This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

Another superb instalment to the Ruby Darke seris.
This author does not dissapoint, each and every book is a thrilling gangland read. One you really do get lost in once you start.
Superb following the life of Kit, Ruby's son. I would say this may be ok for a standalone read, but if you are anything like me then the back stories from the other books make it a far better read. it's a personal choice but i do recommend reading these in order.

One of the best books in this catagory, i have just read this for a second time to refresh myself on the series.

it was as good the second time as it was the first. \Having a reading blitz and catching up on series is proving to be a great choice for me, i love these books.

As usual Jessie has you hooked from the first page. Totally gripped from start it finish with a few twists and turns read this book in one sitting. Highly recommended

Well I have to say initially when I read the opening chapters, I wondered whether Jessie Keane had maybe made a bit of a bold error, however having now finished the book I can safely say I am talking rubbish! This book which is number 3 in the series featuring Ruby Darke was released in January and is an absolutely brilliant addition to this series. I have very recently got myself up to date with this series and because of that I went straight into this book without even reading the synopsis.For people who just happen to pick this book up, I guess you could read it as a standalone, but for me the history and development of the characters is just too important and too damn good a read to miss, so do yourself a favour and start with book 1.Ruby along with her son Kit and her daughter Daisy are all at a new point in their life and things seem to be on the up, oh yes....until about 2 chapters in when it all comes crashing down. This book literally gives you no time to settle and throws everything and it's dog under the bus! I was gripped and once again didn't put this down until I literally was forced to. I won't repeat other reviews which detail the story, however what I will say is that this book is pacey, enthralling and an absolute gem of a series. Jessie Keane has always been an extremely talented author, but I love the fact she has matched (and maybe surpassed) expectations with the Ruby Darke series against her previous and very well loved series featuring Annie Carter. Sadly I now only have one standalone book left of Jessie Keanes unread so I guess I will save that one up for a special occassion (does anyone else do that?)

This is already the 3rd book in the Ruby Darke series, and having read each and every one before it, I could not wait to get my hands on this one!
What starts of in the book as a joyous occasion (no spoilers I promise) sets the tone of the book as murders are investigated and revenge plotted and successfully executed.
This was a gripping read, East end crime as I just love it, and another one of Jessie's thrilling offerings!
Highly recommended!!

This book did not disappoint, once again Jesse Keane brings her characters alive, the Darke family return fo r another compelling read. If you like Martina Cole this is definitely one to put on your reading list.

This is the third book in the Ruby Darke series and although you could easily read this as a stand alone book it would be better to read the other two books first. I love Jessie Keane's books and this one is no exception.

Ruby and her family are getting ready for one of the happiest days in their lives. Ruby's daughter Daisy is getting married. However, when tragedy strikes on the day of the wedding their lives are turned upside down and the search begins to find out just who is out to get them and why. Hidden secrets from the past are unravelled, relationships are shattered and new ones are just beginning.

The Edge has a great storyline, keeps you hooked right from the start. Jessie Keane does not disappoint with this addition to the Ruby Darke series. Hope we don't have to wait too long for book number 4.

This is the third novel in the fantastic Ruby Darke series, and each one gets more gritty and involving. As Ruby and her family prepare for the biggest day in her daughters life, excitement is everywhere but it doesn’t last long when disaster strikes, leaving Daisy distraught and Ruby and son, Kit determined to find the ruthless shooter taking shots at their family.

From the very start, this moves swiftly, with neither Ruby nor Kit knowing who to trust or where to turn for answers.

I have read every single one of Jessie Keane’s books and she never disappoints. This one is no different. Whether you’ve read the previous two in the series wouldn’t matter as I think this could be read as a stand-alone although I definitely recommend reading the whole series with it’s brilliant characters. Another cracker from Jessie!

I've been a fan of Jessie Keane since her very first book and her latest book The Edge didn't disappoint. From the minute I started this book I was hooked as I always am with this author.

This is book 3 in the series featuring Ruby Darke and can be read as a stand alone but if you haven't read the first two books in the series then I strongly encourage you to do so.
Jessie Keane has a natural gift for creating superb characters, that are larger than life thatyou feel like you know them all personally.
The Edge is another brilliantly written emotional and hard hitting read. The story moves at a rapid pace and as much as you don't want it to end you just have to keep turning those pages to find out what happens next.

Another 5⭐️ smash.

Thank you!

I have read all of Jessie Keane's books and I thought she had lost her way a bit with her last one but this one shows why she is still one of my favourite authors.
This is the 3rd ruby darke book so I'd recommend reading the previous two books.
Be prepared to be kept awake till the early hours as the book is hard to put down.

This is the third book in the Ruby Darke series. You could read this as a stand-alone but the the series is so good you’d be missing out if you did. The happiest day of Daisy’s life suddenly turns into the worse when someone opens fire on her wedding. Why did it happen are the rumours true Kit and the family have a lot to sort out. There are lots of twists and turns along the way making this another great read from Jessie. I recommend this book

Another great book by jessie full of page turns.
Lots of criminals
Never who you expect it to be.
Bit romance in there as well
Thank you

This is the third instalment in the Ruby Drake Series.

At last Ruby has her daughter Daisy and son Kit on her side. Ruby's business is going well and she couldn't be happier.

Daisy is about to get married to Rob. Everything is going to plan. Tragedy strikes on the most important day of Daisy's life and puts all the family and others around her in danger.

The world around them starts to become complicated and secrets from the past that were hidden start to come out in the open.

Thrilling rollercoaster of emotions, and unexpected twists and turns and well written as always. Another page turner and best seller on its way.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. Although I enjoyed this book it is pretty much the same as all the other genre i.e. Martina Cole etc, so ok but not great

The Edge, the third instalment of the Ruby Darke gangland warfare series, is another exciting, edge-of-your-seat thriller and Ruby is back in business. Keane is one of a few authors that you have no fear of being let down by; she is yet to let me down, and I have been known because of this to purchase her books blind without even reading the synopsis. The name alone is enough for me. This novel starts where the second concluded, and although an astute reader would soon pick up the hints about what has happened in previous books, it's advantageous to have read the others first to see exactly how recurring characters evolve and grow, especially Ms Darke herself.

The plot is a high-stakes and high-octane adrenaline rush which incorporates into the narrative a gangland turf war, deception and duplicity, family drama, secrets and a lot of quite horrific violence. The characters are once again colourful and developed exceptionally well, and in this brutal, often graphic story we barely have time to take a breath. With twists, turns and surprises galore Keane knows how to pen an utterly captivating story of the kind of conflict most of us will hopefully never experience. Roll on the next instalment.

Many thanks to Macmillan for an ARC.

Long before I even considered writing reviews and reading more genres I had a few ‘go to’ authors who I would buy every book by and they never let me down, Jessie Keane was/still is one of those, nothing has changed a few years on and I still love her books!
Jessie Keane writes series books about gangland families and this is Book 3 in the Ruby Darke series and picks up from where Book 2 finished 😃, it can be read easily as a stand alone but of course works fantastic if you have read the other 2 as well
The story has EVERY element of this genre’s classic elements, the family, the drama, the relationships, the violence, the good from bad and bad from good!, nightclubs, people you cant trust, the old ‘faces’ and the trying to muscle in new ones, armed robberies and in this story a terrible shooting at a wedding...there is however no time spent in prisons in this book!!
Its like a full on action film but in a book, colourful characters described wonderfully and settings you can picture immediately and starts fast and doesnt give up till the last page
Lovers of this genre ( saying that word too much!!!) will adore it, you cant help but do as it pulls you into the family and makes you a honorary member for the duration
Fast, furious and at times brutal
FAB
Has to be 10/10 5 Stars

i believe this is the third instalment in the Ruby Darke series, nameless and lawless being the previous.

Gang feuds, a robbery on a payroll van, murders and revealed family secrets make this a fast paced story. i thoroughly enjoyed the book and certainly will be catching up on the previous 2 books in the series.

many thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Fantastic book I have read all Jessie Keane`s books and they just keep getting better and better a must read

I love Jessie Keane’s books so was looking forward to reading this new instalment in the Ruby Darke series. It didn’t disappoint. The title was very apt as it certainly kept me on the edge of my seat, plenty of twists, tension and emotions that I have grown to love from Jessie’s books. It was lovely to catch up with Ruby,Kit and Daisy again, I just hope we don’t have to wait as long for the next instalment!!!
