Roberta Kray

From the moment I met Lolly ( later Lita) I knew I would love this book. From a young age she has had to fight , dealing with a mum who for to various reasons couldn't care for her but they loved each other until her death . Lolly is taken in by someone who just sees pound signs ..which are connected to the mystery and intrigue that gradually starts to reveal itself . Her life then changes again until that life comes to an end and she's on her own again. We learn more but not the whole story and I loved the character so much I ordered the sequel " Stolen ' before id finished it.
Roberta has made it into my top 3 favourite authors ( and there's a lot of competition ) . And Lolly / Lita's story and indeed Roberta herself has become a keeper .
Don't want her story to end . But also want to find out who did what.… (más)

Story about a widow who gets caught up in a kidnapping of a London underground's villain's daughter. OK thriller with a twist at the end. This book for me however was not grity enough for where it is set. I have two main critisms, the first being the swearing. Whether you love it or hate it people swear. In the enviroment this book has been set there would have been a lot more swearing than what is in the book. This does not affect the story line but in real life there woulld have been more. ( Am i been too Picky ?)
The other is that the author was married to Reggie Kray and has gained a lot of knowledge about the ganster east end of London, so I think a lot more of this knowledge could have been used in the book, agian am I being too picky ? Would like to have seen a romance between Jo and Miller. Still an OK read in the vain of Martina Cole but not quite as good.… (más)
