Product Description

Product Description

When Dot McCann, playing relievio with her pals, decides to hide in Butcher Rathbone's almost empty dustbin, she overhears a conversation which could send one man to prison and the other to the gallows - and suddenly finds herself in possession of stolen goods. Dot lives with her aunt and uncle, the cuckoo in the nest, abandoned to these relatives after her parents died. She feels very alone ...until she meets up with Corky who has run away from a London orphanage. They join forces with Emma, whose jeweller's shop has been burgled and with Nick, a handsome young newspaper reporter who is investigating the crime. The four of them begin to plot to catch the thieves. But Dot and Emma have been recognised, and soon both are in very real danger ...Set in Liverpool in the 1920s "The Cuckoo Child" is vintage Katie Flynn.

1.0 out of 5 stars a let down, 13 Aug 2005
By A Customer
This was a very disapointing read from Katie Flynn, who's previous books I have thoroughly enjoyed. Not so this one. I am sorry to say i found it tedious and boring.
The story line is cheesey and obvious. 3/4 of the way through I skipped to the epilogue.
A serious let down for Katie Flynn fans. In the past her name alone would have sold a book to me. Sadly I will be more cautious in future.

5.0 out of 5 stars surprisingly different read, 5 Dec 2007
This review is from: The Cuckoo Child (Hardcover)
when i saw that this book only had two poor reviews i thought i needed to defend it.when i picked up this book, (which was on someone elses suggestion)i wasn't expecting such crime and violence. saying that it turned out to be one of the best books i have ever read so please give this book a try and you wont be able to put it down.x
