It’s my turn to post for the book tour for Queen Of Diamonds by Gillian Godden. Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Boldwood Books for the ARC to join the tour.
Is the Diamond reign over?
Head of the Diamond family, Patsy is determined to make a success of husband Nick’s gangland empire – whatever the cost. Nick was ruthless and cold-blooded, but he built a legacy that Patsy wants to protect.
So when a mysterious woman from Nick’s past turns up claiming to be Patsy’s new business partner, she senses trouble. Karen Duret demands Patsy’s help, but it comes with a catch. If Patsy refuses, Karen threatens to expose the Diamond family’s darkest secrets…
Patsy needs the help of her trusted allies more than ever, but when a rival gang start a turf war, the stakes suddenly become deadly.
Torn between loyalties, Patsy knows that blood will be spilled. And as battle commences, the question on everyone’s lips is – who will be crowned the queen of diamonds?
I was so glad to see Gillian Godden had written a third Diamond Series book, Queen Of Diamonds. I am a gangland fan and every other book I’ve read that Gillian Godden has written has been such an easy, riveting read. I was eager to see how the Diamond family was faring.
It was, as all the Diamond Series is, a gritty, dark and pretty intense story. So intense I find I have read every book in the series in one sitting! I just can’t leave them alone.
Patsy is running the gangland empire of her late husband, Nick. As we know there is always something to contend with. What Patsy doesn’t expect is someone popping out o¹f the woodwork, claiming to be Nick’s business partner. Especially when that someone is a woman!
Patsy is a woman who doesn’t take any messing and she has a fight on her hands this time. Gillian Godden has again brought the authentic feeling gangland life. From the double dealing to the seedy underworld that the Diamonds are part of. It’s all there.
I always feel like I am part of this dirty life as I read these books and Queen Of Diamonds is no different. I was clueless as to what would be happening next as Gillian Godden wove a tale so twisty that I was turning the pages like they were on fire almost. The multiple storylines all being woven together to bring a conclusion that wants me to beg for the next book now!
I do love gangland books and this author can keep up with the best. Another well written, authentic feeling story with memorable characters that stay with you. If you enjoy Mandasue Heller, Kimberley Chambers try GilIan Godden too.
