Ok, bits I liked, bits I didn't

Synopsis/blurb ....

My take....

This is the third installment of about nine in author, Armand Rosamilia's Dirty Deeds series featuring James Gaffney.

It's another book which I kind of liked, but kind of didn't. Gaffney and his partners in crime from previous books, Marco, Chaz and the near retired FBI agent Keene butt heads with the Philly mob and rogue agents on their payroll. There are a lot of confrontations, near confrontations, escapes, close run things and a fair amount of charging around the city, holing up, meetings, more charging, more hiding etc etc.

Plus points, I do like some of the characters and the dynamics between them. There are some humorous moments and it's a book which doesn't take itself too seriously.

Negatives - the plot's a bit of a nonsense and it doesn't really go anywhere. Gaffney has some links with criminals, but more in regards to spiriting away their children when they have had enough of them, than day-to-day knowledge of their operations and personnel. He's piggy in the middle with testimony wanted by the authorities against the mob and them not wanting him to cooperate. He has his own reasons for not wanting law enforcement to know what he's been doing.

Again we have a closing chapter which obviously gets the ball rolling for the fourth outing. I'm not a fan of this unsubtle tactic from authors. That said I have books four and five in the Audible library, so I'll go that far with the author.

I was entertained while reading it and it wasn't the worst thing I've ever encountered.

3 from 5

I think this was my fifth outing with Armand Rosamilia. I prefer his books which feature the everyday and mundane of ordinary people to the Dirty Deeds series. Belford Stories and JandJ Fitness, as well as Dirty Deeds and Dirty Deeds 2 have been enjoyed before.

A Home Run

Going into Dirty Deeds 3 I was excited. It’s rare I get as excited as I did about a book because I’ve been let down in the past. Dirty Deeds 3 didn’t let me down. It keeps the style and tone of the previous two books and Armand Rosamilia manages to move the story along without it feeling rushed or for it to slow down at all. When the action in the story let’s you take a breath the touch of humour this series has keeps it interesting while also weaving in a lot of depth and growth for our characters.
It’s been a pleasure discovering this series and I can’t wait to check out book 4.
