Summary

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.

Good

This book was bit dark but still great read.. without going into any details it’s hard to believe that people like this exist still and yet I know they do but it’s the characters I love and their story I follow and David tells a great story

EXCELLENT

i have listened to the whole series and cannot wait for the next one. Have connected to all the characters and the story moves along really well. Not too gory and a nice touch of humour in there as well. Does not get bogged down with procedure and love the bond between the team. Will be waiting for the next.

Just keep getting better

I only started reading or listening to the Grimm books this year and I have loved all of them. It feels like the characters are people I know and I think I'd enjoy a piece of cheese and cake with the team.
They just keep getting better and better. This one had some quite dark themes as you will see from other reviews but don't let that put you off. Looking forward to the next one already 😀
