Summary

The Deadly Houses is an absolutely gripping crime thriller with a massive twist from best-selling author Charlie Gallagher's Detective Maddie Ives series.

Eighteen months ago, a young boy cowers downstairs as the police try to stop his father from brutally assaulting his mother.

Now that man and three other domestic abusers have banded together to get revenge on the people they blame for taking their families away. A ring of brutal men working together against the police. And they have someone on the inside.

Can Detective Maddie Ives keep their families safe?

Intense Crime Thriller

From start to finish this instalment had me hooked. This was a fight to catch the culprits and save lives. Tragic, dark and intense, DS Maddie Ives has good instincts and due to a tragedy in DI Blaker’s life he decides to step back. His replacement does not come up to scratch, what will Maddie do about it? Will she convince Harry to come back? This is the last book in the series at the moment. I have to say it kept me riveted and I will absolutely miss the team. I suggest you pick up this book and be prepared to do nothing else. I loved it, suspects, victims, murders and a heart stopping ending, just Wow!!!

Revenge upon the innocent

This is, without doubt, the best in this series, it may also, sadly, be the last but what a finale if so.

I listened to 'He Will Get You' yesterday and I very much enjoyed that too, but this one, I was up half of the night unable to sleep listening to this, it's terrifying, although I can already hear the complainers screaming that it's 'unrealistic' which some might believe to be the case, but I'm the kind of person who believes all things are possible and than that are no depths to which evil men will not sink to punish those that those they hold resposible for their own sins. This book is about those men. It's terrifying if you actually think about the realities of it, and yes, all of the things in this book COULD happen, people will be persuaded to give others up if their own loved ones are at risk, it happens all the time (it's how gangs control people).
This is NOT a book for the faint hearted nor is it a book for those who will complain about 'far fetched' at every slightly wonky story they hear/read.

This could be the best yet !

Ok. So I’ve heard all the Maddy Ives books in order and I’m not sure if it was my frame of mind, likely not as it was listened to over a course of two
Weeks off and on.
But I think this is the best so far and could easily be heard and a stand alone as well.
