Life is good now for the Glass family. Luke’s club LBC (Lucky Bastard Club} is doing really well and the club is always packed out. Nina Glass her real estate business is too well too, and Glass family business is moving closer to being fully legit. Nina decides to give a special Christmas present to her partner Mark Douglas and ex- copper now in the family business. So, she visits a jeweller in Poland street only to get mixed up in an armed robbery. Which she ends up taken hostage.
When the gang find out who Nina is they think that they can get one over Luke Glass. The members of the gang come from privileged background. So, they have no idea what Luke is like. But they are soon to find out?
Hustle is the third book in The Glass family saga and WOW what a great book it is. The series just gets better and better. This is another suspenseful thriller and quite brutal in places. I couldn’t put this down. I loved this action-packed thriller and I can’t wait for the next instalment. 5 stars from me.

Nina Glass -- owner of a real estate agency, Glass Houses, is in love with Mark, a disgraced police officer and she is planning a unique gift for him with an old jeweler in London. Mark works for Nina's brother Luke.Nina is one of the four siblings in the Glass crime family and she is featured in this third entry in his Glass Family series, Hustle. The eldest sibling, Danny, has disappeared, leaving next in line Luke to take charge. He opens an exclusive club, with recently discovered Charlie, their American sister who oversees the prostitutes that serve the club goers. The story opens with a robbery of Nina's jeweler when she is present. Things go wrong, she ends up being taken hostage almost as an afterthought. We quickly learn the three young men and one young women don't seem to have a particular plan and are surprised-- but also excited--- that they've taken on such a dangerous package as Nina. They are well-off and looking for thrills. We see various other pressures on the organization that must be addressed with fitting violence to uphold the family's reputation. The story is told well. Some of the characters are well written caricatures but it works I was engaged enough to read to the end and to download a kindle unlimited copy of the first book i this series. Mullen sort of deftly draws his characters as window dressing for the dangers he puts them through for his readers to watch. I don't care about them much at all, yet I'm interested in them. The primary and side stories are entertaining and take some twists and turns that we don't see coming for sure. Very few ends remain loose. There is violence. There is suspense. I ended up liking this enough to borrow the kindle unlimited copy of the first book in the series, " A satisfying read all in al.

Wow Owen Mullen has done it again the best in the series so far fast paced and brilliant.
Nina Glass is taken hostage after a robbery where two men are killed.
The robbers see it as an easy to make money and set themselves up for life.
They know Luke Glass will surely pay anything to get his sister back,but do they really know who they are messing with because Luke will stop at nothing to find them and they will pay badly for messing with his family.
Look forward to the next installment in the series.
Thanks to Netgalley and Boldwood books for the ARC

I am back with the Glass family and Omg what a read!!!
Never a dull moment in this household and for me the best in the series so far. Have they finally met their match? This book had me glued to my seat and tapping my kindle like a demented wood pecker. Tension and suspense on every page, heart stopping moments and so much more. Life inside a gangster family at it's best and I can't wait to read more. A well deserved five stars from another of my favourite and very talented authors.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in return for giving an honest review.

Crime gang family. Romance violence and feuds. Part of a series that I have never read before. I felt as if I should have read the other books to pick up more of the back story.

Visceral and uncompromising, Owen Mullen paints a picture of criminality and revenge which seems very real.

Whilst the book takes time to gather pace, it becomes intense, with its later chapters showing what life just might be like in a gangster family.

Compelling for those interested in human interest and crime generally.
