Reviewed: June 2010
Alex Gray does for Glasgow what Ian Rankin has done for Edinburgh, and breathes life into this industrialized corner of Scotland. This is not a cosy crime, but the well drawn characters and excellent plot kept the pages turning, almost against my will. A lot of very good writing comes from the northern reaches of the Continent, Britain and Canada – something in the water? Long, dark winters? It’s all to our advantage though, as it gives us such an amazing choice of really good authors when looking for the next ‘must read’ crime. And this is a real page turner.
