DCI Harry Grimm has been seconded from a bustling city to a remote village in the Yorkshire Dales after he almost botched an investigation because of a personal obsession with finding his missing father. Once there, he is disappointed to see that the most significant crime is sheep rustling. When a local teen goes missing, he suspects human trafficking, and his interest is piqued. When a murder occurs, Harry understands terrible things can happen in even the most idyllic surroundings.
I like the setting, the author's description of the countryside, and the peculiarities of the locals. The book moved along, and I liked Harry the more I got to know him. He is a protagonist with a dark past that haunts him. It is a good mix of interesting characters and an unusual setting.
3.5 stars.
