Another absolute blinder in the dolly Rawlins book. This sees her yet again plan and execute another robbery. The dolly Rawlins books are one of the best series of books I've read and I enjoyed this just as much as the first. Would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the London underworld and wants to see women do what the men fail to achieve
First off, you need to read Widows before you read this bc you need the whole back story. It also helps you see the evolution of these strong women and why they end up how they are in this follow up.
It seemed a bit slow to me at the beginning but warmed right up to a banger of an ending! I just love these badass women!

*Take my review with a grain of salt. This was a gift and I did not read the first one π My fiancΓ© thought it was a stand-alone... not a sequel*

First off 274 and only 6 chapters... THEY ARE LONG YALL. Second off... this is just not the book for me. I felt like I was reading the script for a crime show. I honestly started rooting for the ex-husband by the end. πππ

Having thoroughly enjoyed Widows I was eager to get my mitts on this, the follow-up. Lynda La Plante consistently shows exactly why she has graced bestsellers lists all around the world for the longest time, and in Widows' Revenge, she has indeed outdone herself once again. The excitement throughout the previous book is ramped up here, making it utterly riveting and another page-turning success. This is such an original premise, and as it's rather a rarity to come across a thriller that is wholly unique this series is one of my favourites. It has the perfect pace, a truly gripping plot, immersive writing and characters that you care about and cheer for after they pulled off the heist of the century.
One of the aspects I adore about these books is that the plot centres around strong, feisty women who pull no punches when it comes to kicking ass, figuratively not literally. These women are fascinating and beautifully developed, so much so that they feel like friends. There are a plethora of surprises throughout, and you know what they say about best-laid plans. The 1980s setting is immersive and intriguing given I was born at the end of that decade this was all new to me. However, it is a little cliche at times, and of course, the storyline requires a healthy suspension of disbelief to fully appreciate, but overall this is a great read.
Many thanks to Zaffre for an ARC.
