What I enjoy about the books of Martina Cole are her fast paced plots and great characters, especially the women characters. The hunt for the serial rapist/killer of Grantley takes a back step to the relationship between DI Kate Burrows and her involvement with the shady but quite delicious Patrick Kelly. The novel isn't quite the police procedural which I first thought it would be.I enjoyed the style of writing, the seediness and grittiness of these novels and the underbelly of a darker"What's bred in the bone comes out in the blood."I was 'pressed' into reading this book by my dear wife who has practically devoured it on a recent holiday and who without divulging any details has spent all holiday telling me what a great book she was reading.Finally I gave in and read 'The Ladykiller', this being my first Martina Cole book ever. Now I know that my wife didn't exaggerate at all when she praised this book so much and I'm so glad to have read it myself. Written in the third
There are different genres of crime fiction. In terms of telling a gritty realistic British crime story from a woman's perspective Martina Cole is the best in Britain. I've read most of her books but I keep coming back to The Ladykiller. It's the best serial killer novel I've ever read. Martina really gets inside the mind of her killer and is not afraid to show how much pleasure he derives from his crimes. Too often this aspect of a killers motivation is overlooked. Yes, they might feel

This is an excellent book which grabbed me from the very first chapter. The author has developed her characters so well that even the very bad ones - even the exceedingly awful George Markham, are likable. All throughout this book I wanted to give it a 5, however, without including any spoilers, I found the ending a little weak, which left me disappointed. Even so, I will definitely read more books by Martina Cole.
My favourite of all the Martina Cole novels grabs you from page 1.
I honestly don't know why this book has so many positive reviews. I was expecting a clever detective crime thriller where the main character actually manages to solve the crime. There is no mystery here. Kate Burrows is supposed to be this great detective (Patrick Kelly keeps re-iterating this), but she's next to useless. She demonstrates no detective prowess whatsoever. They only find out who did it by sheer chance, and the killer gets wasted by someone who's got nothing to do with any of the
Great read. Really enjoyed this book.
