Another fantastic book by Gillian Godden. The threat of gangland payback kept the pages turning. Looking forward to her next book.

Another absolutely brilliant book from Gillian Godden. Totally hooked from the first page this had me racing through it. Gillian writes gritty and powerful gangland and this one is no exception. The Silva family have been in witness protection but hitman Alex has decided enough is enough. The family move Kent to run a pub and although they still have police protection they’re not totally safe, especially with a bounty on Alex’s head.. It soon becomes clear that the local residents have their own secrets………Brilliant characters and a storyline that just keeps giving this is a must read for those who love gangland crime. Seriously can’t wait for the next one!! Thanks to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for the ARC

What a fabulous start to a new series! I love the Silva's! All of the characters seem well developed and authentic. The book was thoroughly enjoyable and I whizzed through it. Just hope I don't have to wait too long for the next instalment.

Gillian Godden is back and with a new series about ‘The Silva’s’…..now this family have been under witness protection moving from here to there but never settled or happy…Alex has had enough and with wife Maggie and their 2 teenage children decide to leave the scheme and move to Sevenoaks and open a pub….folly it may be but Alex is resolute that his time in exile hiding has to be over one way or another
We then have a high powered gangland family drama that is full of energy and shocks as the family try not to stand out,and fail and then end up in no end of sticky situations
Some brilliant characters such as Percy the neighbour make the story very readable and very good and fast moving
Gillian Godden always writes a full exciting on story and this is no different,look forward to the others in the series

Wow what a brilliant book couldn't put this book down it was so so good . What a ending can't wait for the next instalment what a great bunch of character's this book has .

This is the first book in a new series by the author, featuring the Silva family with dad Alex as a man on the run from his past. There are some likeable, interesting characters but I failed to empathise with any of them, especially Alex. It took a while to get into the book and it just never gripped me like previous reads by the author. Perhaps the next in the series will excite me a bit more. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

I liked the book, I love Gillian Godden but I will admit I found it quite hard to read throughout, I’m not sure why but it didn’t really hold my interest but I did finish it and looking forward to the next book in the series

another amazing read from this Author, the Silva family have had enough of hiding in witness protection. Alex worked for a mafia family and giving evidence against them. Alex his wife Maggie and their son and daughter are going to run a pub. in Sevenoaks. But every place and occupants have secrets it's a very gripping read and some of the antics are so funny so can't wait for book two

The Street is fantastic If you are looking for a great gangland, family drama series. Mind-bendingly dark and deep, you know it's not for the faint hearted from page one. Intricate plotting, devious twists and excellent characterisation take this tale to a whole new level.

Alex Silva and Maggie and there two children called Deana and Dante were supposed to be in the witness protection but Alex didn’t want it
He got around as best as he could
He had to go to the courts to be a witness
It was great and wonderful
I had an ARC

This book had a interesting blurb. And my god it didn't disappoint.i loved the whole book kept me hooked. I didn't see many of the plot twists coming. I can't wait for the next one

Fabulous book loved reading it. The story and the characters are go so well together the Silva's take over the local pub and become a hit with the locals and make friends, but what of their past. I cannot wait for Gillian's next book BRILLIANT.

Sometimes you just know when you pick a new book up by a certain author that what you are about to read is going to keep you hooked from the very first page and that how I feel with a Gillian Godden book and this one was no exception.The main characters are very likable but of course have their flaws which make for great reading,their daughter and son are definitely going to be a following in their dad's footsteps I'm sure because after all the mafia underworld is in their blood.
Loved the name drop of a character from a previous series of books hopefully we're hear more from them later on in this series. I can see them fitting into this storyline nicely as it continues.
The Tony Lambrianus series was my favourite by the author, but this has the potential to be just as good, if not better.
It was a really great read that had me reading into the small hour
RECOMMENDED
