I have to say I was becoming increasingly fond of Harry and Jim who seems to have become Harry's right hand man over a very short time. The settings are beautifully described by the author, visualisation taking its place in your head even to speeding down winding steep narrow roads, and that feeling of the need to hold on tight and close your eyes as your heart rate rises rapidly to the sound of screeching tyres.
Another thing that I liked about the book was the author's description of the Yorkshire Dales, a beautiful place. I kept seeing images of scenery from the television series "All Creatures Great and Small" and that was not an unpleasant thing.

A re-recorded version with Bill Drummond on vocals was released commercially in October 1991. These recordings were the first releases by Drummond and his creative partner Jimmy Cauty under the JAMs moniker since the 1988 compilation album Shag Times, and the last under that name; in the meantime they had operated as the Timelords and the KLF.

Grimm Up North is book one in the DCI Harry Grimm series by David J. Gatward. Detective Chief Inspector Harry Grimm was unhappy on the way to Wensleydale, in Yorkshire, due to a directive from his Bristol Major Investigations Team boss. However, on his first day in Wensleydale, his car broke down, and he caught his first case of a missing teenager. At first, the young girl ran away from home until the murder near a remote lake. The readers of Grimm Up North will continue to follow Detective Chief Inspector Harry Grimm to discover what happens. I loved the immediate connection that Jim and Grimm had. A proper double act name and a proper instant bromance.
Customer reviews
The characters, neatly woven into the narrative, possess a depth that adds authenticity to their little town. Gatward touches on exploring their vulnerabilities and strengths, forging opening connections that resonate with readers on a basic level. The dynamics between Grimm & the ‘Dales characters are enjoyable, especially that of his new DSI Swift. A Map Of Every Place Mentioned In "It's Grim Up North" ". BuzzFeed. 4 June 2013 .

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.)

It's a Yorkshire thing as DCI Harry Grimm finds out when he is seconded to Hawes in Wensleydale (All Creatures Great and Small country) from Bristol.I have to admit I struggled with the first few chapters of this book, it really didn't grab my attention though something told me to carry on reading it, it could get better.
