Harry Grimm stories, and am so pleased I did. The narration is amazing, the stories are clever and funny. Really looking forward to the next one x

Another corker!

I'm loving this series! Born in Yorkshire, my family moved to Sussex when I was at primary school, so I was perfectly used to eating cheese with cake, and Mischief Night, and wearing wellies, and eating Yorkshire pudding with gravy for first course, then loads of seasonal vegetables with roast meat for mains and apple pie with cheese or rhubarb crumble for afters.

I can't wait for the next episode!

Nothing grim about Grimm

Harry Grimm just gets more engaging and enjoyable as his character develops.
A brilliant sequel to Grimm Up North this story resonates with dark revenge and light humour wonderfully blended together.
Totally hooked ! Bravo Dave! Keep em coming

DCI Grimm returns

Really enjoyed this. The author tells a good story with humour thrown in too. DCI Grimm is called in to investigate when the body of a local farmer is found. At first the police thought it was an accident and that the man had been run over by his own tractor, but suspicions arise and Grimm and his team begin their investigations.

Harry

I love Harry and his team, I have listened to the 1st two books in quick succession and am about to start the 3rd. As someone who moved from Bristol to the North, I really relate to the differences between the cultures 😆 can't wait to see what happens next.

Excellent second book in the series.

I'm absolutely loving this series. Lovable characters and an absorbing plot for this second book. As a northern girl, now living in the south of England, I have particularly enjoyed listening to the Grimm series on audible ...the fabulous northern accented narration, has really added to the experience for me and mentions of pint mugs of tea and cake with cheese bring back fond memories.
