Review: Boss Girl

Boss Girl by Emma Tallon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I did not realize that this book is a part of a series with the characters of Freddie, Anna and Tanya. However, I found the book and the characters easy to latch unto. The book has the right ingredients for a thriller with the background of crime & the underworld - it is fast paced; has well developed characters and the suspense holds right till the end.

Freddie Tyler’s writ runs over large parts of central London. His girlfriend Anna runs a nightclub which is doing very well. Anna is passionate about her business which she runs with her close friend Tanya, and is also looking to expand. Tanya is a little worried when her boyfriend Tom also wants into the underworld, rather than sticking with a low paying job he holds. Tom is keen to work with Freddie though and makes great efforts to fit in.

Freddie sees the opportunity for a deal with the mafia to open casinos in London when he meets with Frank Gambino. Gambino however wants Anna’s club in order to help Freddie. All of a sudden Anna goes missing. Could Gambino have broken the rule of not touching the other’s families? Old enemies? Other gangs looking to expand and using Anna to get to Freddie?

The build-up of suspense is very good, and the character development through the story as well. I liked the writing – as it is very clean and focused.

Definitely recommended if you like crime & suspense novels.

My rating: 4.5 / 5.
