Review
'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 )
'Intensely readable' (Guardian )

'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'

I have read all Ms Coles books to date and this would have to be the very very best I have read. It had me on the corner of my seat from the very 1st chapter and I read and read and read until the very last word. I was crying my eyes out in the end, so much so that I had to stop for a bit and compose myself before being able to finish this book. A wonderful story, fantastically thought out characters, descriptions that leave you breathless, a touch of humour and a tad of sadness. Left me wanting to re-read this one again and again! Can't wait for her new one to arrive on my doorstep!

This is the first Martina Cole book that I have ever read. Gripping from the beginning and had me hooked. Violent and sad at the same time; never read any thriller that uses our own country's underworld for location, so found it more shocking because of that. Had to keep reading it to find out what would happen next. I can't wait to read the rest of Martina's books.
