Holy hell, what a book! This thing grabs you by the throat from the start and never lets go. Full on thrills from beginning to end!
This is the second book I’ve read by Robert White, after I came over Breaking Bones a while back. I stumbled upon it on Audible completely by accident, and I’m very glad I did, because both that, and this, are excellent books!
White writes the grittiest, hardest, roughest thrillers you can imagine. Set in the UK, Dirty follows Probationary Constable Dave Stewart, who fucks up while on the job. Not bad, mind you (at least not very bad), but bad enough that it lands him in a heap of trouble. That trouble keeps growing like an ugly, infected tumor, to the point where everything eventually goes – pardon my French – straight to hell. Suddenly people are beaten up, people are killed, and people are accused of murder.
The questions soon becomes: Who did it? Who framed who? And who are the dirty ones?
White’s writing is direct, brutal and captivating. It’s not difficult to read, at the same time it’s impossible to put down. Honestly, it’s the perfect type of writing for a thriller like this.
I’d recommend Robert White to any lover of the thriller and mystery genre – he deserves many more readers than he already has. This stuff is fantastic.
As always, I’d appreciate it immensely if you’d care to check out my own books! You can find all my novels and short stories right here. If you’re into rough’n’tough crime thrillers (like Robert White) I’d recommend my The Columbus Archives series, starting with The Consequence of Loyalty. If you prefer psychological horror, then go for At The Gate.
