About this deal
All of the female characters were one-dimensional idiots, whose only defining traits was how much they care about (or hate) Cain Moran. This focused on the role of girls in these gangs, which have been responsible for crimes ranging from drug dealing and car theft to robbery and murder.
The DI Kate Burrows Quartet: The Ladykiller - Martina Cole
The story is still enjoyable, I just wish someone had pointed out the massive spoiler pre publishing and removed it, it would certainly have added more to the story finding out later.As I said, I haven’t read any other books by Martina Cole, but I’m starting to wonder whether they all follow a similar plot to this, like Cole has a “cookie-cutter” of what she knows sells, and is content to stick to this formula from here on out, thus eliminating the need for any more creativity or original thought.

Jenny's character changes personalities numerous times throughout the story to suit what's happening at the time which I found to be a little silly and unbelievable.

She has been writing in this genre since the early 90’s, and has therefore cemented her place in this genre.

It's been a while since I last read a Martina Cole book so I'm glad this was the one I chose to get me back into her work. I liked Cain from the outset, although Jenny did not seem to be the right type of person for him, I grew to respect her loyalty to her man and her family. Three of Cole's novels have been adapted for the stage by the Theatre Royal, Stratford East, London: Two Women in 2010; The Graft in 2011, and Cole's first novel, Dangerous Lady in 2012.

While he confessed to several killings, he was only convicted of one and executed via electric chair in 1965 (per History).I certainly think this will please her long standing fans, and some people who may have been disheartened lately may feel there is now hope for the future MC books. THE LADYKILLER is the first book in the DI Kate Burrows series: the only time the 'undisputed queen of crime writing' ( Guardian) and Sunday Times bestseller Martina Cole has written from the perspective of the Old Bill. While the documentary was praised for its inclusion of interviews with people who knew him, it can jump from one point to the next in a frenetic manner and is certainly not as polished as other offerings. Devil in Disguise is a 6 episode mini-series that covers everything there is to know about the tragic murders, including an old interview between Gacy and Robert Ressler. As reported by the BBC, the couple tortured and killed twelve people, two of which were Fred West's biological daughter from a previous marriage and the daughter he had with Rose.
