Kerry Kaya is back! With a sequel to The Price, a gritty, gangland thriller that brought us Fletcher and Spencer. A brilliant book and one I recommend for anyone who loves Kimberley Chambers. I snatched the invitation up for this book, couldn’t wait to see how life had treated Fletch. There was no doubt in my mind that I would enjoy my visit back into Fletch’s world and I was right.
The Score picks up twenty-two years after The Price ends, we see Fletch come out of prison back to his old stomping grounds. All he wants is to see his kids. He discovers that his son, Austin, is just like him…except he doesn’t realise the seriousness of the consequences and he is always in trouble.
His daughter is married to the notorious Roscoe Taylor which he isn’t pleased about either. He decides he is going to help Austin out of his predicament, let the good times roll…or not?
The Score keeps the standards Kerry Kaya set herself when she wrote The Price. Another gritty, action-packed, layered story. Characters you love to hate and ones you can’t help silently cheering on. Kerry Kaya creates such well-rounded characters that you feel you know them. The fact that I started reading and was back in Fletch’s world was good enough for me. He may be an ex-con but I feel like he could be a mate, I must be honest and say towards the end of the first book, maybe a few tears leaked out of my eyes, that’s how connected I was and I am again. That shows skill to me and I can’t wait for Kerry Kaya to release another book.
Anyone who loves a good gangland thriller will love this. My attention was grabbed straight away and as the story unfolded, I was kept intrigued by the twists, secrets and lies that kept coming as the pages turned.
A fantastic book, a brilliant series! Keep it up Kerry, I love your work. Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Boldwood Books for my highly prized copy of this book.
