Title: After reading Messiah, Storm is quite a Disappointment
Product review: I waited patiently for Boris Starling's next novel, after reading Messiah. Messiah is probably the best novel of this genre that I have ever read. Storm on the other hand is somewhat unfocused and realy does not make a clear connection between the two main plotlines. The novel drags on and on trying to give us some insight into the mindset of DCI Beauchamp and is quite boring at times. Furthermore, the re-introduction of Redfern Metcalfe, the hero of Messiah, seems like a cheap take on the Hannibal Lecter character, except that the reader is never really given an insight into his situation other than the fact that at the end of Messiah, he decides that he has crossed over the line between good and evil. By giving Metcalfe a larger portion of this story, Storm could have been a much better book.
