Kate Kray, former wife of Ronnie Kray is a best selling true crime author and 'The Betrayed' is Kates first 'fiction' novel. I couldnt' put this book down and read it in 9 hours. In the very beginning out of respect for Kate as I don't naturally gravitate towards this genre, but soon in (certainly well before the 100 page rule) I was thoroughly drawn into the well grounded plot. Featuring some unsavoury sex scenes alongside natural justice i'm left with a kind of sour taste in my mouth whilst anticipatorily waiting for the sequel. Certainly not just another dross crime book written purely for men, this one has appeal for the informed lady too. A++++++.
