Product Information

The storytelling far outweighs the predictable text and if I had to make a negative comment I'd say she should cut out the repetition of the words 'and he knew it' or 'and they knew it' or 'they all knew it'. This book is the sequel to "Dangerous Lady" and continued the story of Maura Ryan and her family who are one of the head crime families in London. I felt that this book however went on too long, it started to get repetitive and I just wanted it to be over. That said reading about Benny Ryan gluing people's eyes shut or stapling them was pretty awful, but not enough to give a book 1 star, if you can't handle a bit of swearing or violence then stick with kiddie books and leave Martina to the grown ups. then there's Maura's nephew, Benny, the image of his Uncle Michael, but so similar in character to his Uncle Garry.

Love the relationships of the dysfunctional family and there’s elements of wit amongst the violent and scheming ways of the Ryan family. But enemies from her past are closing in and they’re about to learn that they should never cross Maura Ryan. I had forgotten many plot points, but the head in the wardrobe has definitely always stayed with me. Eerste deel staat hier tussen aanhalingstekens omdat Martina Cole in eerste instantie niet van plan was om een vervolg te schrijven.

Read Martina Cole’s iconic first novel, Dangerous Lady – the novel that crowned her the Queen of Crime – and its gripping sequel, Maura’s Game.

A little disappointed though as throughout the book they were all amongst the agreement that Maura wanted out of the world and handing the reins over, yet the ending mentioned nothing of the sort and Maura still seems to be the one on top. p>Read about how we’ll protect and use your data in our Privacy Notice.
