Who is David J. Gatward?

A recurring detective is a particular kind of commitment. David J. Gatward writes to the rhythm of the DCI Harry Grimm crime thrillers, a form where the pleasure is cumulative: the same investigator, the same working relationships, a new body, and a reader who returns partly for the case and largely for the company.

The register our catalogue supports is the procedural rather than the psychological thriller. Left for Dead sits on the crime and thriller shelf and runs to a working seven hours, the length of a book built to be got through in a couple of sittings rather than laboured over across a month.

Left for Dead is read by Aubrey Parsons and counts among the newer arrivals on this page. Verdicts are only beginning to come in, so while the early marks are high there are far too few of them to lean on with any confidence.

Series like this one reward a decision made early. Either start at the beginning of the Grimm run and let the relationships build, or treat any single case as a self-contained evening. Both approaches work, and a seven-hour length makes the second unusually easy.
