Enjoy Shes Out (Dolly Rawlins, #3) Drafted By Lynda La Plante Visible In Softcover

can she tell a story! Dreadful, Facile style, no real depth to the characters, This is the first book I have read from this author and it is the last book of a series, The author did a great job tying in information from the past books so I could catch up and understand what was going on, I really liked Dolly. She had been through hell, however was one tough broad, When she is released from prison, she thinks she has diamonds waiting for her, She finds out that the diamonds have been stolen and the mother of one of the past allies is to blame, Mike is the brother of the same ally that ended up dead and is a cop that tries to seek revenge, He is pulled into the scheme and Dolly has quite the group of women that are all going to pull off a huge train heist, The story was incredibly compelling and I loved how all of the pieces came together in the end, I am now going to have to go back and read the rest of the books and see the movie, I will be recommending this book to others,
Lynda La Plante is my favourite author and I have loved every book of hers I have read almost every single one!, She's Out is no exception! The conclusion to the Dolly Rawlins Trilogy was the most exciting book yet, I recommend reading these books in order to get the full impact of the story, Dolly is a hard woman but you can't help hoping she succeeds, Now I'm on to the new DC Jack Warr series, With thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for my digital copy, I am a big fan of Prime Suspect and love the 'Tennison' series by Lynda La Plante so was looking forward to reading the Dolly Rawlins books.
Maybe an error but I started with bookin the series 'She's out' which starts with Dolly Rawlins being released from prison after serving a lengthy sentence for the murder of her husband.
She is now focused on collecting the six million in diamonds she stashed prior to her imprisonment,
Dolly is met by a welcome home committee of women who served time with her and also have plans on her diamonds,
This was a difficult one for me to review, I enjoyed much of the book and certainly enjoyed it but found the plot to difficult to believe.
This is a rehash of an older novel and perhaps was a little dated,

I would like to thank both Net Galley and Zaffre for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review, This book wasn't my favorite book of the year, but it goes without saying that I did enjoy reading it and it was a really quick read.
This book is part of the Widows series and is the final book of the saga,

Dolly Rawlins has been in prison and after her due time, is finally being released, She hopes to recover the stolen diamonds she stashed before she served her time but as soon as she leaves the jail cell, she has a slew of people chomping at her heels in order to either get their own cut or help get her back inside the prison for past occurrences.
Dolly is forced to make some choices both bad and good,

I liked the writing of this story and how dramatic it feels at times, It makes it a rather quick read that is packed with details, This book did lag at times, but what I liked the most is the strong females strewn throughout, My first book by this very prolific writer the brilliant tv series Prime Suspect is from this author's work and it will not be my last, A group of ex cons, all women and all with stories of their own, try first to con the lead protagonist out of her hidden fortune then work with her to pull off the biggest heist of their lives.
Along the way we discover their humanity as they discover how to trust again, The heist was pulse poundingly good and the end of the book was stunning, Really a jaw dropping shocker, I loved it. Five enthusiastic! This was a fitting end to the Dolly Rawlings Widows Series, This book starts

when Dolly is about to get out of prison after killing her crimelord husband Harry, She is determined to start her new life with the jewels from the robbery that killed her friend Shirley, Shirley's mother, however, blames Dolly for everything and ropes in her police officer son to try to get Dolly put back in prison,

At the same time, some of the women from the prison throw Dolly a "She's Out" party, In reality they all want a slice of the jewels,

I really enjoyed this book, It did not stack up to the first book, which I absolutely loved, but was still a great end to the series, You can let a person out of jail, but can said person ever truly be free Dolly Rawlins was a model prisoner that stuck to herself, Imprisoned for murdering her husband, she paid her debt to society and had lofty dreams of opening a home for orphans, She knew it would not be easy, but having worked with young mothers while in prison and watching the system take away their babies, she knew she wanted to turn her life around by giving back to those who needed her the most.


A group of former inmates have a different plan, Dolly is rumored to have a cache of diamonds hidden from a heist that she was suspected of stashing before her arrest and they wanted a piece of that haul.
Hiding their motive by generously offering Dolly a place to stay while she gets back on her feet, each of women dreamed of wealth, Dolly is a smart cookie, realizing the women are plotting something, She is cunning enough to know she needs a place to stay under the radar, When one of the women offers to sell her the old Victorian Grange Manor House, Dolly jumps at the chance, On the surface, it seems perfect to spruce up and turn into a home for children, Unfortunately, the authorities are not on board with a house that used to be a brothel used to house children, Coupled with Dollys past, they dashed her dreams,

Dolly still has the diamonds, kept safe by an old acquaintance or so she thinks, When she begins to make inquiries, Dolly finds out she has been double crossed, Then she comes to the realization that society will never forget her past or allow her to move on, A heist of monumental proportions is the only thing that will set her free,

Shes Out is an intriguingly intricate tale of women that each have their own agenda, They agree they dont necessarily like each other, but need each other, The story pulled me in immediately, and by the end of the novel, the pageturning plot was impossible to put down until the last words were read.
Some novels keep popping up in my mind long after the last pages this is one of them,

The last book in a trilogy, Shes Out reads perfectly as a standalone novel, I have not read the previous two books, but did not feel lost or confused at any point in the book, Ms. La Plante is an acclaimed writer, screenwriter, actress and producer, Her books have been adapted to movies as well as television series, Bibliophiles who love fabulously written fastpaced thrillers and have not read her works should dive into one of her books, If you are already a fan, Shes Out is a must read, I cannot wait to read her new book, Buried, which is coming in March,

DISCLOSURE OF MATERIAL CONNECTION: I have a material connection because I received a review copy for free from Bookish First sitelink bookishfirst. com/in exchange for a fair and honest review, CopyrightLaura Hartman sitelinkShe's Out is my first book by prolific writer sitelinkLynda La Plante the brilliant TV series, Prime Suspect The Tennison series, is from this author.
Even though this is the last book in the Widows trilogy featuring Dolly Rawlins, I'm really pleased I decided to take a chance with it,

A bunch of female ex convicts, all with their own stories to tell, try to swindle the lead protagonist out of her hidden diamond fortune, then find themselves working with her to negotiate their hugest heist yet.
The reader is rewarded with glimpses of their benevolence en route, as they discover how to trust again, Even though sitelinkShe's Out is book three in the series and I have yet to read the previous two books, sitelinkWidows and sitelinkWidows, I still really enjoyed it as the plot was wonderfully executed with its swift pacing.
Complete with its cracking denouement, a thrilling jawdropper, this was an all round marvellous read, if a little dated,

I received a complimentary digital copy of this novel at my request from Zaffre via NetGalley and this review is my unbiased opinion,
I wanted to read this book because it was a thriller, and I absolutely love thrillers, This one did not disappoint,

The reason why I love thrillers so much is due to all the twists and turns,

There are several characters who contribute to the lead protagonist, First, you, of course, have Dolly, the "she" referred to in the Title, She is out of jail after her crimes from previous books, The back story, which I assume is what the other books from her are about, . . they're incredible and almost unbelievable, Dolly has a collection of diamonds she stole, and they've been waiting for her since she went to jail,

Although I did not read any of her other novels, I did not feel like I was missing out on any major story, She touches on the other books enough that I understand what happened and why it's relevant to this story,

All around Dolly are these different women who are all desperate to get out of their current situation, We go through their backstories and enter into their lives to see why it's so important they get away from their situations, The stories they weave create a web with Dolly in the middle, It's clear that's not where she wants to be, but she eventually relents and allows them to help her,

It CAN be difficult to follow, as we follow all the girls in this story, not just Dolly, But once you understand it's more than one narrator it's easy to grasp, and you end up craving the different points of view,

So many juicy twists and turns, and I really did not see most of them coming, I thought this was a fantastic introduction to this author, and I'm left eager to read more of her novels and learn more about these girls as well as the other three widows she committed the diamond heist with.

Would have beenstars, but the ending was a bit of a disappointment, it felt rushed to me, Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy, I voluntarily reviewed this book, All opinions expressed are my own,

She's Out

REVIEW
She's Out is the last book of the widows trilogy, This story follows Dolly after her time in jail, I accidentally discovered this series, but I have enjoyed every book, This one is no exception, It's an intriguing well written story with strong memorable characters, I recommend for a different sort of mystery, this book was a five star for sure : Dolly Rawlins is finally free from prison after years of being in there for killing her Husband but before the police got her she had hid some diamonds and thats the only thing on her mind right now thats she is free but shouldnt she be worried about the people thats after her a group of tough Ex Prisoners who know all about the diamonds that she is stashed and they all intend on getting a cut too.
And not only thats another man holds her responsible for his sisters death years before during the diamond raid that was taken place, Seems to me she better get the diamond and run before she looses her life herself, !! This is definitely the most awesome ready and everyone should read this book, .
