Silent Ruin

DCI Harry Grimm Crime Thrillers, Book 14

De: David J. Gatward

Narrado por: Aubrey Parsons

A vanished couple. A disoriented treasure hunter. A body with suspicious injuries.

Harry Grimm is starting to feel like a local–almost. But when his quiet happiness is interrupted by a confused 80-year-old detectorist claiming to have seen Medieval knights fighting in a nearby ruined castle, the chief inspector is forced to investigate the bizarre claims. However, his focus is soon split to a second case when a teen and her boyfriend disappear without a trace.

As the unflappable DCI spearheads the search for the young lovers, he and his team confront conflicting witnesses, spiraling hostilities, and enraged families pointing accusing fingers. And with the aging detectorist continuing to cause disturbances around the village, Grimm takes his muddled statements more seriously after the discovery of a brutally battered corpse.

Can this gruff detective follow the cryptic clues to a killer?

Silent Ruin is the dramatic 14th book in the DCI Harry Grimm Crime Thrillers series. If you like beloved casts of characters, dark mysteries, and rising tension, then you’ll adore David J. Gatward’s transfixing whodunit.

Always a good story

Can’t wait for the next one! Always a good listen! Worth listening to the whole series.

Was it Ghosts, or Something Else?

A castle in the dark, figures of knights in armor fighting inside, and a witness who had a bump on the head leads to the main question: was it ghosts or something else?

Narration by Aubrey Parsons is spot on.

Keep the Grimm story going

Have enjoyed every one in this series. Can almost smell the heather and wish for a pie from Cockett’s.

Enjoyed the characters

The dynamic between characters was fun and interesting. I had trouble near the end hanging with it and wasn't overly fulfilled with the ending, but overall enjoyable listen.

I love Harry and his cohorts!

I have read and listened to these books each at least 2-3 times ! Love the narrator ! Can’t wait for the next book!!

Another Fantastic Grimm

I thoroughly enjoy the Grimm series! This book was fantastic and I read it too quickly! The setting, the characters, the storyline are enjoyable and there is always that unexpected twist! Aubrey Parsons brings Grimm to life, I love listening to him!

Good

Started late in the series but still a good stand alone. Would read more of this series

Not a Focused Story

This is my first Det. Grimm story and I found that too much time was spent on rambling conversations that didn’t have much to do with anything. The ending wasn’t really a conclusion because there was no real ‚why’ regarding the murder and kidnapping. On the plus side, there’s no crude language in the book and that’s a plus these days.

I have just inhaled them!

I don't know how this author can write as fast as he does, as well as he does--but I'm glad! When we have to wait years for installments, it can be frustrating. This series is expanding rapidly--AND--just plain fun! It's an homage to Yorkshire--what could be better than that? I love the mysteries, I love the characters, I love the food, I love the scenery, I love the dogs! This series is one of those times that when you say "It's all good," it actually is!

Did not get hooked

Maybe I should not start this series with the 14th book, but it didn’t really grab me and make me want more. Very middle of the road. A bit charming a bit serious. Not a lot of anything.
