Another tense and exciting storyline. More discord between Maddie and Harry in this novel which I’m hoping will be resolved

Fabulous plot which I could not put down. Brilliant characters, and twists and turns. Highly recommend to other fans of this genre!!

Fantastic read, another gripping read from the author. Love Maddie's character too. Can't wait for more!

This book is filled with action and amazing characters. This is a lot of violence so that may be a trigger warning for some people.
The storyline is good but the ending let it down a little

This gripping complex thriller is another page turning, can’t put the book down, novel by an author who seems to get better and better
The intricate plot is absorbing and centres around a brilliant aim police character
Can’t get enough of this author

This is very gritty, not for the faint-hearted, right from the first few pages. It is very gripping and great to have strong female characters, bit too gruesome for me but if you like it hard-boiled this is a great read.

Not my first time reading that author, I'm never disappointed.
Well written, captivating, full of suspense. You don't want to put it down.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of this book. This is my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Review for 'He knows your secrets' by Charlie Gallagher

Read and reviewed via NetGalley

This book is the fourth in the 'Maddie' series although I read it as a standalone with no difficulty. I do prefer reading books in order but I didn't even realise it was a series until after I'd finished reading it and was looking into the author, there was no references to previous cases to need information about.

All main characters in this book are FEMALE which makes a fantastic change so perfect if you enjoy books with strong female roles. All characters have strong personalities and very realistic. Great descriptions made it feel I was standing by them along their journeys.

The storyline is sadly one that is very realistic and something a lot of girls are trapped in and the author does a fantastic job of getting us to see their side. The book was very well written and location's very well described. It is very gripping, filled with suspense and loads of twists and turns to keep you on edge.

Bonus points for the strong female leads and being set in the UK 😊

I highly recommend this book to fans of mystery, murder, crime, thrillers, suspense and even true crime as even though this book is fiction it is very much based on true crime.

Rated 4/5 on Goodreads and Amazon (I enjoyed it)

Free on kindle unlimited or £1.99 to purchase on kindle

This book definitely had me in the edge of my seat. I thought I knew what was coming next, but I was often wrong and surprised! I love when that happens, predictable books are not as fun to read. This one was well written, thrilling, and I’m excited to read more by this author!

This was a good and enjoyable read. easy to follow and fun to get stuck into. I will try the rest of the series and see how ti goes!

Once again this author does not disappoint. Thrilling and suspenseful. Hard to put down with a great ending but you don’t want it to end ..

An enjoyable read. Good to know there are others in the Detective Maddie Ives series.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Maddie Faces A Disturbing Case.....
Book four in the Detective Maddie Ives series. Maddie is faced with a disturbing and heartbreaking case and is up against time to catch the perpetrator in this latest thriller. Engrossing storyline with an edge of seat plotline.

He Knows Your Secrets by author Charlie Gallagher is a shocking good read! I was hooked from the first page and stayed awake into the night to finish. Holly Maguire has a message she wants to make sure the police will seriously investigate. She sacrifices her life in order for her message to gain attention.
Kelly Dale is grieving the death of her mother. Before Kelly can make the funeral arrangements, she is stunned by a mysterious text from Kelly and an unexpected visitor stops by to make hateful demands. Kelly must decide what she will do in order to escape the horrible trap her life is held within.
Detective Maddie Ives is called out to the site of a horrible vehicle crash over a cliff. It is assumed the driver drove the car over the cliff in an act of suicide. As Maddie investigates the scene and the items which are left in the arms of Holly, she feels there is more to this crash than a desperate wish to die by the occupants of the car. It is a mystery she plans to unravel, no matter how much opposition she may face from her boss.
I won't post spoilers, but the subject matter of the plot is worrisome for anyone who may have attractive young daughters, friends, or acquaintances. As the evil human trafficking element of the story is revealed, I was so angry and then found myself wondering what a person could do to help someone caught within this horrible trap.
He Knows Your Secrets is the latest in the Detective Maddie Ives thriller series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and give my own review of this book.

I have read several books by Charlie Gallagher now, including He Will Kill You (Maddie Ives 2) and He Will Find You (Maddie Ives 3) and I rated them all five stars. This one - He Knows Your Secrets -is equally as good, exactly as I was expecting, and I just had to finish it to find out what happens. I relish reading this author's books and this latest book was simply brilliant!

A young woman, Holly Maguire, commits suicide and takes a taxi driver with her. She carries a rucksack containing clues that she hopes will result in the police investigating her death and bringing down a dangerous and controlling brute.

Kelly Dale is in a dark place; her mother has recently lost her battle with cancer, and she has just found out that her girlfriend, Holly Maguire, has committed suicide. Now Kelly is left to deal with the psychopath who employs her, a man who has made a career of exploiting, controlling and abusing women for his gain and amusement. Now that Holly is dead, he is looking to replace her, and he is expecting Kelly to train her. But will Kelly be able to help the new girl?

He Knows Your Secrets is set in the town of Langthorne in the south-east of England. DS Maddie Ives and her team are at the sharp end of a complex and baffling investigation trying to solve the case, though trying to rein her in is boss Harry Blaker, when Maddie's vehemence begins to gets the better of her. I love that Charlie Gallagher portrays Maddie as a strong-willed, determined woman with plenty of attitude, who also has a soft side and is far from perfect.

I was hooked from the start and fully appreciated the attention to detail and the dynamics between Maddie and her colleagues. Although this isn't a typical whodunit mystery, there was still a strong sense of peril and endangerment, as well as an urgency to reach the end to find out what happens to the familiar and lesser-known characters, none of which was disappointing to me.

He Knows Your Secrets was such an exciting read and I have no hesitation in recommending it. I am already looking forward to Charlie Gallagher's next offering.

I received a complimentary digital copy of this novel, at my own request, from Joffe Books via NetGalley and this review is my own unbiased opinion.

DI Maddie Ives #4

A taxi plunges over a cliff killing the woman passenger and the taxi driver. But was it an accident or suicide? DS Maddie Ives is at the scene. In the womans backpack, there is evidence that could bring down a man who has a hold over some women. Around the same time a other young woman has just lost her mother to cancer. She does ot k ow yet that her girlfriend has just died in a taxi.

This is far from an easy book to read due to it's subject matter. It covers: prostitution, female exploitation and violence. There is quite a ,ot of violence and its white a dark and gritty read. I really like this series of books. I also like Maddie and her partner Vince. Its fast pa e and I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

I would like to thank NetGalley, Joffe Books and the author Charlie Gallagher for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I just love this author's books and his lastest book was Just a brilliant read. So when He Knows Your Secrets by Charlie Gallagher came out I just had to turn my phone off, find a comfy spot to open my kindle and become a part of this new book. Blimey what a cracking read Charlie's lastest book was. I was hooked within the first few pages and I just had to finish it to find out what happens.

A young woman called Holly Maguire takes a taxi to a clifftop location. She is determined to make things right.
Then the car goes over the edge of the cliff. Killing the taxi driver as well

"As Holly falls to her death, she tightens her grip on a rucksack"

"SHE WILL GIVE HER LIFE TO BRING HIM DOWN."

WoW! Who is Holly Maguire? Why did she kill herself and who does she want to bring down?

OMG I just wanted to find out more about Holly and why she killed herself! What was in her rucksack?

Holly has a girlfriend called Kelly Dale who she loves dearly. Kelly is coming to terms with the death of her mother when she finds out about Holly. DS Maddie Ives is the only person who thinks there is more to this suicide of Holly and starts to look more into it. She is shocked on what she finds out.

Is Kelly Dale in danger?

Will DS Maddie Ives be in time to save Holly before some thing happens to her?

This book is full of twists and turns and you will not see that coming.......

I highly recommend this Book by Charlie Gallagher and is a great read.

Big Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for this e-book ARC to read, and review.

Another great story from Charlie Gallagher, Maddie Ives at her best. Like a dog with a bone! Keeps digging and never gives up! A look into the dark side of the internet, a fascinating story line. Well worth reading.

HE KNOWS YOUR SECRETS by Charlie Gallagher is the fourth book in the Maddie Ives Series. I have not read the previous books in this series, but I feel that Mr. Gallagher does an excellent job of reintroducing the main characters, so you don't have to read the books in order. Mr. Gallagher also brings his vast knowledge of police work, which adds a realistic aspect to his writing. The pacing of this novel is perfect, keeping the reader on edge. Mr. Gallagher continuously builds the suspense by alternating scenes between the main characters, thus keeping the reader glued to the book. There is an element of darkness to this book. Some scenes are very graphic and violent toward women, but I did feel they were well within the realm of the subject matter, and the author handled these elements well. To balance the dark graphic qualities in this book, Mr. Gallagher does introduce the softer side of human nature. The love that one woman has for another and the kindness that is given by a stranger delivers countenance. Both of these things might help change a life.

HE KNOWS YOUR SECRETS set in the fictional coastal town of Langthorne in the south-east of England. Holly Maguire, a local sex worker, meets her death as the taxi she has hired plunges over the edge of a cliff. Is this a murder-suicide or a horrible accident? That is what Detective Sergeant Maddie Ives must figure out. I love that Mr. Gallagher writes the character of Maddie as a strong kick-a** woman that has a soft side and is far from perfect.

Kelly Dale is a woman in a dark place, her mother has recently lost her battle with cancer, and she has just found out that her girlfriend Holly Maguire has committed suicide. She doesn't understand why Holly has done this; they planned to be together forever. They were supposed to get out of the horrible situation they found themselves in together.

"I'll be the sky and you be the bird…"


Now Kelly is left alone to deal with the psychopath who employs her. HE is a man who has made a career of exploiting, controlling and abusing women for his gain and amusement. Now that Holly is dead, HE is looking for a replacement, and HE is expecting Kelly to train her. Will Kelly be able to help the new girl survive in this depraved world this man has trapped her? Will DS Ives find a way to save these women? These are the questions that will propel you through this book.

HE KNOWS YOUR SECRETS is a dark, edgy thriller with heart-pounding suspense. Although we know who the bad guy is, this book's focus is on the wild ride Mr. Gallagher takes us on to find out if DS Maddie has what it takes to bring down this evil man. If you are a fan of police procedural books, this book will tick all your boxes. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.
