This is book 4 in the brilliant Glass Family series and would work perfectly stand alone but you will enjoy it more if you read the series in sequence.

Things seem to be ticking along very well for the Glass Family, Nina is running Glass Houses and Charley is running LBC like a well oiled machine leaving Luke to keep an eye on everything else. However, unbeknown to Luke all is not well with his sisters. Nina is on a very slippery downward slope due to her drug habit and Charley's past is about to come back to haunt her. With a gangster family from overseas joining forces with Bishop this could get very messy and very dangerous for everyone.

I love how Charley takes a bigger role in this story and we learn about her past and see the strong, perfect lady fall to pieces. The fall from grace is very steady and Charley is drowning in the guilt that she has brought all this trouble to the family she has only recently found.

Nina lost the love of her life in the last book and has turned to drugs to help her cope but the dependence is out of control. Can she keep the habit from her siblings? No chance!

So Luke is up against it with his sisters bringing all kinds of problems to his doorstep but to Luke family is everything: Team Glass. He will fight the world to keep his family safe and with the evil Giordano family in town he may have to do just that.

This is an absolutely gripping page turner. I absolutely love this series. It is dark but realistic and a very intriguing read. It is different to read books from the perspective of the dark underworld we try to ignore, but it is there. I do wonder how near real life this series is. Closer than we would like I fear.

A brilliant read well worth the 5 stars. Thank you very much to Boldwood Books and Owen for the advance digital copy. This is my unbiased review.

Having read titles by Owen Mullen in the past, and enjoyed them, this one was looked forward to.
Unfortunately, it fell into a similar category as numerous others as being too identical, which took away much of the enjoyment.

This is the 4th book in the Glass Family series and I would suggest reading these in order as you get more of a sense of who is who. There are several main characters, Luke, Nina, Charley, George and Felix and some from previous books. This story, however, brings a whole new family to the pages and they are not a friendly family.

Charley is a relative newcomer to the series, she is a Glass but one that has just made herself known. She has the Glass determination and stubborn streak and knows how to survive. To be honest, if she didn't have this then Luke would have seen her as a threat and therefore she wouldn't be around to have a story of her own.

She has proven her worth and does a great job of running the LBC, a club with a hefty subscription fee. This is where the rich and famous hang out, where the politicians and Heads of businesses and corporations get to mix business and pleasure in various forms.

Luke has been approached for a favour, not something he is unused to, but this one is political. He hasn't really had to deal with this but the way he is approached is not respectful. It is abrupt and screams of entitlement and expectation. Trying to work out the unknown players and the real money men is something that Luke is good at. It may take time but get there he will.

With this going on Charley's past suddenly makes an entrance. There is a short piece about this at the beginning of this story, it gives the basics and then jumps to the present day. No one knows the full s
story of Charley's past, but they are aware she has not been completely translucent.

With a new family on the scene from the US, Luke's backyard starts to become overcrowded. The Giordano Family want Charley, they don't care who they have to go through to get her. They, however, do not understand how the Glass Family and others work.

This is my new favourite book in this series, I said it about the previous one, I think! I adore the Glass family and it is a chance to get to know more about Charley. While she does have a more prominent position in this book, it doesn't mean she is the only focus. I think this is what I like about this series, the author features and focuses, but he doesn't limit this book to one aspect. Each of the three siblings have their own sub-stories, and each one demands attention. Thank goodness the author manages to wrangle and twist all of the threads together to create such an amazing fast-paced tale.

The Glass family are not exactly legit, there are some legit aspects, some illegal aspects and quite a bit of grey in between. They are a gang family, they have their position in London, their own areas and while things run smoothly all is fine. So bringing in another family was a brilliant move and it showed how someone from a different culture brings their own ideas as to how things work. But at street level, things are different and grassroots are where you learn your lessons and your trade.

Flitting between individual stories of Luke, Nina and Charley was great to see them as individuals and what they have been going through. They are strong but they are also vulnerable. This is a book that is addictive and at times brutal, it is also devious and twisted and at times just very in your face. Brilliant crime thriller in the back streets and clubs of London. A book I would definitely recommend.

I love owen mullen books they are always a good read and this one is a belter.
Fast paced it gets you hooked from the first page, it takes a thief to catch a thief.
Ilove this series very gripping and full of twists and turns a long the way for the reader ,
A rollercoaster of a book .the giordano a re a crime family from new orleans and dont take too kindly to being doublecrossed by the glass family.
A Brilliant read cannot reccomend it highly enough owen mullen is a great writer.
Thankyou to netgallery and boldwood books for letting me read it .

Charley Glass arrived in her family's lives like the hurricane she'd escaped. But she hadn't run far enough: the ruthless Giordano family are on her tail and want two things - her live, and the return of the property she stole from them. No matter how many bodies stack up. After years of longing, Charley finally has the family she's always wanted, but now she's going to have to tell them the real reason she came looking for them. There's only one way she's going to stay alive, and that's to employ the muscle of the notorious Glass family.

This is another gripping addition to the Glass family series. Luke Glass is the head of the family, and he will protect them in any way he can. And Charley needs help. This is a well written action packed read. I couldn't read this book quick enough. Each turn of the page drew me in further, I was hooked. The characters are well developed. I don't think this book can be read as a standalone. It's one of those series that you need to read from the beginning so that you're up to date with the backstory'

I would like to thank #NetGalley #BpldwoodBooks and the author #OwenMullen for my ARC of #Thief in exchange for an honest review.

Charley has stole something from a gangland boss, and they want it back..luke glass will go to any lengths to protect his family charley is his sister..The giordanos want what theirs, or charley what is it??
Nina glass is on destruct mode and is a drug addict.. someone is trying to take down the glass empire, will they succeed?? I enjoyed this addition to the glass series, highley recommend

What a fantastic read I really hope there is more books with the glass family to come . I would highly recommend this book and the other glass family books they are great

I love this series of books featuring the Glass family with interesting dynamics. Think I am secretly in love with Luke! The plotting is excellent and well written, as usual but this has to be the best in the series so far. It's completely addictive and sets a heart racing pace from the beginning until the last chapter. The characterisation is excellent, I would like to see more from George and Felix, and I can't wait for the next book to see what happens next. I highly recommend to lovers of gangster thrillers. Thanks to the publisher and to Net Galley for my ARC.

Charley Glass had run away
But the ruthless Giordano family wants two things from her
The head of the family is called Luke and to take on a New Orleans family crime family
I had an ARC

The characterization, the plot, the world building, it all hits just right! The twists and turns are set up so well but aren’t made obvious until after the fact. The main characters are mysterious and intriguing.

I have enjoyed the series of the Glass Family and this one added to the collection. Loved the family stuff, the deceit and the flying around the country! Loved this author looking forward to more.

Owen Mullen has done it again what a gripping book this was to read.Nina Glass is on a downward spiral but Luke hasn't noticed and Charley has a shock in store when her past hits home.When George Ritchie gets a phone call from Charley asking for help, as Lukes right hand man he heads over to the LBC the club Luke owns but Charley runs.I won't say anymore as it would give the plot away but i did not want this book to end it had me gripped excellent 5*

It takes a thief to catch a thief…
Charley Glass arrived in her family’s lives like the hurricane she'd escaped. But she hadn't run far enough: the ruthless Giordano family are on her tail and want two things - her life, and the return of the property she stole from them. No matter how many bodies stack up.

Once again another fantastic book from Owen Mullen. I have read all of his books and the Glass family series is definitely a favourite. Great characters of whom it was wonderful to meet again and another great story that sees Luke Glass and his family become embroiled in a new chapter featuring the darker side of the underworld in Glasgow. Also a couple of story line surprises if you have followed this series making me very intrigued as to what may happen in future books. I will be looking forward to the next.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of the book, greatly appreciated.

After the head of New Orleans most powerful crime family has a heart attack and dies, his family find that his younger girlfriend, the money in his safe, and important documents have all disappeared. To ensure their power base isn't damaged at home, the family of killers have sworn to find the their and get their just revenge. Their travels take them to London where the find that the girl is a member of the top London Firm. A really cracking, fast paced thriller testing the love in one family against the desire for revenge from another. Trouble and bloodshed is brewing.

I am not sure if it is because I started in book 4 of the Glass family series or maybe it the writing style of the author. I found it difficult to understand the reason of why Charly is who she is. I felt it lack enough background for this reader to under Charley and her choices she made. The story moves quickly, and the beginning starts off with murder and a hurricane.

The family dynamitic is interesting and they will protect those they call family. Luke the oldest tries to keep everyone safe and protected but know when he might not be able to protect his family the way they need.

The action parts are exciting and hard to stop reading. The basic story made it difficult, and I am guessing it is due to starting on book 4.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advance copy of Owen Mullen Thief.

The Glass family… I did not know them yet, because I have not read the previous instalments.

I was introduced to Luke and his two sisters Nina and Charley, but they are not the only recurrent characters. There were a few more I had to learn about and then of course there were new ones. So in the beginning I had my work cut out for me. A lot of people I had to make connections with.

It was not simple and a bit of a struggle at the start, but that’s of course my own fault. 😉 I am not the most patient person in the world, but when I set my mind to it, I push through. And patience brings great rewards. This time I was rewarded with a great story. 😊

Honour, power and the family name… those are three of the elements that are very important in this book. There are more, of course. Betrayal, fidelity, revenge are added to the mix and baked into this amazing book.

As I already said there were a lot of characters. If I have to pick one that was my favourite, I cannot do that. I must choose two: George and Felix.

In my opinion George is the most intelligent one and Felix maybe does not always make the right decisions, but he does it with the best intentions.

Family and friends… People you should always be able to trust and count on, but sometimes they are your worst nightmare.

Enemies…You should never trust them and always keep an eye out for them, because they might surprise you. But there are two kinds of surprises. Sometimes it are bad ones, sometimes they are good.

I enjoyed reading this book. 4,5 stars  

Thank you

Yet another masterpiece about the glass family. This book was intriguing and a great page turner.
I would recommend this to anyone who loves this genre. Or even if they fancy a change of genre

BRILLIANT
Charley Glass has everything she wants in her life her family brother Luke and sister Nina and of course the name Glass puts the fear in people who get on the wrong side of them.Years ago Charley ran from the Giordano family New Orleans biggest crime gang she took something from them and now they've found her it's payback time.For the first time the head of the family Luke feels unsure that they are a match for the Giordanos but he'll do anything to protect his family and everything his built.Lives are in danger but when you mess with the Glass family you better be ready to smash it the first.
I'm a big fan of this brilliant author and this was another hit I was unable to put it down until I'd finished then was sorry I'd finished as I wanted to read more,Look forward to reading more by Owen Mullen.
