So repetitive it was enought to want to make you puke even down to the swearing. A really weak story line - a child could have written better. Very dissappointed in an author whom I had always rated highly. Will not be picking up one of her books in a hurry again, thats for sure.

Typical Martina Cole novel. What with the word 'skullduggery' and phrases like 'swallowing your own knob' you know that you are reading one of her novels. Its a shame, because the foundations of her stories are good but the repetitiveness of said words and phrases in EVERY one of her books has become really tedious. Along with lead characters that are literally carbon copies of lead characters from the book before, they have become disappointingly boring. I guessed who the 'serial killer' was after about 50 pages, it was glaringly obvious. If the familiarity of her books is why you like to read them, then this book will be as good as the last, but for me personally, the 'skullduggery' of her writing has in itself become too much for me to swallow, let alone anything else!!

About the author
Martina Cole's first novel Dangerous Lady caused a sensation when it was published, and launched one of the bestselling fiction writers of her generation. Martina has since gone on to have seventeen No. 1 bestsellers. She won the British Book Award for Crime Thriller of the Year with The Take, which then went on to be a hit TV series for Sky 1. Four of her novels have made it on the screen, with more in production, and three have been adapted as stage plays. Her unique, powerful storytelling is acclaimed for its hard-hitting, true-to-life style - there is no one like Martina Cole.
