Before the Storm by Alex Gray

5.0

⭐️ 5 ⭐️

Many thanks to NetGalley, Little, Brown Book Group UK and Alex Gray for the eARC, in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

This is the first book I’ve read by Alex Gray, and it certainly won’t be the last.

If you haven’t read any of the other DSI William (Bill) Lorimer series, don’t worry - Before The Storm works perfectly well as a standalone.

Alex Gray’s fabulous attention to detail really allows you to visualise her characters. I became particularly fond of Netty and Daniel, and the heart-warming relationship they formed. The characters have great depth, and I was totally invested in their story.

The book wasn’t overly littered with characters either - allowing you to easily follow the plot, without having to digest too much information.

Overall, an excellent police procedural, with a gripping storyline and a few red herrings thrown in for good measure.

I will now be adding the other seventeen (!) in the series to my TBR list.

I would highly recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
