"'Welcome New Member of the Tartan Noir Pack' Val McDermid"
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
The body of a prostitute is found at Glasgow 's Queen Street Station, her hands, pointing towards her feet, placed as if in prayer, a small flower pressed between the palms. Psychologist Solomon Brightman is called to assist DCI Lorimer in the murder hunt, with the hope that his lateral thinking will shine a light on the case from a different angle. But before any conclusions can be drawn, the body of a nurse is discovered at The Grange, a private clinic. Aside from the careful arrangement of the corpses, there is no obvious connection between the victims; Lorimer and Solomon are still very much in the dark. Then a third body turns up, and it seems increasingly clear that they have a serial killer on their hands.

Hi
This is a nice story with some good characters and a reasonble plot. Slightly spoiled by the feeling I had that the author did not have good knowledge of some of the people who had disabilites that she was talking about....
The un-masking was a surprise (partly becasue I had forgotton who the perpetrator was....)
Note to authors - try and give all your main characters very different names so your busy readers do not muddle them !! .....
But overall, worth reading.

I have just discovered Alex Gray and am working my way through her Glasgow novels. They are a good read - not great, just good. If you are a Glaswegian like me you will enjoy reading about the various places Lorimer visits. As a crime writer, her books get better as you go through them. I'm a fan of Stuart McBride, Ian Rankin and Peter Robinson who, I think, are brilliant at their craft. Alex Gray is not in their league, but enjoyable nevertheless.
