Historian Vinny Connolly tries to escape the bitter memories of his childhood in a tough neighbourhood.

But a secret from the past,  involving a pocket watch, an old man's death, and childhood friends, threatens to unravel his presents.

When one of those friends, Sammo, dies in mysterious circumstances, Vinny, his wife Helen, and his ex-partner Anne McCarthy race against time to uncover the truth.

A hit and run incident, text messages, and a murdered pet, all warm Vinny away from the investigation. A series of letters hold the key to Sammo's life, and the secret to unlock the mystery of his death. Facing unexpected obstacles from politicians and police, Anne tries to overcome an accident death verdict.

 Set against the backdrop of a post-Brexit UK, this is a gripping tale of immigration, friendship, the power of secrets to shape our lives; and the value of resistance to authority.

My Review:-Before The Storm is Book3 in 'The Liverpool Mysteries Series.' The grabbed me as soon as it started, A suspicious death, threatening text messages and an accident that isn't an accident. Vinny tells us the story as he helps Helen, his wife recover after her accident, where she was run off the road. We are taken back to when Sammo, Macca and Vinny were kids. Has the childhood of these three got something to do with the present? There are plenty going on in this book, there is a bit of romance, danger, history, and mystery. There are twists going through the book, some you won't be expecting. I could tell you more but I don't do spoilers, so you will have to get the book and find out what happens to Vinny and the other characters.
