review 1: There's no denying it; this is a good book.It's well-written and in-depth, and I enjoy my crime stories to shoot along at a fast pace. It certainly does that.I need to explain that I usually pick up a book and devour it. There was something about this which made me put it down two or three times. Maybe my head just wasn't in the right place, or maybe it's because I'm not keen on gangland stories. Whichever it was, I'm not going to blame the author.Like I said, it is a GREAT story and it's told very well, so I'm giving it four stars.It just wasn't for me.
review 2: The story of Annie Carter who gets chucked out of her house by her mother (for sleeping with her sister’s fiancé) and goes to stay with her Aunty who coincidently runs a brothel! The recurring the
... moreme is that Annie is still in love with Max (her sister’s now husband), yet her sister has turned to drink (just like their mother) and is very bitter about her sister sleeping with her then fiancé (as you would be of course!). Annie ends up running the brothel herself after her Aunty does a moonlight flit.So the plot revolves around Max and Annie, with appearances from the employees of the brothel, some dimwit (sorry can’t remember his name), who is crucial to the story, but can’t say to much more without spoiling it.I thought it was OK. It was advertised to be “just like Martina Cole”. I don’t agree with this. I believe fans of Martina Cole may enjoy this, but the style of writing and the pace of the story are different. It’s just the subject matter that is similar and the fact that there is a lot of swear words in the book. I don’t feel that this story really picked up until near the end of the book, and also repeated bits that were unnecessary. Having said that, it was an enjoyable quick read and I have ordered the sequel from the library. less
