Perfect for you if...

  • You're a long-time reader of the DCI Harry Grimm series who enjoys watching a seasoned detective juggle personal upheaval with brutal casework.
  • You love procedural crime mysteries with solid teamwork and complex puzzles that unfold methodically across multiple locations.
  • You appreciate British crime fiction that balances dark murder investigations with the emotional weight of loss and change in the detective's personal life.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want a standalone mystery. This is book eighteen in an established series, and your investment pays off if you know these characters already.
  • You're after psychological mind games or unreliable narrators. This is straightforward investigative work, not twisty psychological thriller territory.
  • You prefer fast-paced page-turners. Gatward builds his cases methodically, which means slower readers might feel the two-country stretch pulls focus rather than tightens tension.

About this book

DCI Harry Grimm faces personal and professional upheaval. He is buying a house with his girlfriend but worries about his team following the death of a close friend and the departure of another colleague. When a suspected arson attack at a coffee warehouse uncovers a charred corpse, Grimm and his team must identify the victim, determine the motive for murder, and locate the missing warehouse owner and employees. The investigation expands when a second body connected to the case is discovered in Scotland, stretching resources across two countries. As the body count rises, Grimm must work to stop the killer before their deadly scheme claims more victims. Ashes of Betrayal is the eighteenth book in the DCI Harry Grimm Crime Thrillers series.
