About The Book
Break the rules…
Harry Fletcher – Fletch to his friends – has spent his life surviving the tough streets of the East End. He knows working for notorious gangster Billy King is dangerous, and sleeping with Billy’s beautiful wife, Susan is deadly…but rules are meant to be broken.
Pay the price.
If Billy discovers the affair, Fletch is a dead man. But the closer he gets to Susan the more reckless Fletch becomes. And soon, Fletch realises that every one – even him – must pay the price for his actions.
But just what is Fletch prepared to lose…and will the cost be too high, even for him?
My Review
If you are looking for a gritty book that keeps you hooked, then you need to read this book. You truly feel as if you are there with the characters rather than reading about them on the page. The characters were also really intriguing. It was great to see how close families can be, how caring and loyal characters can be in one sense but then be involved in the dark, gritty lifestyle that they are.
This was my first book by the author and it certainly won’t be my last. I can’t wait to read some more from her as she has a real talent and kept me hooked all the way through. The book was dark and disturbing in places, also heartwarming in others and I had to keep going just to see what happened next.
A great four stars from me.
