This mystery keeps you turning pages keeps you guessing.

enjoyed reading it as I do all Lorimer’s stories Alex Grey is a good Scottish writer

I was very excited to read this book. There were so many good reviews about this and I was really looking forward to a good mystery novel. It had been a couple of weeks since I had read a good novel and I wanted to really dig into a good novel.

I was given a good mystery novel. Ms. Gray had me guessing till the end of the novel. She had me thinking it was one of the main characters with in the novel. She did a great job of distracting you from the real person.

I do have to put that I felt the story was rather slow. I didnt feel the excitement building in the book whatsoever. There was no build up within the book for either case that was presented within the book. I was looking for that build up and never got it. I felt that there should of been maybe a bit between DCI Lomier and his wife.

It was a good book. Just a bit slow for my taste, if you like a milder book than one that is just jam packed with action and nail biting paging turning action than that is the book here for you. I just happen to like a bit more action in my books.

****I was given a copy of this book for my honest review****

Im grateful Partners in Crime Virtual Book Tours offered me the opportunity to review Alex Grays Glasgow Kiss. You see Id never read an Alex Gray book. I am now hooked!

Glasgow Kiss, #6 in the DCI Lorimer Series, is well written, filled with clear character development, and suspense. As part of a series, the first question is usually whether the book can be read as a stand-alone. The answer here is definitely a YES!

With two plots running simultaneously through the book, with a minor third also appearing from time to time, a reader would perhaps get lost. That is not the case with Grays management of her plot line. I was at a loss at times to understand the need for the second and especially the third. Yet I wasnt writing the book and left that to Alex Grays discretion.

In the area of characterization, I found the characters to be realistic, engaging, and plausible. There were times when I felt as if I could feel pulses surge, hearts beat harder, and anxiety surface on the page. Excellent characterization doesnt always come easy to authors, but obviously Gray has a gift for doing it well.

All in all, I recommend Glasgow Kiss to those who love a good mystery, well-written and populated with believable characters. I found the pace to be comfortable, and each page turned quickly and easily. A book that is hard to put down.
