DCI Harry Grimm is being sent North by his boss. Harry now feels his life will be spent handing out speeding tickets. When a local teen goes missing, Harry finds himself pulled into the investigation. The nicer the place, the darker the secrets. Wensleydale in North Yorkshire is beautiful. Everyone is friendly and welcoming and people don't get murdered...do they?

EadieB This is a mystery story with dry British humor. Harry has a serious facial disfigurement from being in the paratroopers. A well put together plot grew on me as I read. There was a surprise murder that I didn't see happening but made good sense in the end. I am now looking forward to the next book in the series. If you love humor with your mystery thrillers then you would like this book. 2y

Found this intriguing series today. It‘s amazing how many authors I‘ve never heard of. Happy to know I will not run out of books to read. Sad to know I‘ll never be able to read them all!

DivineDiana That‘s exactly how I feel! ❤️ 2y
