A review by carolyn0613
Bloody January by Alan Parks

5.0

I enjoyed this book a lot. The setting in Glasgow added to the grittiness of the drama and I enjoyed reading about the old places and the redevelopment in the seventies, around the time the story is set. The actual story of the murder is very good but is overshadowed by the excellent back story of Harry. It is very gory and has graphically described violence which I found a bit too much at times but I did understand that it was integral to the plot and setting. An excellent gritty detective novel
