Summary

An unpredictable killer is loose on the streets of Glasgow. Beginning with brute force and relishing the power of snuffing out another human life, the murderer moves on to poison and drowning, greedy for new and better ways to kill. Faced with a string of seemingly unconnected victims, DCI Lorimer turns to psychologist and friend Solomon Brightman for his insights. But as the serial killer comes closer to Lorimer and his family, can the CDI unmask the volatile murderer before the next victim is found too close to home?

Another Excellent Lorimer Case

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I'm addicted to Lorimer books. The story was well developed and good to come across known characters from other cases.
Totally recommend.

Very thrilling y

Good story with a good narrator. I do not know why I like Scottish crime novels. But they are always so well written

As always brilliant

Loved it, even though I managed to figure out some of what would happen and who did it, the story still had me hooked from beginning to end.

Disappointed

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

Someone not into Crime Thrillers

What was most disappointing about Alex Gray’s story?

It was not gripping, Predictable & disappointing.

Any additional comments?

I wish I'd seen Persis's comment before I purchased.

Warning!!

If you are a fan of Stuart MacBride and James Oswald DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. The story doesn't hold your interest and if just plain horrible.
