Customer Reviews

Fantastic!
I have read all Ms Coles books to date and this would have to be the very very best I have read. It had me on the corner of my seat from the very 1st chapter and I read and read and read until the very last word. I was crying my eyes out in the end, so much so that I had to stop for a bit and compose myself before being able to finish this book. A wonderful story, fantastically thought out characters, descriptions that leave you breathless, a touch of humour and a tad of sadness. Left me wanting to re-read this one again and again! Can't wait for her new one to arrive on my doorstep!

Excellent Reading Could not put it down
Brilliant story, parts of the West End is as she tells it.Sleezy with all sorts of characters lurking behind every corner waiting to pounce on the innocents. I have read all of Martina Coles books and wait in anticipation for her next one. I have just bought "Broken" and I am saving it for my holidays which is not until September I keep going to the Bookshelf to read it but knowing it will be brilliant I can wait, I have two weeks on an Island but I am sure to read it in a few days I cannot wait. Keep writing Martina.

Fab book!!
The first of Martina Cole's books that I read and still remains one of my favourites that I find myself going back to again and again. The characters are all very different, but all linked through one character.

Enjoyed this book so much that I've bought all her other ones.

Highly recommended!!
