Ms Mitchell is one of my favourite authors and sometimes I wish she was more prolific, then they say good things come to those that wait. This is the third in the Flesh and Blood series and it was a belter.

The Miller family has had some battles over the years and catching up with them again sees them having some good fortune but as always there's a downside. The family dynamics are unsettled too with Babs being in prison, without her there's no-one to keep the girls in check and boy do they need her!

If you're a fan of Emmy Ellis, Kerry Kaya and Marnie Riches you'll definitely enjoy Ms Mitchells work

Thanks to the author Ms Mitchell, Netgalley and Hodder & Soughton Publishers

This is book 3 in this trilogy and yet again Dreda Say Mitchell has written an excellent book . I loved this and while you could read this as a stand-alone I would recommend you read the first two in the trilogy before this one . If you’re a fan of Martina Cole and kimberley Chambers and enjoy gritty underworld crime thrillers these books are for you.

This is the third book in the "Blood" series, and having read all of them in order before reading Blood daughter, I must implore you to do the same. The story line continues from book 1 to the last book - Blood daughter, and you will miss a lot of references if you only read book 3.
I've read East End crime fiction since I've been very young, and this author can consider herself one of the queens of crime fiction. Well done!!!!

The third book in this series of books finds the Miller family mum Babs and sisters Dee,Jen and Tiffany at loggerheads when Babs wants to give them a share out from the sale of two properties,but with Babs behind bars there is little she can do to stop the sisters from tearing the family apart.Throw into the mix a gold bullion raid that is carried out by Kieren who Babs raised as her own son and once you again you get a good old gritty east end thriller which DSM is adept at writing.Although not as good as the first two books in the series this one is still an excellent addition to the trilogy with a surprising ending i never saw coming,An excellent 4 star read and i look forward to the 4th book in the series.

This is the third book in the Miller Trilogy, coming back into the present day and all the trials and tribulations of the Millers. I loved these books as they kept me engrossed from page 1 of book one, right to the final letter of the third!

This book is centred around the daughters and the story enfolds, drama, lies. the trials and tribulations are laid bare of this normal,(or are they?) family.
was gutted to end these books and am impatiently waiting for more from Dreda! cannit wait to see whats in store for the family I have grown so fond of!
martina cole fans, this is for you too@ thanks Dreda love the books!

I knew that the end to this trilogy was going to be good, however I didn't realise just HOW good it would be!

First off this is part of a trilogy, could you read as a standalone? Well yes, but I absolutely don’t see the point. I think what makes this last part of the trilogy so good is the conclusion. Books one gives us perspectives of sisters Tiff and Jen Miller, and book 2 takes you back 40 years and we see their Mother Babs Miller take center stage. Book 3 is the culmination of all that has gone on in the previous 2 books and is every bit as brilliant as I thought it would be. We see all the characters make a return each with their own thread to the story. Babs, the two girls Jen and Tiff as well as half -sister Dee are all back with a bang as well as other characters that are just as important including Kieran Scott, John Black and Flo.

It seems from the very beginning of this book that each character has their own agenda. Not only that, but DSM has created characters that just jump out of the page at you. These women are feisty, scared if nothing and every bit as cunning as a man could be. When Babs announces she has property which she wants to use to help all her kids, it doesn’t have quite the desired effect and instead seems to be the catalyst for World War 3. There was one element of the story I didn’t see coming and initially wondered if the author had made a huge mistake, but on reflection it was totally the right move.

The book doesn’t let up and once you start it’s like a freight train and it’s extremely hard to jump off! There are a huge number of bombshells dropped throughout the story and before I knew it I was nearing the final leg. What I loved about this last part of the trilogy especially was the all-out war, and the battle for all the women to try and come together once again. By the time I got to the end I was gutted the read was over and if I’m 100% honest would happily read all about the Millers again. Why? Well for a start the last chapter was brilliant and frankly it wasn’t what I was expecting. Also there are a new generation of Millers that have huge potential for being part of a newer set of books that I think would be hugely entertaining.

I have always been a huge fan of Dreda’s and must say I always thought the Gangster Girl books were great, however having read this trilogy and now having finished this latest book I feel like the Miller books have taken precedence. For all the Kimberley Chambers, Jessie Keane and Mandasue Heller fans out there, do yourself a favour and buy the trilogy…I promise…you won’t regret it!

This is a first for me from this author and I wasn't disappointed, I loved it. A fast moving storyline with many twists and turns, the author really reels you in. It's a must read for people who like to read this genre. I will be looking at reading some more of her work!!! If you like Martina Cole or Kimberley Chambers then you will love Dreda Say Mitchell

I know when I pick up a book by Dreda Say Mitchell I'm in for a real treat, Blood Daughter takes the reader on a journey through the seedier side of life, the criminal underworld, dysfunctional families, a world where violence is an every day occurrence. Although you could probably read this book as a standalone I would recommend you read the first two books in the series first Blood Sister and Blood Mother, not only because it's a really gritty series but there's a hell of a back story to the Miller family.

In many ways the characters are the typical stereotypes I have come to expect in this type of crime book, but the author has expertly created an array of characters with big personalities that make them unforgettable. I thought things couldn't get any worse for the miller’s but boy was I wrong. Mum Bab’s and daughters Dee, Jen and Tiff have all had their fair share of life throwing them a duff hand, things appear to be on the up when Bab’s comes into some money and tells her daughters she's going to share it with them, you would think all their problems would be over, but hell no, as the saying goes “money is the root of all evil” and it's not long before the once close family are at war.



Blood Daughter won't be to everyone’s taste as it's punctuated with choice language, but it's very much in keeping with the characters, some of the subjects touched on may make some readers feel uncomfortable, prostitution, violence and debt are just a few that come to mind. In the author's defence Blood Daughters is a very gritty and entertaining read and if like me you enjoy what I personally call “grit lit” authentic characters, settings and story lines that depict the shadier side of life, then I would highly recommend this book.

Blood Daughter by Dreda Say Mitchell.
They say blood is thicker than water.
That's not going to stop it being spilled.
Life hasn't been easy for the Miller family. Finally, mum Babs has had one bit of luck. She plans to share the profits with her daughters. She thought they'd be pleased...
But money always causes trouble, especially when it's desperately needed. Jen wants to make a better life for her kids. Tiff owes a lot of bad men a lot of money. And Dee is worried that her husband is getting back into the criminal life.As the sisters fall out, a gold bullion heist brings more opportunities - and many more dangers. None of them are giving up without a fight...
This was a good read with good characters. I liked the story too. 4*. Netgalley and holder and Stoughton.

Absoulute blinding end to a fabulous trilogy. I love all Dredas books, I'm a massive fan and have been for many years, she has a way that connects with the reader unlike so many others.
The Flesh and Blood triolgy tells the tale of the Millers, based in the East End,
spanning over many years. Blood Daughter is the last in series and is my favourite out the three. It can be read as a stand alone but I'd recommend reading Blood Mother and Blood Sister first as they too are ace.

dreda is one talented lady so love this series babs one feisty lady her daughters a pain in ass stan not so nice this book is another cant put down read is sad and funny to and good twists you don't see coming hope not the end of this series

i've had the pleasure of reading alot of this author's books so was excited to read this third instalment. many thanks to netgalley and the publishers for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

the series of the miller family is like rejoining old friends. the sisters are all so different but you can't help but like them with Babs, the mum and head of the family trying to keep control of them all. there is family arguments, jealousy, greed, laughter and sadness and enemy flo miller rears her head. another great instalment and enjoyable read!

Have been waiting to read this book for ages and I wasn't disappointed. Really good story following on from the first two in the series, full of tension, but would be best to read the others first. Felt the ending a little rushed.

Before I say anything else, I have to say this is certainly the best book in this series. I have loved all 3 of them, but this by far is a clear winner in my eyes. I want to shout and scream and let everyone know how good it is, I think everyone everywhere should read this series.
​DSM can certainly write a bloody good book, this one had me gripped from the first to the very last page.
​I was getting a little concerned towards the end of the book that I was going to have unanswered questions, but I didn't, I don't know why I worried, because Dreda managed to answer them all, I loved how it all come together, how things were pieced and fell into place and I loved the big surprise right at the end. Bravo, awesomely put together.

​It was great being back with the Miller family. And going through the book, It became quite worrying as to who you could and couldn't trust. Who can you go to when you are in need of desperate help if it's not your own family.
I think I have enjoyed each and every one of these strong female characters in these books,  especially loved Dee, and could often picture her kissing her teeth with a certain look on her face. I could imagine her is some of her way out crazy outfits.
​I think every character in this book was brilliantly thought out, I feel like I have been on one hell of a journey with them. And I know they are only fictional characters, but getting to know them so well over 3 books, I feel I should be saying 'I'd like to wish them well in their futures.
​I would love maybe at a later date to see some more of the Miller family, maybe in a few years time a catch up with what is going on in life would be brilliant.

​All Dreda Say Mitchell's  books are fantastic and anyone who enjoys reading books by Kimberley Chambers would certainly enjoy these.
​I really cannot praise this series of books enough.

Many thanks to Net Galley for my copy. This is the third book in the Flesh and Blood series and definitely the best! Good to reunite with Babs and the Miller family for this latest installment. Dreda delivers all in this tale, murder, family tensions, robbery, kidnapping and betrayal. Another superb read from one of my favourite authors.
