Jeanette reviews 'Before the storm' by Alex Gray

Towards the end of last year is when I read a book by one of my favourite authors, Alex Gray.

‘Before the Storm’ is the seventh book in the DS Bill Lorrimer series.  It is set in Glasgow and introduces a new character, Inspector Daniel Kohi of the Zimbabwean police, who was forced to flee from his country.  Their paths cross, and so the story begins of counter-terrorism threats and local murders!

An English/Scottish crime novel to me, is reuniting with familiar characters and is best accompanied by a cup of coffee (or tea, if you must) when reading.

I went on to read the latest Peter James ‘Picture you Dead’ set in Brighton, England, but have started this year reading Nordic crime novels.  I find I have to concentrate more with regards to surnames and place names, however I am enjoying the change.  One of these books could be my next review – watch this space!!
