I really enjoyed this, despite having pre-existing ideas about Cole's writing. The story is very gripping and Cole does not use as many over-repeated phrases as her other books, although there is still a fair bit of Cockney slang written into it. (Some of which, I was forced to google!)

The anatagonist, George Markham, is a truly chilling character. The protagonist, Kate Burrows is a tough cop who's façade is only let down by her truly pathetic infatuation with the local mafiosa, Patrick Kelly.

Overall, a good read and very unputdownable. Shame Cole doesn't write like this all the time!
