This second part of the trilogy is fantastic and can't wait for the third part. This is a must read if you like east end gangster type reads. All about a family full of exceptional characters who are into violence, sex, drugs and more than loving thier own family to death, literally!

Gilda O'Neill is a fantastic East End crime writer both of fact and fiction. I've read two or three of her other novels and really enjoyed them and thought how similar a writer she is to Mandasue Heller and, to a slightly lesser extent, Martina Cole (O'Neill is not quite as horrific and foul-mouthed as Cole's books). I thoroughly enjoyed each of this particular East End Trilogy - Sins of Their Fathers, Make Us Traitors and Of Woman Born. Each book was an excellent story in its own right and if you wanted to read only one you wouldn't feel that you'd lost much storyline by not reading the other two, although if reading all three you really must get them in the right order. All three are fast paced, gripping exciting reads.
The Sins Of Their Fathers (East End Trilogy 1) - an excellent start to the trilogy giving a good background to the O'Donnell family, Gabriel, his wife Eileen and their two fairly gentle daughters Patricia and Catherine and the two sons Brendan and Luke who follow their father in the family `business'. This book explains the relationship and initial meeting between the O'Donnells and their rivals, the Kesslers. There's never a dull moment in the book with violence and tragedy from the very start and also at the end !
Make Us Traitors (East End Trilogy 2) - carries on where Sins of Their Fathers left off with the two O'Donnell sons, Brendan and Luke, running the show now that their father is dead. This book brings Gabriel O'Donnell's (now dead father) illegitimate daughter into the family with the odd touch of tenderness between all the viciousness with the rival Kessler family. As with the previous book, there is tragedy and death at the end giving a very exciting finish.
Of Woman Born - this book is more up to date and doesn't quite start where the previous book finished. This book concentrates on the illegal trafficking of people, in this case mainly women for the sex trade. It's thankfully not too graphic but certainly doesn't hold back on the sleaze and violence in the lives of these women in their frightening and degrading situations. The O'Donnell and Kesslers are still key in this book but we are now into the grandchildren of the originals from Sins of Their Fathers. This book is just as gripping, fast paced and as violent as the first two with an ending that nicely rounds off the trilogy.
