Product Description
Product Description
Caution, not for the faint hearted, if you have strong virtuous beliefs, moral code, please do not read this book, as you will find it offensive. 'The Penance List' looks at the power of sex: the misuse of that power and the carnage it causes. A thriller based in Chelsea, London and the stunning Amalfi Coast, Italy, involving modern fun loving glamorous women and the not so glamorous world of models, footballers, paedophiles, prostitutes and the media. What becomes of a young beautiful altar boy after years of sexual abuse? The reader will see through the eyes of David, a psychotic serial killer, as he weaves in and out of the lives of the innocent and not so innocent. He will absolve them of their sins; his preferred form of penance is humiliation (mind fuck), rape and vivisection - dissection for the lucky ones. We follow the fun loving Tara and her girls, who enjoy nothing more than to giggle about men and their disastrous sex lives. They have no idea that they, and their lovers every move is being captured on film, that they are on a death list. book cover artwork by Scarlett Raven; www.scarlettraven.com www.thepenancelist.com
About the Author
Cunningham was raised within a devout Irish catholic family. She attended an English convent boarding school (Ascot, Berkshire) from the age of 8 and later moved to London at the age of 18 where she began a modeling career. She married a rock musician and spent 8 years in the heady world of the music business. After divorce, she needed a complete career change and ended up in football, working at Chelsea Football Club and then a major sports star management company whose clients included David Beckham, Michael Owen, John Terry, Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker, to name but a few. She then moved on to spend 5 years working with other high spirited thoroughbreds, the regulators of English horse racing, The Jockey Club. . . . but that is another book! Having crossed the paths of two psychotic killers (thankfully unscathed), witnessed the wrath of misguided religion and the abuse of money, sex, drugs, fame and power first hand, she was drawn to write this story. By the time it came to finishing 'The Penance List' Cunningham had fallen in love with her characters and wanted more indulgent time with them, hence the 'The David Trilogy' was born. 'The Penance List' is the first book. Enjoy. book cover artwork by Scarlett Raven; www.scarlettraven.com

I have just returned from holiday, having taken The Penance List on my kindle as an Audible book.....i was addicted, it is a fantastic story and i cant wait for the next installment.
It is very naughty, with some laugh out loud bits, some sad bits and some very horny bits, I would love to have seen Siobhan record it!!!!

Boy, if anyone can write about sex this lady can! It's a complete turn on from start to finish - I'm ashamed to say even the sadistic bits have erotic appeal - and no writer's ever done that for me before!!
I love the characters - they involve you straight away and the plot keeps you hooked right to the end.... what end? I'm going to read the next two parts of the trilogy as soon as I can get hold of them.
You're a very brave lady Ms Cunningham, and I love what you've done: you've somehow given us all the things we want to read about in one. It makes you shiver, it makes you laugh out loud, it intrigues you, it arouses you... you don't feel guilty lapping up the horror because the characters in one way or another seem to deserve it (or get their revenge for it). No, I'd be happy 'hanging out' with those girls and fantasising about that sex.Mmmmm!!!

Couldn't put it down - a real page turner. Nicely crafted and highly unusual format with all the threads coming together right at the end. It's in a category all of its own and would make a great film. I look forward to the sequels. Well done.
