I have read most of the books written by this author and they have all been excellent. He has a way of capturing you immediately and then you struggle to put the book down.
I really enjoyed the character of Abigal Morton, she reminded me of Maddie Ives (a previous series by this author which is fantastic). I hope this was the first in a new series as I think this was a really good opening book. The storyline was dark and thrilling which I loved and the characters were very well written. There is a great knowledge of police procedures which I always enjoy reading. Highly recommend.

Charlie Gallagher latest thriller "Six Hours To Live" detonates from its opening pages and never loosens its grip. What begins in Margate quickly spirals into a chilling claustrophobic nightmare. What elevates this novel above Gallagher’s previous work is the sheer depth of the plotting. The tension is relentless, the twists genuinely surprising, and the emotional stakes higher than anything the author has attempted before.
Gallagher paints the DSU, a covert unit as a world apart, isolated, secretive and home to source handlers who manage the most sensitive informants in the country. He captures its atmosphere with such precision that the reader feels the weight of every whispered conversation and the constant hum of danger that defines life inside its fortified walls.
As someone who has followed Gallagher’s writing from his debut, this book feels like a breakthrough. The storytelling is richer, the characters more layered, and the world he builds more immersive and dangerous. This is the novel that will push his name further up the ladder and cement him as a must read author for a whole new wave of crime fiction fans.
Abigail Morton, in particular is a character readers will latch onto, complex, flawed and utterly compelling. She is sharp, unconventional, and cuts through lies like a scalpel, one who understands from her background, that whatever is happening reaches deep into the vaults of protected intelligence. Brilliantly executed, I cannot wait to see what awaits in the next book in the series, to see how her character is developed further.
Gallagher has levelled up, and this book proves it.

Six Hours to Live is the kind of thriller that grabs you by the throat from the opening scene and refuses to ease up. The premise alone is enough to spike your adrenaline — a woman trapped in a flooding shipping container on the hottest day of the year — but Charlie Gallagher layers the tension so well that every chapter feels like a countdown.
The pacing is sharp and urgent, but what really elevates the story is the emotional undercurrent. The husband’s frantic race against time adds a raw, human edge, and the chilling message he receives sets the tone for a cat‑and‑mouse game that only gets darker.
Abigail Morton is a standout character: smart, unconventional, and carrying just enough frustration and grit to make her return to the case feel both inevitable and satisfying. Watching her step back into the chaos after walking away from the force adds a great character‑driven thread to all the high‑stakes action.
The atmosphere is fantastic — Margate on a scorching day, an abandoned warehouse, a sadistic criminal pulling the strings. It all comes together in a way that feels cinematic and claustrophobic in the best possible way.
If you enjoy police thrillers with tight plotting, escalating danger, and twists that keep you guessing, this one delivers exactly what you’re hoping for.
A breathless, high‑octane read that’s impossible to put down.

A gripping police suspense with a big difference!
After receiving a text message and video , a husband races to a deserted warehouse to rescue his wife.
He's confronted with a steel shipping container rapidly filling with water, the lid has been removed and replaced by a steel grill Inside the steel box is partner and another women both fighting a losing battle against the rising icy cold water. Another man arrives and together they desperately try to free the two women. It's too late and the two men watch helplessly as the women die a gruesome death by drowning.
The murders appear to be a vengeance killing of police informer and the Source Unit running Police informers has therefore been compromised and its operation suspended and powerless.
Police Constable Abigail Moreton has recently been dumped by the unit and has resigned from the police force
She is approached by the suspended head of the source unit who appeals for her help trace the leak and the killer. Reluctantly she is dragged into a desperate race against time to protect the other sources.
The tension quickly ramps up when the handler of one of the murder victims herself goes missing. Is she the leak and on the run or is she a victim herself?
Twists follows turns in this nailbiting suspense. Very clever writing from Charlie Gallagher.

Abigail Morton series book 1
I am a fan of this authors books so it’s always exciting to check out his latest offering. This time the start of a new series.
I sensed a slight shift in the writing style to a slightly more literary feel. That’s no criticism as SA Cosby brilliantly combines lit fit and street.
I loved this new to me aspect of police work that of a source handler. It’s fascinating stuff, and it adds in an action vibe too.
I enjoyed how Maddie presents herself to the reader and how things develop. She’s a character who I took to immediately, an astute reader of people, a sensible analytical head in her shoulders, with a good bullsh*t radar.
The only reason this isn’t the full house of stars is there’s a section showing Abigail’s private life earlier on in the book which I felt let the pace slide, I thought I might have seen the link to it by the end of the book, but alas no! It might come further down the line in the series.
This is another winner from a favourite author of mine. The time is right to jump in, as it’s the start of an exciting new series. One for crime lovers, especially if you fancy something a little different.

Not being familiar with Charlie Gallagher’s work, I decided to read reviews of his other works before diving in to “Six Hours to Live”. From what I gathered, he is known for his gritty writing and character work.
The concept for “Six Hours to Live” sounded like a heart-pounding novel that I just had to read. The concept is played out a little bit differently than I had imagined, but it was not a bad thing. This book is well written, and I loved the dynamics between the characters. There were a few moments that I wished Abigail didn’t repeat her reason for hating the police, but it served its purpose to introduce her as the main character going forward. I did find it interesting that the author mentioned she was not originally the focus, but she refused to stay in the background. You can definitely see that in how the novel plays out.
This is an excellent introduction to a series, and I look forward to continuing this series.

Review:
You know when you see Charlie has written another book it’s going to be a good read. This one was no exception.
It starts off with a woman inside a locked shipping container which is slowly filling with water in an abandoned warehouse in Margate. Her husband gets a message and he goes to see her, she has six hours to live.
Well if that’s not enough to give you the heeby jeebies, it gets worse from there on in!
One police officer is tasked with finding who’s behind it and with the help of an old informant, who I thought was more of a hindrance, she puts the pieces together.
It’s a race against time for the police to find out where the people are and if they’re alive. Good job it wasn’t me, I couldn’t tread water!
Another enjoyable book by Charlie and a bit darker than normal. I always enjoy his books and this was no exception.
My thanks to Charlie and Joffe publishers for the ARC.

Six hours to save a life is such a stressful, compelling setup, and it made this story instantly bingeable for me.
This was my first read by Charlie Gallagher, and I honestly really enjoyed his writing style. It’s straightforward, fast-paced, and immediately pulls you into the story without feeling overly complicated. The premise hooked me right away — six hours to save a woman trapped in a shipping container is such a high-stakes setup, and the tension starts almost instantly.
I liked how the story balanced the frantic race against time with the police investigation, especially with Abigail Morton as the lead. She’s a great character: smart, a little unconventional, and easy to root for. Overall, this felt like a solid, entertaining thriller with a gripping concept and a writing style that kept me turning pages. I’ll definitely be checking out more from this author.

Sharp dialogue, high tension and a detective you will love
I have read several books by Charlie Gallagher and have enjoyed every one, and Six Hours to Live is no exception. I was hooked from the very first chapter and found it an immediately engaging read.
The story is tense and pacey throughout, making it hard to put down. I especially loved the main character, Angela. She is edgy, gritty and far from a typical police heroine, with her tattoos and steely attitude. She reminded me of characters like Robert Bryndza’s DI Helen Grace and Chris Mooney’s DCI Darby McCormick, so if you enjoy those authors, this will be right up your street.
Much of the book is driven by dialogue, which works really well and keeps the pace moving. One of the men Angela interviews (no spoilers!) gives off a real Silence of the Lambs vibe… chilling, unnerving and utterly compelling.
Overall, this is a gripping crime thriller with strong characters and plenty of tension. I would definitely recommend it to fans of fast-paced police procedurals.

Former Police Officer turned author Charlie Gallagher writes consistently great books across both his Psychological Thrillers and series Crime. I recently binged his excellent Maddie Ives series so was eager to dive into this, the first book in the Abigail Morton series.
A unique selling point is that series focuses on police source handlers and their informants, something I’ve not read before.
A double m*rder, elaborately staged so the victims’ loved ones will race to the scene, just in time - to witness the deaths…
It’s all there, the characters, the tension, the believable Police framework and the dramatic finale. I felt there was a little too long on Abigail deciding whether to get involved or not, it’s when she commits and gets stuck in that it really takes off.
Obviously setting up to be another involved and successful series from Charlie Gallagher, and I look forward to seeing where this series goes next.

You tend to know what you get from this author which is a well-written story that will have you hooked from beginning to end. This is the first in a new series that continues the trend. It features a disgruntled Abigail Morton who is trying to resign from the police but finds herself dragged into a mess involving a source handling team and some dead women, one of which is a police source and one of which is the wife of a source.
It was riveting all the way through. The concept of a specific source handling team was new to me. The character of Abigail was interesting, quite feisty and determined yet shrewd and resourceful and I felt for her being dropped into things by the DCI and then by a member of the source handling team. The tension was palpable throughout and I absolutely loved how the tables were turned at the end. Brilliant writing and I'm so glad we've now gotten another book from the author. It feels like it's been a while but this is well worth the wait.

Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books.
Two women drowned in a shipping container and a message reading ‘Drown the rats’ that seems to imply a connection between them and a clear warning.
PC Abigail Morton, disillusioned with her job and having resigned, is brought back to the case because of her skills. Now it's a matter of finding out the motives and the culprit before more victims appear.
The novel draws you perfectly into the story, set in the world of informants, where as you read on, you feel as if you are part of the team, racing against the clock.
The characters are interesting, with their own personalities and motivations so diverse that they will keep you guessing throughout, with intriguing twists.
An original plot that keeps you engrossed until the very end.

This is a fast-paced thriller with an engaging twist that keeps you hooked from early on. While there are a few slower moments in the story, they don’t take away from the overall experience. The plot is very enjoyable, entertaining, and genuinely hard to put down. I found myself eager to keep reading just to see how everything would unfold. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but it definitely won’t be the last. His other books are already on my wishlist, and I’m looking forward to diving into more of his work.

My first book from this author (and the series) but I got drawn in immediately. Two women who leave home as normal, and hours later are drowned in horrific circumstances. DCI Paul Cotterill is tasked with the investigation. Abigail is on the threshold of quitting her job with the police service but is called upon to help and is understandably reluctant to do so. An excellent police procedural that delves into the dark world of undercover policing, informants and moral duty. I’ll be checking out the rest of this series. Thanks to the author & publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, this is a bit of a rollercoaster read, with a relentless pace and jam packed full of suspense! I loved PC Abigail Morton, she is unconventional, feisty and does things her own way and in her own style. The Margate setting worked really well and the plotting is unique, original and fresh in the crime fiction genre. Charlie Gallagher never disappoints and is up with the best in the genre. I can highly recommend his books to fans of JD Kirk, Mark Billingham, etc. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

A very tense thriller.
This is Charlie Gallagher's twentieth book. i had read the hugely successful Maddie Ives series and a couple of her other books and so my expectations for this one were high. I didn't disappoint.
It opens with a woman trapped in a shipping container that is slowly filling with water, and the high tension that creates remains throughout.
Here we are presented with a very good combination of a psychological thriller and a police procedural story. it features the work of part of the Police Force that deals with confidential informant and gives an interesting insight into some of their methods of operating to try to keep their sources as safe as possible.
The author has created a very complex character in Abigail Moreton, and the book is labelled as the first of a series. I shall look forward to reading more about her and her further cases.

Thank you Joffe Books four the approval to read this book.
While the concept of the book made this story a nail biting force for those that serve in them name of justice to find a VERY mentality sock killer.
Reading Six Hours To Live turned out to be okay. Absolutely terrifying for the women dying in them shipping containers... beyond that, well it didn't pan out for me. The connection I was suppose to feel to characters never really materialized; or felt as if you're RIGHT THERE experiencing what is being endured.

Good thriller with a wild ride along.
Abigail, a chief constable officer in Margate, is called to work the case of a warehouse where a woman was drowned in a shipping container that filled with water while she scratched and clawed looking for an escape.
Her husband received a text instructing him to go to the warehouse, where he watched her drown, in horror, as he tried to help her find a way out.
Grabs you from page one with twists along the way.
Good suspenseful read.

A good gripping thriller full of drama and surprises. The anticipation and suspense slowly builds as to what is going to happen on the Solstice, the longest day of the year. I loved the intriguing way, the police carry out their procedures. Highly recommended.

Thanks to NetGalley and Joffe Books for an advance reader copy. If you want a synopsis, click on the book.
This was my first Charlie Gallagher novel and I enjoyed it very much. It's different - an original police drama centred on informant source handling rather than the usual crime-solving. The story is well-written and intriguing with an edgy main character. There are twists and turns and a satisfying ending. What more do you want?
