Grace Carter, Queen of Liverpool’s gangland scene is back, and this time around, she has to work hand in hand with her old adversary, DI Leigh Moss, in an attempt to find a killer who is stalking the Red Light districts of Liverpool - this is someone who appears to harbour a great hatred of prostitutes.

Author, Caz Finlay pulls it off once again in this gripping gangland series - and what a surprising finish! I thought it was going one way, and then.... well it didn’t! Such a great series.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for this ARC.

Having loved this series so far I was pleased to be approved for this ARC. As before, Caz Finlay has wrote a cracker of a book here. I loved it, and can’t fault her writing or this series. It was great to be back in the world of Michael and Grace and their families, and I enjoyed getting to know some new characters, and I liked that a side character in the previous book featured more in this one. I loved the different story threads and how the author wove them all together as the book raced to its conclusion. It had everything I liked, murders, a great plot with lots of twists and was fast paced, thrilling, and very realistic. Overall, a brilliant read and this author has never disappointed me. Looking forward to the next one.

Another great read.A good storyline well written story.Would recommend to anyone who likes mystery/crime novels.Would like to read more from this author.

Excellent. Really enjoyed this book. Fast paced action with twists and turns. Highly recommended. Looking forward to more.

Breathtakingly brilliant. Edge of the seat, a real page turner. Stunning book and very well written.

Welcome back Grace and Michael! With their new additions to the workforce Danny and Luke the Carter family are trying to have an easier life but with a murderer on the loose and the police at a loose end will Grace help Leigh although it goes against her principles.
Caz never fails to suck me into her books! I adore this series and it’s a definite read now for me throwing all my other books to the side. A massive thank you to netgalley and the publishers for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Three working girls all murdered within a month of each other and all with the same MO meant a serial killer was on the loose but with no clues as to the perpetrator DI Leigh Moss has her work cut out so turns to gangland queen Grace Carter for help.

From the start you are grabbed and pulled into this pulse raising novel that is fast paced and full of mile a minute action and what a wonderfully diverse bunch of realistic and believable characters Caz Finley has created - definitely a mix of the good, the bad and the down right nasty.

Loved this novel - a well written, engaging and engrossing read that I would definitely recommend.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Harper CollinsUK- One More Chapter for an ARC for my honest review.

Oh wow ! This book took me a while to read! I kept thinking ugh I don't wanna read a mafia book right now?! But oh wow this book was so much more! I finally read the whole book and geez what a book! I really loved it! This book had suspense, intrigue, drama , action packed, and a little bit of gore but not to bad! Its my first book by this author but it definitely won't be my last! You can read the books out of order, I didn't feel lost at all! wow what a great storyline! I highly recommend reading this one! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

There is a killer amongst them who they are calling a Liverpool Ripper who his like the Yorkshire ripper
There is a bloke called Murph and he is getting on with Pat
Then there is a woman called Grace and she is happily married to Michael
I loved the Gangland and wicked ways
I had an ARC

What a ride this book takes the reader on. In a matter of minutes I wasn’t sure who’s side I was on, the good guys or the bad guys. This book plays the two sides against each other in a dramatic, cat and mouse banter. As a reader, I usually side with the “good guys” but this book juxtaposed the differences.

I did not enjoy all of the curse words and because of that, will most likely not read this author again, but the mystery and intrigue made me want to at least finish the book. This book is NOT suitable for teenage readers.

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my review.

I received an advance copy of, Traitor in the House, by Caz Finlay. It was an ok story, but I did not like the language, the swearing, it put me off the book.

Wow Caz Finlay's books just get better and better i have loved catching up with Grace and Michael Carter and their family.This book grips you and has you wanting more the story is brilliant and you feel as though you are actually with them.The twists and turns in this book keep you flustered guessing but i am happy to say i guessed right.EXCELLENT book and worth more than 5*

Yet another five star read from Caz Finlay. I love this series and always enjoy catching up with Grace, Michael and their extended family. This book is no exception and definitely did not disappoint. Just hope I don't have to wait too long for the next instalment.

Thanks to Netgalley and Caz Finlay for allowing me to read this Arc.
Absolutely beyond brilliant as only Caz Finlay can deliver!! Since I discovered Caz Finlay's books I've been addicted. They're mind blowing. Each one will have you gripped from start to finish. I adore this series. I only wish I didn't have to wait for the next one. Definitely deserves more than five stars.

This book was firing on all cylinders from the first page. There's a serial killer on the loose who they're calling the Liverpool ripper. But the orchestrator was definitely not who I thought it could be but it does lead to a new unlikely allegiance. New relationships form in more ways than one and the live between Grace and Michael is as strong always. Lots of skulduggery and gangland naughtiness which had me on the edge of my seat. The only thing is Kaz hasn't left it on a cliff hanger so I really hope there's still more to come. Kaz, you excelled yourself with thus one. Thank you so much for allowing me to read it early. I feel sorry for those who have to wait. In the words of the characters, it was mint!

Our Queen Grace is back!!

I absolutely love this Bad Blood series and after each one I read I think how can Caz top that, Caz works her magic and pulls yet another blinding read out the bag.

Fantastic, gripping, a little gruesome in parts but that's what makes these excellent.

5 stars as always looking foward to the next installment

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I haven’t read the first few books in this series, but I enjoyed this one. It would make a very good Peaky Blinders style tv series. Great plot and characters.

The Carter family are stronger than ever. Grace and Michael have decided to take a back seat and leave the day to day running of their business to their boys Jake and Conner and the new team Danny and Luke.
What Grace doesn't expect is DI Leigh Moss an old acquaintance from the past, asking for her help.

Leigh Moss is designated to the case of 3 murdered girls, and maybe a fourth one, now missing. With no DNA left on the bodies and no other clues except they all resided at the infamous Sunnymeade Childrens Home.
But what has that got to do with Grace Carter and her business?

Grace feels the need to help and the more she and Leigh delve into these unsolved murders the more twists and turns start to come to the surface. As the past is reignited and enemies reappear.


"You’re not at all what I expected,’ he said with a snarl. ‘I remember how Nathan used to talk about you. He made out you were some sweet, naïve little girl who was scared of her own shadow. But, you’re actually a bit of a bitch really, aren’t you?"

She's done it again... Caz Finlay has continued with Book 5 in the Bad Blood series and has created this fast moving gritty gangster thriller set in Liverpool which focuses on The Carter family and their children.
I wasn't sure if at the beginning it was going to become more focused on DI Leigh Moss and her ability to solve the murders and how Grace and her family would fit in, but how wrong was I.
Every character worked, especially the introduction of Luke and Danny and they are a great addition to the Carter family.

What makes this stand out is the way its not just a gritty tale of the underworld but it delves into the relationships of the characters along the way and I love that.
Full of twists its another great read from this author and I can't wait for book 6
