4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Git O'Rourke just wanted to blow off some steam. She never expected to be accused of murder. The rundown town of Baxter doesn't have a lot going for it, but there's always somewhere for single mum Git O'Rourke to cut loose and forget about her life. All she wanted was to put aside worried thoughts of her daughter, Charlie, and find a handsome stranger to spend the night with. She never expected to be accused of murder. Now Git is in deep trouble. She's just woken up in a dark hotel room with a strange man she can't seem to rouse, and surrounded by money and guns. When the dead body is discovered with a bullet through its forehead, Officer Delia Mariola is one of the first on the scene. She knows the victim is connected to the mob, but something feels off - all signs point to a pick-up gone wrong. Which means that all signs point to Git. Suspenseful, thrilling and unpredictable, The Yards is a dark mystery with two unforgettable women at its core.

If you like tough grimy mysteries this is for you! Very strong character development. Small town girl who wants to get out but happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time!
It was a super fast read and the ending was a a mind blowing shocker! 4⭐️

There were many enjoyable aspects to this story, strong female leads, fast paced action, a number of twists but overall I found I struggled to fully engage with it. Whilst the characters were well developed I never really related to them. I don‘t think this was helped by the male narrator for parts of the book. The female narrator on the other hand was very good. 👇

Andrew65 Overall I would say this was an okay book, but wouldn‘t necessarily be in a rush to listen to others by this author. I feel it would be a better story if it was read rather than listened to. Possibly others would enjoy this book more than me so I would certainly say don‘t let my view put you off.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and net galley for providing a review copy of the book for an open and honest review.

Continuing the #AnyWayYouReadthon and the #NovelNovember by listening to this audiobook. Not able to physically read as annoyingly 😡 a noisy fair not far from our house this weekend, and VERY noisy.

Eggbeater Tell them to be quiet, you're trying to read! How rude! I hope the audiobook is good. 3y
Andrew65 @Eggbeater Exactly, the book is okay but nothing special. 3y
