A classic ‘gangland’ tale, I have never read any of the authors previous books so was unsure as to what to expect but wasn’t disappointed
Set in the fictional Mainshill Estate in Glasgow this is a story that started fast and kept you in the thick of the action all the way through
The characters were for me easy to visualise and so the film in my head of the book never stopped as I was taken page by page into a world of crime, families, drugs, poverty and desperation.....alongside this runs another story of revenge and the past catching you up and it all ties in together making for a tense and dramatic ending
If you love this genre you will devour this book as quick as you can and if you haven’t read any ‘gangland’ before this is a great book to get you started

10/10

5☆ An Unputdownable,  Gritty and Suspenseful Gang-Lit Thriller!

Wow what a start to a book. Three Gruesome Murders within the first few Chapters!

The Housewife is a gritty read full of secrets, dangerous liaisons and twists galore and it hooks you in from the very start.

There's so much going on with this book, so many juicy twists and character plots they weave together seamlessly.
I'm not going to go into the plot for risk of spoiling it but what I will say is this book is set around several characters stories each story complex, dangerous and Thrilling, you can't help become embroiled in the underbelly of their lives.

Kane is one of my favourite Gang-Lit Authors and she never disappoints. Her books are always exceptional, Highly Compelling, Gritty and Suspenseful.
The Housewife was an unputdownable read and if you adore Gang-Lit Thrillers, then I highly recommend you grab a Copt ASAP!

The Housewife is the latest standalone gangland thriller from Alex Kane, set in and around the city of Glasgow, Scotland. The prologue begins with an unidentified woman being buried alive by an anonymous perpetrator. She manages to make a run for it but he is onto her before she can get away. She realises she's a dead woman. He is determined to make her pay for her past sins. Meanwhile, Terry Reid, aka The Bossman, the most notorious, feared gangster in Glasgow is on the rampage and hellbent on avenging those who have done him wrong in the past. Alongside him his trusted driver, business partner and confidant Richie Jackson, Terry had tracked down drug dealing rival Frankie Conway who was out for a stroll with his bodyguard on a warm Sunday morning near to Govanhill park. Terry shoots him three times in the head before turning the gun on his minder. Frankie had gotten involved with Terry’s fiancee, Kora Anderson, when he had been out of the country and it was all caught on CCTV from Terry’s nightclub. Kora had it all as Terry's significant other: a stunning, sprawling mansion with a pool and all of the luxury designer clothing, bags and shoes a lady could want, so it was killing Terry to know she had been sleeping around behind his back, but the fact that it was with his sworn enemy made it even more unbearable. Elsewhere, the Whitelaw family - 22-year-old Lee, 16-year-old Maisie and Freddie - have grown up on the dangerous Mainhill Estate with their heroin addict parents Rosie and Cammy. Maisie has just discovered she's pregnant by 20-year-old Galzo, but Terry is in no mood for compassion, that's if he's even capable of feeling empathy, and believes it's high time their debts were paid. Meanwhile, Leah Martin, mum to 10-year-old Samuel and wife to Thomas, is on a night out at The Balness Inn pub.

She makes a drunken confession in front of the group of friends she was playing a game of Never Have I Ever... with. She admits she's dabbled in drugs, specifically speed, and this shocks her girlfriends. Leah can't shake the feeling someone is watching her in the pub. The drugs admittal leads to an even bigger, more deadly shocking secret. She claims to have stolen £20,000 and the owner of that money wants it back. Elsewhere, 32-year-old Annie Wicks is knocking back vodka when a mysterious stranger, who claims to own the place, begins to talk to her. It's Terry. They're both instantly attracted to one another and he asks her back to his place along with his friends to continue the merriment after sharing a kiss in the bar. Each of these people has dark, sinister secrets that are ready to send them to hell in a handbasket, so who will survive the cull? This is a scintillating and enthralling read right from the start with plenty of exciting developments and a real feeling of being caught up in Terry's thirst for revenge. It's gritty gangland crime at its best and with several equally interesting plot threads, you find once you've picked it up there's no putting down. It's a story full of intense drama with imminent danger seemingly lurking around every corner. There's an endless array of tested loyalties, betrayals, murder, double-crosses, alliances and shifting allegiances and there is violence and tension as the plot races along barely giving you a moment to breathe; for the majority of the time my heart was simply pounding, and I noticed myself turning the pages more and more rapidly and anxiously. A cracking, fast-paced gangland crime thriller with a palpably tense atmosphere, an action-packed plot and the setting of the Estate which draws you in instantly. More please, Alex!

Alex Kane has done it again and delivered a top notch gangland crime novel that I couldn’t get enough of.

This is an author who knows how to create strong female leads. The story flicks between Leah and Annie. Both women have something from their past that they are hiding and I was desperate to know just what these secrets were. Whatever it is, it is obvious that it is leading these two women into something very serious.

All I can say is buckle up those seat belts as boy are you in for one thrilling ride! There is something about gangland crime that is both scary but exhilarating at the same time. These are people you do not want to cross and the tension throughout was electrifying to see what outcome was in store for these characters.

I didn’t think the author could top her previous book but with The Housewife she has yet again knocked the ball straight out of the park. Alex Kane is an author who has really found her niche in this genre and for me is up there with the likes of Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers. Without a doubt she has vast become one my favourite authors and her books are some of my most anticipated reads. If you haven’t read any yet, then what are you waiting for?

My thanks to Hera Books for an advanced readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.

My first book by Alex Kane - and I sincerely hope it's not my last!

Leah is the perfect mum, wife and head of the PTA. On the surface a fine, upstanding member of the community - but her closet is stacked with skeletons. Annie is a gangster's moll and one who is happy to work and play in his world, even to the extent of getting her hands dirty - but she has a secret eating away at her. Terry is the gangster boss and rules his gangland with a rod of iron but every man has a weakness and his is women. As all their lives collide, expect fireworks . . .

Wow! This is one of those books that, just when you think you've got a grip on things, you turn the page and realise you really haven't. There is so much happening that my brain really didn't have space to ponder over events as I was too busy just keeping up. Glasgow is my local city which gave this one added bite for me. Great characters, expertly developed with a gripping storyline plus lots of threads twisted together made this a stimulating and vibrant read and, as I reached the final page, a very rewarding one too. Definitely recommended and easily earning all five sparkling stars!

DFN 21%

Very sorry to say I couldn't get into this book and had to give up reading 20 something percent in.
This book has so many great reviews that I guess the fact that I gave up is due to a wrong choice I made in requesting it and false expectations I got reading the blurb.
I love psychological thriller, but I didn't expect to be immersed in "gangland scenario", surrounded by thugs, lowlives, drug dealers and users. That was not for me at all.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book . Thank you

[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been a fan of Alex’s work for a little while now. In fact I have been a fan ever since she released her first book called ‘No Looking Back’ in 2019. Since then I have read, reviewed and loved each and every book that she has released. I read the synopsis for ‘The Housewife’ and it certainly sounded like the gritty, dark and fast paced story I have come to expect from Alex. I wasn’t to be disappointed because I absolutely loved ‘The Housewife’ but more about that in a bit.
It took me next to no time to get into this book. In fact I was drawn into the story from the moment I clapped eyes on the cover and read the synopsis. As soon as I started to read, that was it. I knew that I would be unable to put this book down at all. It was as if the book had developed a hold over me and it was a hold that I wasn’t willing to break. My Kindle wasn’t exactly glued to my hand but it might as well have been because it travelled everywhere with me. I was intrigued by the characters and by the storylines and I had to keep reading to see what happened. I finished reading ‘The Housewife’ within a single day, which is pretty good for me.
‘The Housewife’ is superbly written but then I have come to expect nothing less from Alex Kane. She certainly knows how to grab your attention from the start and draws you into what proves to be a compelling read. ‘The Housewife’ hits the ground running and maintains a fast pace throughout. Reading ‘The Housewife’ felt like being on one hell of a scary and unpredictable rollercoaster ride with several twists and turns along the way. I found ‘The Housewife’ to be a gritty, scary and gripping read, which kept me guessing and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.
In short, I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘The Housewife’ and I would recommend this book to other readers. I will certainly be reading more of Alex’s work in the future. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.

[Yvonne · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fabulous crime thriller story that involves three main characters as well as a handful of secondary ones. The story revolves around the gangland scene in an area in Glasgow. An area where drugs are rife and lives are not lived, people just exist.

The author has woven such a brilliant story that focuses on Leah, a mother who has a secret that she is desperate to keep hidden from her son and husband. Annie has stepped away from her life and into that of the girlfriend of gangland crime boss Terry. Terry is the third main character, the boss who is not averse to breaking the law to maintain control of his area.

This is such an addictive read as I was drawn further into the three storylines. Throughout the story, I was taken into the murk and grime of an inner-city housing estate. The author built a picture of deprivation and drug addiction. There is one however who has seen what drugs do and steers clear of using and wants a better life.

Using to of the characters, the author has injected a secretive edge, it is one that kept me so intrigued as I desperately wanted to work out the connection. When that was eventually dropped I was shocked. Definitely a "I never saw that coming" moment.

I really enjoyed how quickly I was taken into the lives and the story. It is gritty as I was taken into the drug world from both the user and the dealer. As well as those who are involved through association. The stories are brilliantly worked and had a tense3 filled edge to them. A fabulous story from start to finish and it is one for those who love their crime thrillers on the dark and gritty side. I would definitely recommend it.

[Tracy ann Robinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

i love this authors books but i think this is her best one yet the story pulls you in from page 1 .and you feel as though you are in each room with the characters in the book. the story is based on three people .Leah who ran away with her son and built a new life with her husband Thomas but she took something and they want it back . Annie who becomes the gangster moll but is hiding her past from Terry is the king of Glasgow underworld with his partner Ritchie they all keeping secrets but you could say Lee is a bog character in the book he will do anything to get his sister Masie of the estate from the drugs and his family he has a big heart the twists and turns is brilliant i so hope she carry s on with gangster crime as she so good at it i so so recommend this book

The Housewife by Alex Kane

Twisted twisty tale of gangland violence, love, and betrayal with secrets and lies and surprises for more than one in this story I was gripped by from beginning to end. The story takes place over a ten-year span and flips between the past and present. This is not one of my favorite ways to have a story told but, in this case, it made for riveting reading.

What I liked:
* The dark gritty reality of the characters in the story.
* Knowing that this way of life is all too real for many.
* The unpredictability of it all.
* Not knowing who to trust…if anyone.
* Wondering if anyone would come out okay in the end.
* The writing, plot and ultimate outcome.
* Being invested in the story.
* Wondering about the backstories of some of the characters.
* It made me think and care.
* Knowing that I have never and will never be in a story like this one…except when I read one.

What I didn’t like:
* Knowing that children are born into lives like some in this book and the choices they make or are pushed into making.
* The people that I was meant not to like.
* Knowing that there will probably never be a time without gangsters, drug dealers, murderers and all the rest.

Did I enjoy this story? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes

Thank you to NetGalley and Hera Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.

The Mainhill estate Glasgow,
This is one slap bang read that I loved right through.
Terry Reid business man strong and powerful is known as The Bossman.
He put's a bullet through Frankie Conway's skull, a lowlife he deserves everything coming, what Terry's fiancee Kora Anderson has done was there in black and white on CCTV, she was a liar and she also deserves everything coming to her.
Richie Jackson and his team would soon get rid he and Terry had been mates for years.
The Whitelaw family, Maisie, Lee and Freddie, grow up on the estate with their druggy parents and pregnant Maisie but Reid wants debts payed up.
Leah Martin confesses at the Balness Inn a mum's night out that she stole twenty grand a drunk confession that she will live to regret, and Annie Wicks turns Terry's head its definitely love.
With a shot load of massive twists, and character connections, you will get goose bumps reading this book, I'm telling you now its a must read, all on it's own

[Ceri Evans · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am completely fascinated by gangs and gang culture. I am always left amazed and wondering about what level of research goes into creating these types of novels, as if they are well done, like this one is, the narrative appears authentic and realistic. The scenarios and events of the book, which relate to dark themes including: murder, lies, secrets and crime, seem very far removed from most people’s every day experience. Yet, due to the skill of Alex’s writing, I was able to visualise Glasgow, the Mainhill estate and all the goings on there, quite easily.
This is definitely, in many ways, a character driven story. The characters jump off the page and spring to life so clearly. I could imagine many of them being people I crossed the street to avoid. However, that’s not to say they weren’t fantastic characters to read about and get to know. My favourite character was definitely Annie, who brings a whole new perspective and flavour to the book when she is introduced. She appears to be someone who is very together and knows her own mind. She is clearly comfortable within the criminal underworld, and she shows promise by appearing courageous and clever. I loved the way she handled the animosity she faced as a result of being the ‘only girl in the gang’. But what exactly is she hiding, when she tells us she is not willing to “lay all her cards on the table?”
Alex uses lots of tools to ensure the pace established at the beginning of the novel is maintained. One way this is done to switch between the four different main characters/households: Annie, Terry, Leah who are all mentioned in the blurb but siblings Lee, Freddie and Maisie also play quite an important role in the book. She also uses short chapters with cliff-hanger endings, plus experimenting with the use of messages and letters to build tension and maintain pace. The pace is also developed by the fact that many of the characters are trying to run away from their past.
There are obviously some very dark and shocking scenes in the book, but Alex Kane is careful to pepper the book with examples of humanity, humour and loyalty too. Some of the scenes shared between Maisie and her siblings, as well as Leah and her husband Tom, and elements towards the end, I found quite touching. Although, of course, there is always an undercurrent of tension.
This has definitely been a book which I have struggled to put down. Filled with wonderfully complex characters, all tackling demons in their own ways, plus shocking twists and explosive confrontations, this has definitely been a gripping and spectacular read. I am so excited to read more by this author!

[Steph Sheppard · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's always a good day when you have a new Alex Kane to read, isn't it?! I've read everything from this author and I read this in more or less one sitting hence the need for the matchsticks that I needed the next day to keep my eyes open. #TheHousewife is set in a rather rough and ready scheme called Mainshill estate in Glasgow. I knew schemes exactly like Mainshill in the late 80's and 90's, they were chock full of drugs (and yes drugs were sold from the ice cream vans), gangs with a good peppering of murder and violence, thankfully most have changed for the better.

The Mainshill estate is ruled by Terry Reid aka The Bossman alongside his driver and trusted sidekick, Ritchie Jackson. There's no drugs. guns or people trafficked on the streets of the scheme without those two having their sticky little mitts somewhere along the food chain, let's not be fooled into thinking he's just some tin pot gangster, Terry owns casinos and clubs along with several other legal and not so legal businesses. The Bossman doesn't share when he finds out that a rival has been getting up close and personal with one of his most prized "possessions" retribution needs to be done brutally and swiftly.

Annie Wicks is sitting in the pub knocking back the vodka being watched by Terry, catches his eye and sparks fly between them and before we know it she's turned into Griselda Blanco Restrepo aka the Black Widow, a Columbian Cocaine Medellin Cartel. Ritchie isn't happy that Annie seems to have gotten under Terrys skin and has been brought into the fold to the extant that she has.

As always I'm impatiently awaiting the next book, fingers crossed it's not too long of a wait. I'm a big fan of the short chapters that lull you into a gentle rhythm of thinking that you'll only read one more chapter, yeah right. #TheHousewife is chock-a-block full of twists, turns, secrets and lies, everyone has something that they are hiding, something that could cost them dearly, Alex Kane is fast climbing up my list of favourite authors in this particular genre and I think that there's a few successful authors who should be looking over their shoulders and taking note. If you read Martina Cole, Mandasue Heller and Emma Tallon these books will tick all the right boxes.

Read for an honest review. Thank you to Alex Kane, #Netgalley and Hera Books

Even perfect mothers have secrets…

Leah. She’s the perfect mum to ten-year-old Samuel, wife to loving husband Thomas, head of the PTA. But her closet is full of skeletons - and if the truth gets out, her world could be destroyed.

Annie. She’s the gangster’s moll with a brain. She might be a woman, but she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty to play the men at their own game. But what no one knows is the devastating secret haunting her.

Terry. He’s the king of Glasgow gangland, working his way up from estate to mansion. From drugs to guns, there’s nothing he won’t stop at to grow his dirty money. He might be a hard man, but his weakness is women.

As their three stories collide, the lives of each will never be the same. Because even perfect women hide dark secrets… Don’t they?


My Review

We open with someone being buried alive and trying to crawl out but the dirt keeps coming! Ooft nice shock opener. Meet Terry, gangster boss who keeps a tight leash on what is it, respect is earned and disrespected dealt with, harshly. We have two leading ladies in the book and flip between both, Annie seemingly comes from nowhere into Terry's life and fits in perfectly. Leah is miles away from the estate life and living with her hubby and 10 year old son Samuel. She has the PTA, drinks with the girls and a pretty tidy/nice life. As with all these types of books, everyone has secrets and things they need to hide but some are worse than others and some you just cannot outrun!

A lot of the scenes take place in the murkier parts so we see neglect, manipulation, drugs, coercion, shady and bad characters oh and murder of course! The book setting is Mainshill Estate in Glasgow, Mainshill Estate is fictional but absolutely drawn from real estates and if you are familiar with Glasgow then there are places you will absolutely recognise, see inspired Mainshill.

We see a glimpse of some of the darker side of humanity, the chapters are quite short and Kane creates a small world of dodgies, crime/gangsters and those who hang off their coat tails wanting a piece of the pie, ruled by them and the world they live in. 4/5 for me this time, perfect escapism with some shade, violence and stepping into a world of hardened criminals and some right dodgy biscuits :D

[Kim · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a gripping book, I couldn't put it down.

Set in Scotland The Mainhill estate is notorious for crime. Terry Reid is the gangland boss who nearly everybody works for and has his fingers in many pies. His right-hand man is Ritchie the pair go back a long way and their trust is 100%.
Whilst sitting in one of his many bars Terry meets a beautiful lady Annie, he is immediately smitten by her but Ritchie is suspicious of her and doesn't give her the same welcome, which causes conflict.

We also meet Leah who is the complete opposite of the other characters, she runs a jewelry business and is head of the PTA at her son Samuel's school, she is married to Thomas but she has a major secret that even her husband knows nothing about.

This book is full of twists and turns lies and deceit. The characters are great and likeable, the setting is well described so you can imagine where you are reading about helping you enjoy the book even more.
It's a cracking gangland book with some vicious moments.
Well done Alex Kane for writing such a brilliant and enjoyable book, you're a very clever lady.

So glad I found this book and realised I hadn’t read it yet! Genuinely didn’t want to put it down. Even though we were following the stories of several characters, clear and concise all the way through. Even though Terry was a ‘bad un’ I couldn’t help but like him also and strangely feel sorry for him 🤔.

This is my first Alex Kane novel, but it won’t be my last.
As you’re reading, what appears to be a parallel timeline is actually 10 years apart. At one point I thought Maisie may have been Leah and Samuel was Gareth, but I quickly dismissed that. I was surprised that “gangster girl”Annie was in fact Leah. I see why she acted the way she did. This book kept me guessing up to the end.
