Review
'Cole is brilliant at portraying the good among the bad, and vice versa, so until the very end we never quite know who to trust. This is the very stuff that makes her so compelling' (Daily Mirror)
No one writes about East End women and their vagaries like Martina Cole (Maxim Jakubowski, Murder One)
'A powerful novel that pulls no punches... Cole has an ear for the vernacular of the East End, as well as an ability to portray the viciousness of life at the edge' the Guide ( Guide )
'Right from the start [Cole] has enjoyed unqualified approval for her distinctive and powerfully written fiction' (The Times)
Intensely readable (Guardian)
'Martina Cole explores the shady criminal underworld, a setting she is fast making her own' ( Sunday Express )
'Utterly compelling' ( Mirror )
'The story will grip you from the first pages' ( Best )
'Gritty novel from an author who knows intimately the world she writes about' ( Express ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

I had never read any books by Martina Cole before this one and I couldn't put it down.
Her unique way of describing all the characters made you feel that they were personally known. I think that I must have gone through every emotion whilst reading this book. One minute crying and the next,laughing.
This may well be fiction but nevertheless totally believable and you can't help thinking in several parts of the book, 'there but for the grace of God go I'.
Although the language is very strong at times, it is completely in context of the storyline and should not be offensive to any reader. If you have read other books by Ms Cole than I am sure that you know what to expect!
I am in the process of collecting all her books. She is simply the best. I feel privilaged to have the ability to read and for anyone who has trouble with words, get help as if you don't read Martina Cole's books you will not have lived!!

WOW what a book. I lost two days of my life reading this book. Excellent story line I felt for the main character and the ending won't let you down. I will now read all of Martina's books.

I loved this book. Martina Cole writes so well about crime because she writes so well about people. Her characters make her books come alive, and FACELESS is possibly her best novel yet, with Marie Carter (initals 'MC', like the author, a coincidence?!) an intriguing but flawed heroine.
Martina Cole knows crime, she knows women, and she knows London which makes her books far better than the phoney 'Gangster Glam' portrayed in films like Lock, Stock. Here we see the horrible effects of crime and injustice, and the courage it takes fight against it. All in all, the most realistic city crime/thriller since Dexter Dias's superb 'Power of Attorney'. There's much in common between the two books, not least that both authors know what they are writing about. On balance I would have to say that 'Faceless' just shades 'Power of Attorney' for my fave unputdownable read of the year - but only just! Can't recommend them too much.
