Dangerous Lady: A gritty thriller about the toughest woman in London's criminal underworld

Product Information

The plot covers the exploits of the Ryan family up to the mid-1980s, culminating in the death of Michael Ryan and the arrest of Maura.

Despite this being predominantly a crime novel, I loved the way that the family saga was wound and weaved into the story. Several of Martina's novels have been adapted for the screen, including The Take and The Runaway which were shown on Sky 1 to remarkable reviews.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

To me, it's a testament to his talent that he could make such an unpleasant individual sympathetic and, at times, vulnerable.

Seems an unconvincing tale, a bit too romantic and totally unconvincing, but that's where she set off on her path to fame and the book was an instant best-seller. When it comes to the crunch, Maura has to face the pain of lost love in her past —and the dangerous lady discovers her heart is not made entirely of stone. She has achieved sales of over fourteen million in the UK alone and her tenth novel, The Know, spent seven weeks on The Sunday Times hardback best-sellers list. Read Martina Cole’s iconic first novel, Dangerous Lady – the novel that crowned her the Queen of Crime – and it’s gripping sequel, Maura’s Game.

I only read to the end to see if I was missing something (no) and did it make me think - not at all. Full details of your rights under the Distance Selling Regulations are available in the UK from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or your Local Authority's Trading Standards Office. The police are determined to put away Maura once and for all - and not everyone in the family thinks that's such a bad idea. I found myself laughing at the witty sayings and descriptions she has a clever way of describing people and things.
