A brilliant introduction to a new gangland series. A good range of character introductions with Callie and Angie being good strong female protagonists.
The overall storyline is well thought out and written well, a good depth to the plot and a realistic approach.
The final chapters are great for setting up for the second book in the series.

The first book in BRAND NEW gripping gangland thriller series by bestselling author Evie Hunter!
WOW! If this isn't a book to brag about I don't know what is... I started it late last night. Never did I anticipate I would be closing the book at 1am left in complete shock... This book was insane! It was twisted, it was gripping but it was so darn good! Wow!…

Dirty Business is a good start to a new gangland crime series. I really liked the main character Callie and her friend Angie. Both their husbands are missing and Callie and Angie want to know where they are and why and take matters into their own hands. The story is well written and flows easily, and the plot is good and certainly realistic and all too believeable. There are characters you like and root for and others you loathe and just want them to be found out. I enjoyed this read, it is good, engaging and held my attention and interest but it didn't wow me. The ending is good and sets up the next book perfectly which I'll want to read to see what is in store for Callie next. If you like gangland crime books with strong characters give this a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Dirty Business is a thrilling start to a new gangland series with strong female characters. Callie and Angela's husbands have disappeared and with the help of her friends Callie needs to find out if they are alive and why and where they have vanished too while keeping the spa business operating. Featuring the rich and famous you can't trust anyone as they are not all what they seem on the surface and some are downright ruthless. It's a fast paced read and after every page you just want more! I enjoyed that the females were the leading characters and I have a feeling that one of them is hiding something.

I enjoyed this book. The characters were good and it was a good storyline. I found the ending quite open so hopefully it will lead on to another story. However it does tie it up well. I would recommend this to others who enjoy the gangster type novel.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed this book, although I did find the ending a little predictable. Recommended.

This is an intense gangland crime thriller. For a change, it focuses on the females of families, and I do like this.

The females in question have been thrust into the midst of something they no nothing about. When the local thugs come knocking at their doors demanding to know where their husbands are. Not only are two husbands missing, but also a son!

when the women have no idea what is going on they do not know who they can trust. After all, this is a lifestyle where secrets, devious backhanders, mysterious shenanigans and threats of violence are part of everyday life. The fact that the males of the families are not missed for a while, goes to show how relationships have been stretched.

I enjoyed the fact that this story was told from the female perspective and it showed a different side to the gangland crime family. This meant I learnt what was being unearthed as the women did, it made it feel more personal.

Gangland crime is a great genre to read and this book was a fabulous way to start a new series, I cannot wait to see what happens next. There are unanswered questions and I imagine there are lots of opportunities for revenge, more secrets and deviousness to come.

If you are a fan of gangland, crime, and thriller books then this is one I would definitely recommend.

A great start to a gangland thriller. It had a great storyline, fast paced and so many twists. I already am looking forward to the next.
5*****

It's a great start to a gangland thriller.

The main character, Callie Renfrew, owns a spa that serves as a front for money laundering. When Callie's husband Gavin suddenly disappears without a trace, she, along with her friends Angela Dalton and Dawn Frobisher, begins to investigate his dealings, unsure if he is alive or dead.

Callie didn't realize just how devious her husband was or the extent of his connections in authority.

What a gripping book this is! Great story! It's fast-paced, leaving you wanting more after each page.

We encounter the rich, the famous, and the downright ruthless.

Really enjoyed this book.. The 1st book in a gangland thriller series. Love that it is strong female characters and enjoyed the plot. Looking forward to contine reading the rest of the series. Thank you to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for ARC.

Excellent book and a really good start to a new series. Fast paced throughout and with authentic characters.

A gangland thriller with beautiful babes, yes please. If this sounds up your alley, pick up Dirty Business by Evie Hunter. You'll love it.

Great start to a new gangland series and as always packed with strong female characters, each dealing with the fallout of the disappearance of the men in their lives.
I'm looking forward to learning more about Dawn as the series progresses,Callie and Angie are more center stage in this one and she only features towards the end, and I'm sure she's hiding something!!
This is definitely just one more chapter read.Roll on book 2.

LOVED THIS BOOK!
When Callies and Angies husbands go missing there's a target on the ladies backs. Someone wants Callies spa, but will she sell?? Callies husband Gavin has disappeared without a trace, but Callie knows he has been laundering money through her business., are the husbands together? Are they even still alive?
