I Love Harry & Co.

I cannot express how wonderful a series this is. I’ve probably read or listened to each book at least 3 times! I love the characters and how they have all melded Since Grimm went up North. I have laughed and cried and enjoyed listening to Aubrey Parsons narrate & act out each one . I live to read the next one. This was a wonderful story and kept my attention to the very end ! I can’t wait to read the 4 of Hearts! Mr Gatward please keep Harry and his family and friends going and growing along the Fells. Read the spin off series as well ! A visit with Gordie is wonderful! You won’t be sorry ! I guarantee it !

Great story. Very well written as always but....

Loved the story, as usual and Aubrey Parsons does it justice by his reading of the novel. What I don't like is the continual theme of using novellas instead of books. I guess what I'm really upset about is that the novellas are worth almost as much as the books are and the last one was only 4 hours. Mr. Gatward is a great writer and this is a fantastic storyline that's been running for many books and I hope many more. I like many others, can't wait to visit the dales to see where these books are set. I guess in my mind why not put the novella as part of the book that it follows. Rather than make us the loyal readers have to purchase another book? Or should I say a half a book. I understand the monetary concept but what I don't understand is why after all the books in the series that most of us have purchased and read, that we are now getting a book, a half book, a book, a half book etc in the series. Why not just make the last two books the extra 4 hours long, which most of us would gladly pay an extra couple of bucks for rather than this crumb system. Just my two cents. sorry

Enjoy the storyline very much

I find these books intriguing and entertaining. The Grim character has depth and charm as well as all the other characters who are part of the story. Can’t wait till the next one. Oh, and the narrator is perfect, he makes it all come alive.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Still Exciting

With internal dialogue like “black paint flakes falling to the ground like confetti” how can this book not be terrific. Each character has a purpose, a story, a place. Each place has a story, a character and a purpose. Each sentence weaves together a tapestry that becomes the beautiful picture that unfolds into an exceptional novel. And this excellent writing is expressed by a talented narrator that brings each character to life. I couldn’t imagine listening to DCI Grimm in any other voice other than Aubrey Parsons.

Harry’s a Softie

DCI Harry Grimm is absolutely one of my favorite series. By now I feel like I know every character intimately. This one didn’t disappoint in the least and now I’m can’t wait for the next one.
