- Not Mandasue Heller either
I saw this book and decided to buy it, being a Martina Cole/Mandasue Heller fan. But I was surprised.
It was nothing like I expected it to be. From the first page, I found myself just reading, not because the plot was so scintillating i couldn't put it down, but because it was a light, easy read. Perfect for filling a few hours on a rainy day or a light read before bedtime.
It is not rocket science, it doesn't tell you how to split the atom, but its' good.
It follows the 4 gangsters wives, Poppy, Niki, Sadie and Kate. After one of the husbands is put into prison, it is basically about how his wife and her cohorts go about trying to get by when the money runs dry.

- Let Down
Only one word to describe this book really...awful. I love the Martina Cole and Mandasue Heller genre. Having read all their books I was in search of a new author.

What a waste of time, effort and money this book was, a total disappointment. Poor characters, poor story and appalling writing.

Please save yourselves

- Rainy Day Read
Curl up on a wet, cold, rainy day with a cup of hot chocolate and lose yourself in this book for a few enjoyable hours. Very easy read and very enjoyable to lose the stress and strains of life for a good few hours. Loved it and will look out for more publications from this author.

- Gangsters Wives - what a con!
Awful book, basic idea with no thought to the characters.

Very stereotyped, and in all honestly an absolute crap book.

If you're interested in crime fiction, then don't waste your money!

- NOT a Martina Cole read
I find it perplexing when someone as unique and absorbing an author as Martina Cole gets somehow roped into front cover recommendations on a book that is not worthy of any of her work.
It is an easy,predictable and unchallenging read, with truly unbelieveable characters that don't end up the chiselled images in your head that many of Martina's do. (Maura's game etc)
The true villans code is dissolved virtually the instant that temptation crosses these women, which is an unlikely scenario for people whose not unsubstantial livelihoods have grown from sticking to it.
(A hardened gangsters wife, sleeping with an Asian policeman, hours after meeting him....I dont think so.)
If you want something to read in a day, then fine, ... Read More:
