The Good Life tells a great story and an easy read. I enjoyed it, although some of the graphic detail of murders were a bit difficult. If you are not easily offended by bad language or violence, you might enjoy The Good Life too. In March 2011 The Runaway, was shown on Sky1 and Sky1 HD. It is based on Cole's 1997 novel of the same name. [8] I am by no means an expert in English literature (you'll have to bear with me and my critiquing on this review!) but I honestly cannot understand how anyone could think that this was a good novel. Cain Moran wanted Jenny Riley more than he had ever wanted anyone or anything before in his life. But loving Jenny Riley was the easy part....

Goodnight Lady came second, followed in third by Maura's Game. Dowell, Ben (17 April 2008). "Sky to air Cole novel adaptations". The Guardian . Retrieved 5 November 2015. Los capítulos son muy breves y eso ayuda a que la lectura sea fluida durante la mayor parte del tiempo, pero eso no impidió que yo siguiera pensando que sobraban páginas y que la autora cometió un error monumental con el dichoso prólogo y la sinopsis. I really wanted to like this book as I had heard so much about it. However, it took some time to get used to the writing style and although I know it is about gangland crime I found the swearing to be totally excessive. Every second word was peppered with an 'F' this and 'C' that. Having said that, Martina Cole is a highly entertaining author and her books bring you on quite a journey. This is the second book I have read by Martina Cole, because I wanted to give her writing another chance, however it will be the last. Perhaps that's down to my own personal taste as there is a huge market for this sort of writing in the UK. It's just not for me.When the bodies of missing schoolgirls start turning up, former DCI Kate Burrows is dragged out of retirement. Cain Moran wanted Jenny Riley more than he had ever wanted anyone or anything before in his life. But loving Jenny Riley was the easy part; it was telling his wife he wanted a divorce that was going to be the killer... This was my first Martina Cole book so my expectations were fairly high...after all Cole is considered to be one of the great British best-selling crime authors. What I expected was a gripping and gritty crime novel, what I got was a complete mess. James, Erwin (28 October 2010). "Britain's queen of crime: Martina Cole". The Guardian . Retrieved 5 November 2015. Cole filmed an investigative documentary, Martina Cole Girl Gangs: Los Angeles for Sky1 in 2009.
