So the Glass Family series continues…the third book of the series and what a series it is. I can’t get enough of the Glass family and their drama and adventures.
What was meant to be a straightforward jewellery heist goes horribly wrong, and the thieves are forced to take a hostage to make their escape. But when they discover their prisoner is the infamous Nina Glass – one of the bosses of the most dangerous criminal dynasty in London – they soon realise they have made a terrible mistake.
Greed wins out over good sense and the gang decide to make the best of a bad situation. They send Luke Glass a ransom note. But messing with London’s top crime dynasty is a serious error. Now Luke must track down the gang who abducted his sister before they carry out their brutal threats.
The Glass family have other problems. The crooked cop they have on their payroll – DCI Oliver Stanford – makes an unwelcome discovery. The insider they had all presumed dead, may in fact have survived, and still be feeding information to the police.
Under attack from all sides, and desperate to save his sister, Luke has the reputation and survival of the crime dynasty in his hands – is this the end of the Glass family?
This book picks straight up from Insider, the second book in the series. Owen Mullen has expertly woven another story that threw me straight back into the Glass Family’s world.
The action starts right from the moment you start reading. This is what this author is excellent at, bringing dark, gritty, and explosive action, along with characters you really need to get to know. Owen Mullen writes all his books as standalone stories, but let me tell you once you delve into the Glass Family’s and the underworld they run… You need to read them all.
A series that is known for its graphic violent action scenes anyway and then Hustle was published! I think Owen Mullen doesn’t hold back, in fact I would say that he has dialled it all up a few notches! Saying that, it is all perfect for the story.
I was so immersed in this book I polished it off in one day. I just feel I am back with friends when I start a Glass family book. I actually feel for these people and I could see this type of family in Manchester running the criminal underground… that’s how real they feel. Anytime I pick up an Owen Mullen book, I am transfixed till the last page.
Hustle had me racing through it to find out what happened as soon as possible; the tension begins right from the start, and doesn’t let up throughout. I am so looking forward to the next book as I am so eager to see what’s next for the Glass family.
Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Boldwood Books for the copy of the book.
