Product Description

When a series of young women are discovered strangled and mutilated in a Glasgow park, it is up to DCI Lorimer to find their killer. Frustrated by a lack of progress in the investigation, Lorimer is forced to enlist the services of Dr Solomon Brightman, a young psychologist and criminal profiler. Together they form an uneasy alliance. But when a homeless man is brought in for questioning the investigation takes a bizarre turn ...Never Somewhere Else is a highly visual, stylish and powerfully written tale that leads the reader through the streets of Glasgow on a compelling journey of discovery that never fails to keep the pages turning.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Never Somewhere Else" review, 7 May 2003
By A Customer
I actually bought this book because it was written by one of my English teachers from my schooldays so I was interested to see what it was like.

I have to say that I really enjoyed it. Right from the beginning it is really easy to get into - I read it in just a couple of days as once I'd started I didn't want to put it down! There are a few twists and turns in the plot along the way which helps to sustain interest although the last one is fairly predictable.

All in all though it's a really good read and I would definetly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Glasgow Crime, 22 Oct 2002
By Sarah Stevenson (Edinburgh, Midlothian United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Never Somewhere Else (Hardcover)
I found Alex Gray's debut novel fascinating reading - it has all the elements of a great crime novel for me - stunning city backdrop, plot twists and turns, a psychological element and a clear way of transmitting ideas to paper. I look forward to the next one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great debut novel, Glasgow in a different light., 12 Jun 2005
Well, picked this up thinking it looked interesting, and ended up reading it twice. Alex Gray is a fantastic author, who captures Glasgow fanastically. Disagree with a previous reviewer who said it was full of stereotypes. Instead, I think Ms Gray shows a side of Glasgow that is accurate for the context she wrote it in. Overall, I'd recommend this book, and the following two to any reader! If you come Glasgow particularluy, you're gonna love it!
