The Family Business
Alex Kane
About the book:
Blood’s thicker than water… and they’re not afraid to spill it
Donnie Black. Charming, successful… and utterly terrifying, he rules the Glasgow underworld with an iron fist. Nothing – or no one – will stop him and he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty to grow his fortune.
Layla Black. She’s been married to Donnie for twenty years, enjoying the lavish world he has worked hard to create. But behind the perfect image Layla is crumbling, numbing her pain with alcohol. But Layla doesn’t know the secrets Donnie keeps – and the truth will send her spiralling.
Louise Bellshaw. She’s young, beautiful and innocent. She’s charmed by Donnie’s sweet words, and believes she’s found true love. But Louise doesn’t know her dream man has plans that will turn her life into a nightmare.
As the three collide, no one can predict how family ties will turn to bloodshed. Because you’ll do anything for the ones you love, won’t you?
A dark, twisty and totally gripping thriller set in the heart of Glasgow gangland – fans of Mandasue Heller and Kimberley Chambers won’t be able to put this down.
My Review
This one is gritty, tense and dark. It moves along at a fast pace as each of the family grapple to be calling the shots. This family is earning their keep in drugs and sex and it seems there is nothing they won’t do. There is high drama in this action packed book. I breezed through it because I couldn’t put it down.
I really wasn’t sure what gangland meant but I love crime and thriller books so I wanted to give it a try and I am so glad I did. I can’t wait to read her next book. I highly recommend this to any crime lover.
