Dirty Geese
When Chief Whip Esme Kanha learns of the sudden death of the Minister for Personal Information, she bitterly regrets missing his desperate calls the previous evening. Unconvinced by the verdict of suicide, and suspicious that corrupt colleagues played some part in the man’s death, she decides to investigate – but she must tread carefully in a near-future world dominated by technology, where ‘what can see watches, what can hear listens, and what can be followed is tracked’.
Meanwhile, Big Tech executive Henri Lauvaux arrives in London. His mission: to ensure the new minister, Harry Colbey, will not prove as problematic as the last. As the West inexorably slides towards an Orwellian ‘Big Brother’ future, Harry Colbey and Esme Kanha join forces in a deadly cat-and-mouse game against political corruption – at great cost to themselves.

A new author for me & also one of my seldom read genres - a political thriller.
The Minister for Personal Information, Dvoracek, committed suicide at his desk. Or did he? A back bencher is immediately appointed as his replacement. He is asked by the PM to look for the dead man’s black book but on no account read it. Yeah, right! The Chief Whip & the new minister do not get on but both have suspicions over Dvoracek’s death & end up working together. They discover corruption at the highest level & a Big Brother state in the offing.
Set in the near-future, this is an intriguing & intricate tale. The workings of government are well-explained without being dry & the overt threat of technology taking over is detailed in menacing glory. A recommended read & I wonder where book 2 will take us?

Back bencher Harry Colbey suddenly finds himself appointed to the lofty heights of Minister for Personal Information, after the post's previous incumbent Percy Dvořáček blows his brains out in his Westminster office. The Prime Minister, Ewan MacLellan, is sure that Colbey will be the safe pair of hands they need to get the new Personal Information Bill passed into law, hopefully avoiding the recent near-disaster that Dvořáček attempted before his death.
Chief Whip, Esme Kanha regrets missing Dvořáček's call the previous evening. The strange phone messages he left her hint at something fishy about his apparent suicide, and more to his meddling with the Personal Information Bill than the erratic actions of a broken man. Kanha begins a covert investigation into Dvořáček's death, being as careful as she can to avoid detection in a world where technology watches your every move and listens to your every word. She is horrified to find that the corruption she uncovers goes to the very top of the government.
Meanwhile, Colbey soon finds that his new role is a poisoned chalice. When Big Tech executive Henri Lauvaux arrives in London, Colbey becomes embroiled in a trap that ties him to the shady shenanigans playing out behind a facade of truth and openness. But Colbey is a rare thing in government... an honest man, and he finds an ally in Kanha. Together they team up to do what they can to prevent the slide of the western world into a terrifying Orwellian future.
Dirty Geese is an absolutely gripping near-future, political novel that delves beautifully into the knotty issues of privacy versus security in a world dominated by surveillance. Lou Gilmond does a cracking job of taking you deep into the workings of government, with all the ambition driven power games that go on behind the scenes in Westminster, embroidering them into a thriller that is so realistic you can taste it. Human frailty, secrets, lies, devices and desires combine to drive a story that examines what can happen when corruption within the corridors of power seduces those who should be protecting public interest into dark deeds.
This is a thriller that thrums with tension as our unlikely heroes, the thoroughly decent Harry Colbey and cynical Chief Whip Esme Kanha, come together in a common aim to stop the elegantly depicted villain Henri Lauvaux realising a plot of deliciously Bond-like proportions. There is real danger in their mission, as they must do their utmost to avoid detection in a setting where they are constantly being monitored, and it is not easy to tell who they can trust. The plot twists and turns, and carries you along to the slickest of endings that will have you punching the air with glee. There is a lovely supporting cast for you to love and hate, including the delightful tech whizz Mani, and on the other end of the scale the despicable PM Ewan MacLellan and his henchman Tirrell, as well as a few characters who fill out the story with an intriguing glimpse into the tricky personal lives of MPs and civil servants and their working relationships.
I am seriously impressed by the way Gilmond fashions a fast-paced and compelling thriller that keeps you turning the pages, while also making the complicated issue of privacy versus safety so engaging, and it adds an extra slice of menace to know that the very technological nightmares she uses to great effect in this story are only a step away. If that does not give you the chills and have you side-eyeing your gadgets, then I do not know what will.
This is the best political thriller I have read in ages, and I love how Gilmond baits the hook into the next Kanha and Colbey thriller with the tastiest of tempting morsels. I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to book two!

This is a bit of a tough one for me to review, but only from the point of view that I am not into politics at all, and I had to look up and ask what some things were, luckily I have a friend who is very into politics. But the writing is brilliant, for anyone who likes politics or reads fiction about political decisions will love this.
The beginning for me was a little slow but as I say for me, I like a fast pace. So what is the book about? The Minister for Personal Information Dvoracek has committed suicide at his desk, or it looks like suicide, could it be murder? The Prime Minister Ewan MacLellan, appoints Harry Colbey as the new Minister for Personal Information. Harry has been a back bencher for years so when he gets the call from the PrimeMinister saying “Come here” he thinks he has done something wrong, he certainly hadn’t expected to be offered the dead ministers job. Before Dvoracek had killed himself he had been on a bender, he had also phoned a number of ministers asking them to vote for his bill that was coming up in front of parliament, but he had switched some of the legislation. But why? When appointed the Prime Minister asks Harry to keep an eye open for the late ministers little black book, but if he finds it he is not to look inside, but why?
Esme Kanha is Chief Whip, she doesn’t seem keen on Harry Colbey and the feeling appears mutual. But Kanha is suspicious of Dvoracek’s death. As the story progresses both Colbey and Kanha start working together especially when Colbey realises the PM is using him to pass a bill that will allow a company known as Alcheminna Systems to access everyone’s lives with their sophisticated technology.
London is a City that has the most CCTV cameras placed everywhere, add to that people who now have Ring doorbells or similar, then all the technology that has built in cameras or GPS. Then make it that all this technology can hear and see everything you say and do, as well as know what you are thinking about even when asleep and you have what Alcheminna Systems has, a very Orwellian system.
If Colbey can get Dvoracek’s part added to the new legislation and get it passed through Parliament it will stop Henri Lauvaux the owner of Alcheminna Systems invading people’s privacy. But it will take some clever manipulations to get it through, but with Kanha’s help they might just make it.
The tension did build as you got nearer to the end. The characters were well written, Harry Colbey at times comes across as quite misogynistic, and a little boring, his wife of 30 years is expected to remove the toast rack from the breakfast table, (I mean he does have hands so why couldn’t he move it himself?) so that he can open his newspaper fully, was it just what they had agreed or had done for 30 years it’s clear they are no longer in love with each other, the marriage is failing, she will never be happy with whatever Colbey gives her she will always want more, so maybe it’s on both of them. I liked Esme Kanha as a character she had been chief whip for a longtime so to go against the prime minister was hard for her, she also couldn’t give anything away, keeping her facial expression neutral, especially when she is suspected of leaking information.
Overall this is a very interesting read, everything is well developed, the characters are all believable, the plot is very believable especially with technology as it is now, imagine what it will be like in another 10 years maybe less. This is definitely for anyone who likes political fiction. Who knows how it all works. It will be interesting to see where the characters go next.

Dirty Geese by Lou Gilmond is an intriguing look at a potential near future where surveillance has put power into the hands of those never meant to have such power. It becomes especially dark when you realize just how close we are to such a world.
I think what appealed to me the most, other than the cautionary aspect of it, was the way I didn't need to be particularly well-versed in either the political structures or the technology. With regard to the politics, we learn what the various departments/ministries do as the story progresses, we don't have to know much about how the actual government currently operates to understand the story. The technology is not really what is front and center, but rather the results of such far-reaching technology. That lets the reader concentrate on the situations without questioning whether such things are currently possible or, in their opinion, even possible. In other words, we can suspend disbelief and let the story unfold for us.
There were a few sections I didn't seem to enjoy reading as much as the others, though I can't put my finger on it. I don't feel it dragged, the slower parts were necessary for establishing characters or relationships. The writing was consistently good. But there were sections that just didn't flow so well for me. Fortunately, they were few and far between and nothing that hampered the story. I'll acknowledge the possibility that I might simply have been too tired or distracted while reading them.
Highly recommended for readers who like novels that take place in the near future and give a glimpse of what might come to pass if we aren't careful.

The engaging writing grabbed my attention from the get go and the more I read, the more I needed to know! Gilmond paints a terrifyingly real picture; it’s chilling in how realistic it is!
I grew attached to Esme and Harry and enjoyed my time getting to know these characters. Esme is Chief-Whip and known for her no-nonsense approach as she wrangles everyone in place. She’s worked hard to get where she is and is keen to climb the political ladder. Harry is newly appointed, in tragic circumstances, as Minister for Personal Information. It’s a big step up for him and he’s no idea of the corruption and power struggles he’s walking into!
It’s incredibly well researched and feels authentic as it catapults the reader in to the deep inner circle of the political machine illuminating the pressures, the privilege, the strategy and personal agendas in play – I was gripped!
As suspicions increase and manipulations and lies stack up, Esme and Harry join forces taking matters into their own hands. I really enjoyed their cloak and dagger approach as they try to uncover the truth. Who can they trust? Who’s complicit in what they discover? Gilmond expertly reels the reader in for the dark revelations to come!
The compelling storyline shows how scarce privacy is in a society where technology monitors everything. It’s a taut and tense read and the danger’s palpable – I couldn’t put it down!
Dirty Geese is a superb political thriller with twists and suspense that keep you hooked. I’m excited to see where Esme and Harry take us next!

Set some time in our troubled future this political thriller hits the ground running with the violent and unexpected death of a member of parliament, with Harry Colbey, his successor immediately rushed into post, it would seem that order has been restored as Colbey is seen as a safe replacement. However, with a strict a strict moral code, Colbey soon discovers that there are plans afoot which will alter the course of AI information sharing. Meanwhile chief whip Esme Kanha is also having grave doubts about the integrity of her political colleagues.
What then follows is a fast action political thriller whic takes the concept of a corrupt government and runs with it until its exciting conclusion. I enjoyed all the clever political innuendo and even though this is set in a somewhat futuristic environment there is no doubt that AI intelligence is frighteningly with us with its capabilities of doing exactly what this book suggests, namely interfering in all aspects of our personal life along with the wider implications for our social and political world.
This is the first book in a trilogy of books featuring Esme Kanha and Harry Colbey, I’m looking forward to reading them and also being on the blog tour for Divinity Games in July.

Once you start reading this page-turner of a novel, I’m sure you’ll read to the end. Then, when you’ve finished, I wouldn’t be surprised if you walked into the garden and smashed your smart phone with a rock.
Lou Gilmond’s Dirty Geese is more than a cracking near-future political thriller. The story takes us into and behind the UK government’s corridors of power in the Palace of Westminster with fascinating details of life and work in the House of Commons. At its core is a brilliant plot, which reveals the threat that the unchecked use of artificial intelligence by global mega-companies poses for the privacy of every citizen.
As the author notes, “all the characters, companies, political parties, websites and events included in Dirty Geese are entirely fictional, but the technology in the book is not – either it already exists or someone, somewhere in the world, is working to bring it into being.”
You don’t need to know anything about politics to be thoroughly entertained by this novel and, meanwhile, Gilmond’s well-research insights will cause you to look at your e-devices with different eyes.

Wow this was a fabulous political thriller that I raced through. I’m not usually a fan of politics and I must admit I did have to Google a few terms (just because of my ignorance) but I like books where I actually learn something. What attracted me to this one is the near future and AI aspect. AI is becoming an increasing popular topic in novels and I can’t get enough of it personally. I love the Big Brother concept and was very invested in the idea of a big corporation invading peoples privacy and the government trying to make it legal. We all know politics goes hand in hand with corruption and this novel very much highlights this.
Dirty Geese is very well researched and very well written. The pace kept my interest and I’m really pleased to see its book 1 of a series. I do love a trope where a duo have to work together for the greater good despite what they think of each other! and Esme and Harry certainly fit the bill. What I also found quite chilling was how plausive and real the whole novel was. I really enjoyed this one.

Dirty Geese is my first read by the author and it had me hooked from the beginning. Gilmond's writing style is flawless and very detailed. As a reader, it definitely helped me to understand the politics better.
After the Minister for Personal Information, Dvoracek commits suicide, Harry Colbey is appointed as the new minister. Esme is the Chief Whip and is very suspicious of Dvoracke's death.
I absolutely loved Esme's character and really enjoyed watching the relationship between Esme and Harry. They put their deference aside and work together to investigate Dvoracek's death.
Dirty Geese is a well researched, brilliantly written fast paced political thriller. I can not wait to read the next installment.

I enjoy watching thrillers but rarely read them as I've found the pace/plot trajectory can come at the expense of effective characterisation. What I loved about this author's writing was the combination of a page-turning plot and intriguing characters I wanted to know more about. The AI theme is believable and ultimately terrifying. A thriller based on a contemporary issue, interesting characters and great writing - this was a rare and perfect read in this genre for me .

An intriguing speculative political thriller with some great characters and a quirky feel to it.
Set in a UK falling ever further under surveillance it has a prescient effect on you as you read you could easily imagine the events in this fiction unfolding into reality.
Lots of shenanigans, a great page turner.

This is a brilliant political thriller. It was thoroughly gripping. The character development was excellent drawing me in so that I was fully invested in their fates. The topic is so prescient and thought provoking. I would highly recommend this book.

Dirty Geese is a non-stop near-future political thriller in which the public right to privacy runs smack into the greed and control of dirty politicians and technologies that go far beyond any ‘big brother’ previously imagined.
If you are looking for a fast, engaging read with plenty of action and ethical dilemmas to engage your little grey cells in ways that may keep you up at night, you’ll surely enjoy Dirty Geese.
As the first book in the Kanha and Colbey Thriller series, here’s to more from the mind of Gilmond!

When Mrs Joyce Newbury brings her boss, Percy Dvořáček, his morning coffee and warmed up chocolate muffin, it’s not received as positively as usual. Possibly because the British minister for personal information has a large hole in the back of his head and is quite dead. The apparent cause? Death by suicide with an antique pistol.

Loved this! Gripping and topical political thriller
I absolutely loved this book. It’s totally gripping with a pacey plot, believable, real characters and a premise that is both topical and chilling. Great writing too and you are immediately transported into the world of politics and power games and then caught up in a race against time. Highly recommended.
