Dirty Money by Charlotte Philby

3 Stars from me

I couldn’t find my groove with this book. The description drew me in but I am sorry to say that I didn’t connect well with the story – it was a slow burn that just never hooked me enough and certainly for the first half of the book I found it hard to keep track of characters and their situations.

Sadly not for me.

Blurb: RAMONA CHANG An investigative journalist turned private detective, Ramona’s final scoop left her with a target on her back. Now in hiding, she is living in a run-down flat in east London. But when her latest case looking into an upmarket escort agency takes a dark turn, she needs information only accessible to those in power . .

DETECTIVE SERGEANT MADELEINE FARROW A high-flying operative at a government agency, it’s the day of her fiftieth birthday when Madeleine finds out that she has been given the lead on an investigation into corruption on a global scale. But when she finds her case mysteriously blocked from the inside, she needs someone on the outside, capable of moving undetected . . .

As Ramona’s and Madeleine’s cases collide, can the unlikely allies find justice for multiple victims within the capital’s hotbed of lies and deception?
