"What's bred in the bone comes out in the blood."I was 'pressed' into reading this book by my dear wife who has practically devoured it on a recent holiday and who without divulging any details has spent all holiday telling me what a great book she was reading.Finally I gave in and read 'The Ladykiller', this being my first Martina Cole book ever. Now I know that my wife didn't exaggerate at all when she praised this book so much and I'm so glad to have read it myself. Written in the thirdI honestly don't know why this book has so many positive reviews. I was expecting a clever detective crime thriller where the main character actually manages to solve the crime. There is no mystery here. Kate Burrows is supposed to be this great detective (Patrick Kelly keeps re-iterating this), but she's next to useless. She demonstrates no detective prowess whatsoever. They only find out who did it by sheer chance, and the killer gets wasted by someone who's got nothing to do with any of the
Warning-You need a strong stomach for this book!.I have read a lot of Coles latest work but have many times seen this mentioned as one of her best books and I now agree and was not disappointed.This author has such a style of writing that keeps you wanting to read on & on and I truly could not put this book down over Christmas.Cole is my trusted author I can always rely on for a good read. I have never found myself wanting to skip pages/chunks of her books there is just too much suspense!.
Wow. Another new author. Thanks Elaine!!Kate Burrows is a DI (Detective Inspector), the Filth to some. I really liked her. She was strong, independent, sassy, stood up for herself and didn't really take any shite from anyone.Patrick Kelly, one step away from being a gangster. Tough, hard, rich, respected, feared.Oil and vineger maybe. But there was an attraction. Eventhough she was an Old Bill, a Filth, he trusted her somehow. Christ, the "bad guy" - what an evil, sadistic bastard he was. Yes,
This is an excellent book which grabbed me from the very first chapter. The author has developed her characters so well that even the very bad ones - even the exceedingly awful George Markham, are likable. All throughout this book I wanted to give it a 5, however, without including any spoilers, I found the ending a little weak, which left me disappointed. Even so, I will definitely read more books by Martina Cole.
My favourite of all the Martina Cole novels grabs you from page 1.
So good that I was on edge walking down the street afterward... George Markham a man you'd see everyday walking down the street...
