About this deal

As they passed an elderly lady walking an overenthusiastic Collie, Rex cowered behind Beth, whimpering. I was familiar with the dialogue used (as I live in the UK) and felt that it fitted with the story well.

When Julie is accused of a crime she doesn’t commit, even her nearest and dearest do not believe her!He was tall, slim and good looking with jet-black hair, and she thought for the umpteenth time how lucky she was to be married to him. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. As much as I liked Slur, you can tell that Gangster’s Grip is Burnside’s second novel as it feels a little more polished and well-paced. The new home suited Brady, who was aspirational and liked the fact that he was now residing in Marple. At it’s center is a strong woman that I was rooting for all the way, it’s a full five stars from me and then some.

Slur was gritty and engaging, leaving me wanting to know whether Julie was ever going to clear her name. Out of the corner of her eye, Beth noticed the manager watching her, but before he had a chance to comment, she rushed away from the bar, feeling flustered.

As their relationship progressed, they decided to pool their resources and upgrade to a three-bedroom detached home in the more affluent area of Marple. The piece of furniture had been carefully selected by both of them to give the place a cool retro vibe. When Beth meets wealthy crime boss Martin , he sets her up in business, dotes on her and gives her everything she wants.

She turned her head to the side to get a better look and noticed a distinguished, good-looking man of about forty sitting on a stool at the end of the bar. The first book in Heather's new Manchester Thriller series, Blackmail, was published in paperback in February 2023. He smiled disarmingly, and Beth noticed it made him look even more handsome with his perfect white teeth.Frantic now, Beth carried on battling her way towards Rex till she had almost reached the end of the clump of bushes. As Beth moves on from her trauma with new husband Brady , she seems a happy, successful career girl. You may miss the characters being introduced, but the stories are not intertwined and you’d miss very little by reading this as a stand-alone book. The lady and her dog passed by, and Beth was finally able to get Rex to come out of his hiding place behind her legs and continue walking.

His other hand was clasped around her middle, but it felt weighty, as though he was holding something, which was prodding her stomach. By completing your purchase, you agree to Audible's Conditions of Use and authorise Audible to charge your designated card or any other card on file. They had both been living in Romiley when they met two years ago, Beth in her own flat and Brady in a three-bed semi he owned.In addition to vibrant and vivacious protagonist Rita and her dependable friend Julie, the book boasts an array of new colourful, contrasting and convincing characters. They chatted for a while about their plans for the house, their jobs and other mutual topics till their drinks ran out and Beth decided to go to the bar. I’ve read pretty much everything Burnside has written; her short stories collection Crime, Conflict and Consequences, and the first book in the trilogy Slur, and it’s safe to say I’m a fan. Set in 1996, a time when Manchester was dealing with a serious drug and gang problem, Gangster’s Grip is the story of a normal family, who through a mixture of love and intimidation, become too mixed up in that world. Heather Burnside grew up in Gorton, a working-class area of Manchester famed as the original location for the TV series, Shameless.
