DI Haig Crime Thrillers #1
The Somerset Slayings
A fresh start filled with ghosts and heartache. Can she face her own demons and stop a malevolent murderer?
Somerset, England. DI Gordy Haig is drowning in grief. Devastated and heartbroken, the dedicated Scot questions her decision to transfer and take on a new role in a town full of strangers. And just as she's tempted to give up, a body is found gruesomely displayed in the ruins of a castle.
Digging into the grisly crime, while still living out of a suitcase, the tenacious investigator puzzles over the staged homicide and its apparent mirroring of a death scene from a horror movie. As she battles with nightmares and little sleep, and struggles to focus on the day job, a second body is found - once again mirroring another grotesque cinematic murder.
As the clues reveal a link to an unfinished horror movie, can Gordy roll the credits on a mystery steeped in history and deceit?
The Somerset Slayings is the gripping first book in the DI Haig Crime Thrillers series. If you like wounded but dogged heroines, twisted tales of retribution, and the past returning with a vengeance, then you'll love David J. Gatward's heart-stopping procedural.

Another thrilling page turner
I came to this via David's DCI Harry Grimm series so already knew Gordy. I cried at her heartbreak, laughed as she got to know her new team and was intrigued through the investigation. As always, the fabulous blend of David's attention to detail, well structured storyline, brilliant characterisation and humour has made it difficult to put down. Loved every bit of it!

Gordy Haig has left the Dales. She's left her team and boss/mentor/friend DCI Harry Grimm to embark on a new path. However she was supposed to make this move with her partner but unfortunately, life and the universe had other plans and Gordy lost her partner, but still chose to make the move to Somerset.
For anyone just starting out in the Grimm-universe, this first novel in a new series might not have the same effect for those of us who have been along on the full journey. The level of emotion, the heartbreak, it was all there on the page.
I'm looking forward to getting to know Gordy's team and see her become the leader we've had glimpses of in the Grimm novels.
As far as the crime went, I figured out who did it about halfway or 2/3's through, but that's ok. The crime aspect felt second string this time, and Gordy's personal struggles were the larger storyline. Or at least that's how it felt to me. Loved seeing a character we met a few times in the original series pop in. Think he might be a reoccurring guest star.
I'm an Audible user and I love and adore Aubrey Parsons reading but with Gordy being a woman, a new reader was more appropriate. Ruth Urquhart has done a great job.
Occasionally, lines were delivered in a less Gordy-like way, but I think it’s ok because she’s not actually herself right now. I’d say it’s kind of brilliant on David J Gatward’s part that he created this spin off right at a turbulent time in her life, where one would definitely not be acting their true self, to actually help the audio listener adjust to a new Gordy via Ms. Urquhart.

As the first outing I enjoyed this book. I hope for more of the investigation in the next installment, but I understand that the murders were secondary in this first outing as the characters needed to be set up which I think was well done. I look forward to learning more about the team and seeing Gordy’s friendship with Cowboy grow in the same way a relationship grew between Sowerby and Grimm. It felt like a similar dynamic…instant dislike followed by the start of an understanding that will no doubt become respect and an interesting friendship.

A Wonderful start to this new series.
David, what a smashing start to DI Haig's series. I would imagine introducing a character from her familiar settings with the great DCI Grimm is always a bit of a gamble. This was beautifully written acknowledging Haig's bereavement whilst taking on a new demanding job far away out of her comfort zone. Lovely to have Grimm and her old teammates up in the Dales mentioned. A fabulous story with an unexpected ending.
I very much look forward to book 2. Thank you David, Barbara Sheffield.

The Somerset Slayings by David Gatward is the first in a new series with DI Haig as the main lead, rather than DCI Harry Grimm. The storyline was excellent and the introduction of the new police team that DI Haig will be working with sets the scene for more books in this new series.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I am looking forward to reading more in this new series, as well as the DCI Harry Grimm police series.
The new series has a new police team with their own personalities and stories and I am looking forward to finding out more about them in future stories.
Highly recommended

Great start to a new series. Really impressed with the way the emotions are expressed and not hidden too. Looking forward to more to come.
Cheeky little writer’s cameo too!

In my opinion this is not in the same league as the DCI Grim series even though it is by the same author and a flow on series. I guess the main character may grow on the reader but in this book she isn't portrayed that well. It's not that she is in emotional turmoil, that's part of the story, it is more basic than that. Not consistent in manner or speech, clumsy in procedure and what's with the falling down bits, several times? Just something not right in how she is presented. The story itself is OK, a bit abstract, saw the end coming as it's a build up to the new series. Could only rate it as 3 stars and that's a bit generous. Not sure I'll persist with book two, at least not immediately.

Somerset, England. DI Gordy Haig is drowning in grief. Devastated and heartbroken, the dedicated Scot questions her decision to transfer and take on a new role in a town full of strangers. And just as she's tempted to give up, a body is found gruesomely displayed in the ruins of a castle.
I've always loved David J Gatward's DCI Grimm series so was looking forward to this off shoot from that series with much anticipation. I did sort of enjoy it but there didn't seem to be much police procedural in it. Nothing much had happened apart from the murders at 3/4 of the way through the book and then the ending seemed a little far too fetched for my liking. I can also sympathise with Gordy at her bereavement of Anna but it seemed to overwhelm the story for me. Maybe this move to Somerset was too quick for her to make?
I'll get the next book though as hopefully the storyline will have moved on from the excess emotion.

DNF, but i listened to enough to do a review. I got to 60% and didn’t want to persevere.
I hated the first chapter, but went on as I’d bought the audiobook. The never ending angst and grieving of the main character overshadowed the story, which was actually good.
The costume and character of the head of scene of crime, was ludicrous and just too over the top.

Much grislier than the Grimm books, but so good! Maybe my favourite by this author.

I must say I was so disappointed by this book. I love the Harry Grimm series and was expecting a similar experience.
I live in this area and so was really looking forward to reading the first book. There were lovely descriptions of the area but the storyline was dreadful. The number of times I nearly gave up, but kept thinking it had to get better, it didn’t!
I know how unhappy people are after their partner dies but this was ridiculous, I felt like curling up and dying myself!
I do hope if Mr Gatward writes another book about this area, he will give it a good plot and get over the misery! I really look forward to one of his interesting, well written books.

Everyone goes through grief sometime in their lives and we all deal with it differently. Detective Gordy Haig's grief of losing her partner Ann just months before makes the move to her new job just that much more difficult. So when two murders of the locals are discovered bizarrely staged, it keeps her busy. In the end, she finds the murderer and finds the strength to start healing.
I enjoy books with strong female characters and this one fits the bill just right. The story was filled with twists and turns that kept the plot going and me guessing who the suspect was. Also, the new characters were both unique and entertaining.
PSCO Vivek the receptionist baked a Lardy Cake, makes great coffee, and is a very kind man,
The main ingredients are freshly rendered lard, flour, sugar, spices, currants and raisins. Lardy cake is a traditional English tea bread popular in country areas in England. It is made from plain bread dough enriched with sticky sweet lard and sugar as well as dried fruit and mixed spices. The dough is rolled and folded several times, in a similar way to puff pastry, which gives a layered texture.

very weird mystery
The frame of this story is just fine. A very typical regional British police procedural, not the highest quality but it meets the need.
But the mystery itself is just weird and annoying and doesn’t make any sense.
Skip this one.

I really like the DCI Harry Grimm series, but this spin-off turned out to be a huge letdown. This is mainly due to how the main character DI Gordy Haig is written. She barely feels like the Gordy we know from the main series, where she used to be Harry's more compassionate, less grumpy but nonetheless confident counterpart.
Here, her whole behaviour can be best described as erratic. And while this can partly be explained by Gordy still dealing with the grief over her lover Anna's death a couple of months ago, more often than not it feels like David J. Gatward just didn't really have a plan for how to present her as a full main character and is just trying things out to see what sticks. Hence, she goes from humorous and relaxed to grumpy to deeply distraught, the latter being her main mode of operation here.
I get that the author really wanted to stress the deep impact Anna's death had on Gordy, but I think he overshoots the mark by quite a bit. It also doesn't help that Gatward's answer to Gordy's state of mind is barroom philosophy that wildly understates the complexity of depression.
More importantly though, the main plot is completely overshadowed by Gordy's grief, her repeated breakdowns and her ruminations on how to go on, which makes for a very unsatisfying reading experience as far as crime thrillers go. Plus, the murder case itself isn't that engaging to begin with and mainly plays out on autopilot during the last couple of chapters, without there having been much investigating to speak off. In fact, Gatward seems to have so little interest in spinning a compelling murder mystery that he
On the plus side, there are a couple of endearing new side characters, like constable Vivek, who is responsible for the inevitable culinary delights Gatward's books tend to be filled with and the slightly weird but actually quite likable crime scene investigator Cowboy. Sadly, the rest of Gordy's new team stays a bit bland for now and by the end of the book, they all kinda blended together because they weren't really introduced that well.
So, all in all a rather disappointing read that took me way too long to finish for being such a short book. The author not only repeats some of the misstakes I thought he had ironed out over the 20 Harry Grimm novels he released within a couple of years, the balance between delving into Gordy's troubled state of mind and actually telling a compelling murder mystery is also wildly uneven. Let's hope that David J. Gatward finds his groove with this series in the next novel, otherwise I think I'll just stay with the main series.

What a disappointment ! This was not a good read for me. The plot was not believable and it was too easy to figure out the identity of the murderer. Overall, the book was way too dark for my enjoyment , and the grief expressed by Gordy was way over the top. She was not even a good cop and made way too many basic mistakes during the investigation.She was also not very likable. I have read all the Harry books and enjoyed most of them .I recall that I did not like Harry after completing book 1, and nearly stopped there. I am glad that I continued. The only reason I gave this book a 3 and not a 2 is that I plan to read the second book in the series. Hopefully, Gordy will grow on me in a similar manner as Harry.

This is a brilliant new series from David Gatward. Gordy Haig has moved to Frome to try and escape her memories in Wensleydale, the first part of the book very much deals with her grief at the loss of her life partner and is very well written as is the rest of the book. If you are familiar with Davids other Series set in Wensleydale it would help as there are references to people and places there but this would stand up well as a stand alone in it's own right. Highly recommended listen. Ruth Urquhart does a wonderful job of the narration although I did struggle a little at first but once you get used to her soft Scottish accent she is brilliant.

Murder and Cider with Gordy
The first episode in a new way of life for DI Gordy Haig after she bids farewell to Hawes and moves down to Somerset without her beloved Anna.
Despite a heart and mind full of grief, Gordy is launched straight into a bizarre murder and that is only the first. Battling emotion and with a brand new team of characters, Gordy pushes forward until a very unexpected final denouement.
It was good to still acknowledge the ties to Grimm and the Hawes team but there was also a different feel to the direction of this new series and I very much look forward to reading more.

I was not expecting that!
Gordy, still reeling from Anna’s death, moves away from all that is familiar to take up the new position she had applied for before Anna died. She is clearly not in a good place emotionally and is barely able to make it through the basic daily actions. Thrust immediately into a bizarre murder, Gordy has to balance her new responsibilities and her intractable grief. While I did have an inkling of who the killer was I definitely didn’t guess the motive! Another excellent story from David J. Gatward.

After finishing all of the current DCI Grimm books, I jumped into the first of the DI Haig series via audiobook. Gordy is great, the story is excellent - but the narrator is shockingly bad and it was really distracting.
The accent she does for Gordy is all over the place. A character who is from the Highlands of Scotland, but skips between some kind of Scottish-Welsh-Asian mashup.
I'm still giving 5 stars, because whilst I struggled due to the awful narration - the story was brilliant (as is everything by Gatward).

Solid series opener
Looking forward to following D.C. Goody Haig's life/career and her new team (and old acquaintances) solve mysteries in Somerset. A solid series opening book. I guessed the murderer fairly earl on (or thought them to be the most likely) though wavered until it became very clear. The full backstory I did not anticipate so that was interesting. Appreciated the portrayal of Gordy's. struggles and adjustments.

Two series! Double the complete and absolute reading pleasure. Gordy and a couple of folks we met through Harry Grimm are leading this series along with a whole new host of wonderful characters to spend time with. As with the Grimm series, the mysteries are dark but yet the story is cozy and delightful. And we are going to learn about a whole new region's quirks and comfort foods. Of course I pre-ordered the upcoming stories. You can't go wrong with anything written by Mr. Gatward!!!!!
October 20, 2024
I thoroughly enjoyed this, the start to a new series. Gordy has moved to Somerset from the Dales. She was meant to move with Anna, her partner, but that was not meant to be. She is not sure she has done the right thing, and her emotions are all over the place, grief at the top. Her first day on duty and she is handed a gruesome murder. I like the characters of those on her team, not so much the DCI. I look forward to the next in the series.

another fraught detective tormented by memories
This time we know her to start with. The murder mystery is inconsequential. The big mystery is how our heroine deals with the cards she is dealt. She has different demons than Harry Grimm, but they are demons all the same. And they manage to obscure the crime for a while but eventually Gordy looks past them to see the solution staring her in the face.

A Cracking Good Read
I have always liked the character of Gordanian Haig in the Grimm series so I am glad to see her shine in her own story. Gordy, heartbroken and devastated, has barely settled in her new Somerset home when she is called to a grisly murder. With a new team to lead in unfamiliar territory, Gordy must overcome her grief and call on all her skills to investigate slayings rooted in the past. Well done David Gatward- another success story. 🇨🇦

Spectacular New Series!
This new series from David Gatward is spectacular! You can really feel what DI Haig is dealing with as she is grieving and yet starting a new chapter in her life. She is smart, strong and braver than she knows.
The twist of the killer was crazy! I didn’t catch on until they were in the car lol. There were clues but I was so taken by Gordy and her grief I missed them! This is going to be a fantastic series!

Where to even start. Sub plots that are teased constantly but never explained, might seem clever, but they’re not if it’s just a constant hook for a series, it sets the scene for predictability that you’ll never actuallly find out and it becomes tedious cramming the entire reveal in, in the last bit of the book when the ground work hasn’t been laid for it it, and it becoming really obvious what’s going on there wasn’t much point reading the last part of the book. 100% cliched

Gordy moves to Somerset to start a new life and a new job following the death of her partner. This follows a gruesome murder and follows Gordy in her new role. Gripping from start to finish and I look forward to reading future books in the series. I did guess who did it but this did not spoil the story. Highly recommended. I was so gripped I read it in one sitting - pulled an all nighter.

Great story
It's fun when a spin off series is just as engaging as the original. I never felt like I got to know Gordy very well in the DCI Grimm series. She always seemed a bit off on the sidelines, essential but a bit remote. Now we get to heart her voice and its not quite what I expected, but interesting just the same. In looking forward to more books in this series.

A quick listen on Audible. New Narrator, she did very well, I am sure as the series goes on, it will get better and better.
I listened at x 1.65
Gordy has moved away from Hawes. She starts her job at a new station, while trying to cope.
It's a challenge. New coworkers, new town, new boss, new everything.
Add into the mix; murder. Impaled.
A quick easy mystery to start the series.

Well worth the wait
I became a fan of David Gatward after reading his first book Grimm Up North. Each book in the Grimm series has been superbly written. I loved Gordy in those books and have waited, rather impatiently, for this first book in her series. I was not disappointed! Looking forward to book 2 and also for the next Grimm book to drop this month.
