The Bird That Did Not Sing: A DCI Lorimer novel (Unabridged)

Storyline weak
Characters overdrawn
Disappointing ask I quite enjoy this author but this is a poor book with a far fetched storyline

Being a Glaswegian living in England I always appreciate a good book set in my home town and this one did not disappoint.

Enjoyed this book I like this authors stories look forward to next book glad this book on kindle, more please

Once again, I really enjoyed this author, whose book is about the Commonwealth Games due shortly in Glasgow.

Alex is a local author who researches really extensively to give her books credibility.

Most enjoyable

Fantastic couldn't put it down can't wait for next book ! Well delivered like previous Lorimer novels you feel you know the characters and can't wait to hear more

A Very enjoyable read, it held my interest right to the end, couldn't put it down. Hope there is another superintendent Larimer book in the offing.

I like the DS Lorimer series and this was an enjoyable, easy read with a couple of plot twists. The only thing that annoyed me was the role of MI 6. Domestic terrorism in the UK is in the hands of MI 5.

Alex Gray in her usual style. A great insight into the lives of police work in Scotland. DCI Lorimer at his best..

I did enjoy this DS Lorimer story, set in Glasgow in the months leading up to the Commonwealth Games. Everybody wants the Games to go ahead with the minimum of disruption, or do they? It is a very complex plot, with several strands to it, that eventually converge and all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place. The story takes place over several months, is gripping, full of danger, intrigue and some parts are quite disturbing. The story is well paced, it unfolds at a leisurely pace and there is a real sense of impending doom. There are a number of characters, who are all relevant to the plot, and I liked the way the story switched from character to character as it progressed.

However, I did feel that the last few chapters were a little rushed in relation to the build up. I could have done with a couple more just to round the story off properly, so that I saw some of the events, rather than being told about them. That having been said, it is a very enjoyable read indeed.

This was an excellent read the plot was threefold and kept me reading,I would certainly and have recommended this book.
