Martina Cole does it again with this book - pulling you into the life of crime. She captivates you with her characters. No frills, full of treachery from within.
Martina at her best
Another great read. True Martina Cole!
the Life
I cannot believe people gave this a five and four star rating. I have read around six or seven of her previous books and some have been better than others but this was just rubbish. The book could have been cut down to a 250 page novel and even that is probably too long. There was too much retracing how the family thought about each other and just uninteresting rubbish rather than telling more about how the family operated, how they dealt with their opposition and maintained their status. Quite frankly it was just boring reading but I kept reading on thinking it has to get better but even at the end it was all so abrupt and then thankfully ended.
