Format:Paperback
The first Mandasue Heller book that I have read, I chose it after reading reviews that compare her style to that of my favourite Martina Cole. I would suggest that whilst her style is similar, Mandasue is much less harsh than Martina & Mandasue seems to write about the here & now / the current story rather than offering a history to the characters, which Martina does so entriguingly. Quite a short little read that had me hooked from page 1 throughout. Being a Manchester girl, it was quite nice (if a little scary!) to be familiar with the areas described in the book. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

About 6 months ago there was a Crime Writers night on at my local bookshop and Mandasue Heller was one of the authors who was going to be there. It was only then that I read one of her books - and was I glad I did! The writing is stunning, the characters are incredibly realistic (although most probably aren't the sort I'd spend time with!) and the storyline is fantastically well written. I have since read the rest of her books and she only gets better! You won't be disappointed!

I have read all of Mandasue Heller's books, it is like opening a big Christmas Present, you start off with the feeling that this is going to be great, and for the most part it is, but as always, the endings are condensed into the last chapter, with no epilogue, as to what happens to the characters you have read about and to a certain extent got invloved with throughout the book..and want to know what finally happens to them...they end abruptly, almost like the author decides the book is too long, lets end it now. It is a shame, as for the most part the stories are well written, and gripping. More polish and substance is needed to conclude her novels.

Reader from Langley Mill, Notts
Whilst a good book, the characters are fairly one dimensional and I didn't enjoy it as much as some of her other books. Read more
