By M. Evans
Format:Hardcover
What an awful disappointment and a let down to her fans! I have read all of Martina's previous books and had been looking forward to reading this book for weeks. From the second chapter on I started to get more and more frustrated with the repetition, meaningless dialogue and feeble 'plot'. Every third or fourth sentence was a repeat of a previous one (with only the wording being rearranged) and made Martina appear as if she just couldn't be bothered with trying to come up with something different. The lack of substance to the book was insulting to the reader - it just seems to be money for old rope to me. Nothing like earlier books such as Ladykiller, Broken and Dangerous Lady which gripped the reader and made you feel you actually cared for the characters in the book. Pull your socks up Martina with Authors like Mark Billingham, Mo Hayder and the like you'll have to do better than this!!

I was eager to read this book having read everything Martina Cole has previously written and been unable to put down from opening at page 1. Faces is the most non-story I think I have ever read. It was repetitious to the point of being annoying and I only kept reading because I was hoping I could find a story which would explain the 500 odd pages of descriptive, repetitive text. What a huge disappointment this book was.

Pretty disappointing, I've read all of Martina Cole's previous books and she's written some brilliant, mesmerising stuff. This was just a churned out amalgamation of some of her other characters but without a storyline, like she'd written it in her sleep as the publication date was due. I have to admit it I got pretty sick of the constant mention of 'Danny Boy Cadogan' and'being a face' that I started to skim read just to get to the end. Please Martina, take some time out and get back to your best!!

An excellent and well read story
We really love the stories written by this author. The stories are well written and very well read. They are totally believable, excellent to listen to on a long car journey.
