Loyalty: The brand new novel from the bestselling author

Product Information

At the age of 15, she left her school studies as she was involved in a love affair which eventually led her to give birth to her first child at the age of 19. I am glad that in the end the family came together but I would have liked a much more shocking twist at the end.

That way the family would have completely different feelings at the end which I would have found interesting. The characterisation was as good as ever with the feisty, mouthy ex good time girl Reeva mother of the O'Hara family who likes a drink but has a heart of gold and would do anything for her children. In the same year, an investigative documentary was made whose title had her named mentioned and featured the female protagonists of her novels. I loved Cole's earlier books, particularly Burrows and the whole taboo of a copper hooking up with a criminal.I love how she pulls together her female characters especially, while some are in traditional family roles, they are hard as nails with such strong voices and they aren't doormats which is great and really refreshing in this genre where its all about the guys violently murdering each other to make a quid and earn respect.

The characters were excellently portrayed and the story developed at a decent pace and kept you reaching for the book again and again to see how it would all tie together in the end.It was obvious from the beginning that someone in the family would kill Aiden and I thought it would be Jade Dixon. What I didn’t like were how the power slowly starts to corrupt him and with that comes unsavoury behaviour towards both his girlfriend and his family. 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.

Here's your chance to read the opening lines of 'queen of crime fiction' Martina Cole's book Damaged to mark its paperback release yesterday. Cole's knowledge and understanding of police behaviour when conducting enquiries and procedures also seems woefully inadequate.I didn't like how interchangeable some of the characters became, they start off with strict principles but fast forward X amount of time later and they have a complete switch. In addition, Two Women and The Graft have been adapted for the stage; both were highly acclaimed when performed at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, which also staged Dangerous Lady in 2012, celebrating twenty years since Martina's debut novel was published.

The novels written by her have successfully achieved the sale of more than 10 million in the United Kingdom alone.As a massive fan of Martina Cole books and having read/loved the previous Kate Burrow books 1 to 3, I couldn't read to lose myself into this fourth story featuring DI Kate Burrows. I did read all of the bad reviews but still thought I would give it the benefit of the doubt, all I can say is I only paid 99p and I think that is still to much. Her repetitiveness in this book was highly noticeable and some of the side plots seemed pointless after reading the rushed ending. But again, like many others, I have been left disappointed with her more recent work and I have to say that ‘Get Even’ was no exception to that. A perplexing story which was perplexing until it was solved- just like that - the denouement happens on a single page then it ended.
