Synopsis

Gabby looked at the woman she had hated nearly all her life. Then she sat down on the ladder-backed chair, put her face into her bloodied hands and cried.

To the outside world, Cynthia Tailor is a woman to envy; she has a devoted husband, a lovely home and two gorgeous children. But Cynthia is deeply unhappy with her lot; she has always craved the best things in life, and is determined to see that she gets them. Cynthia will let nothing stand in her way, even if it means devastation and tragedy for those nearest to her. And the casualties are many: her husband Jimmy, weak and unable to fight the wife he can never please; her sister Celeste, from whom Cynthia steals her most precious possession; and her parents, Mary and Jack, who pick up the pieces. But the victims who suffer the most are Cynthia's children. For James Junior and Gabby, the pain she causes will stay with them for ever...

Goodreads review by Best Crime Books & More on June 19, 2012

For the last three books that Martina Cole has written, I finish it and then promise myself I won't waste money buying it full price. I feel terrible saying that but it's the truth. I have always been a huge Martina Cole fan and loved the older books such as `Ladykillers'. Sadly it seems that many a......more

Goodreads review by Jane on October 21, 2019

Brilliant Cole's writing style is epic. She grabs you and drags you willingly into her world. It's like you have a part in it. You actually begin to care about everything. You even find yourself adding your own opinions. Crazy?....Right??? Enjoy......more

Goodreads review by Liz on February 24, 2012

I've read most of Martina Cole's books and usually they are paced well, interesting in content (though I think she may have overdone East-End gansters now) and have a good twist. But, this book was very poor. I also very much dislike books that tell you the ending in the first 2 pages - what's the p......more

Goodreads review by Anirudh on February 07, 2025

I'll start with the bad stuff: 1. Cynthia is the most despicable character to have ever graced the page: a fact that is both obvious and explicitly mentioned after every 3 sentences. While I'm always in favor of morally gray, even dark, characters; making a protagonist as hateful as this one made me......more
