Relation Toward Books Dangerous Lady (Maura Ryan #1)
No one thinks a seventeen-year-old girl can take on the hard men of London's gangland, but it's a mistake to underestimate Maura Ryan: she's tough, clever and beautiful —and she's determined that nothing will stand in her way. Which makes her one very dangerous lady. Together, she and her brother Michael are unbeatable: the Queen and King of organised crime, they run the pubs and clubs, the prostitutes and pimps of the West End. With Maura masterminding it, they pull off an audicious gold bullion robbery and have much of the Establishment in their pockets. But notoriety has its price. The police are determined to put Maura away once and for all —and not everyone in the family thinks that's such a bad idea. When it comes to the crunch, Maura has to face the pain of lost love in her past —and the dangerous lady discovers her heart is not made entirely of stone.

This is the first time I have read a Martina Cole novel and it was fantastic!! It is not the normal sort of thing I go for -gangland crime and murder but I was surprise and every pleased to learn that I could not put it down! It was so easy to read, even though there are many characters, it switches from one to another with ease and every chapter leaves you desperate to know what happens in he next!I am looking forward to reading the sequel and I have also downloaded four other Cole novels whichIll tell what I was going to say when I finished this book, my first Martina Cole gangland novel. I had it in mind to muse on the fact that she is a best-selling author, that she certainly knows the world of crime and criminals and that she is without any doubt a compelling story teller. Dangerous Lady absolutely zips along and the reader is drawn into a gripping crime story, a crime saga, dealing as it does with the Ryans, an East End criminal family, over a period of thirty years. Its a tale
I decided to try this as I had always heard of Martina Cole but never thought it would be something I would fancy. My gran and some friends raved about her so I decided to give her a go. I'm so glad I did as she's a fantastic writer and I loved the characters created and really was hooked. Gutted it took me so long to read one but glad to have finally got round to it.
This book started my long obsession with Martina Cole...great gritty stuff. Mobs, drugs, crime, sex, power...it's got it all! Love Martina Cole and this book was amazing!! Couldn't put it down!
'Oh him, he's about as much good as an ashtray on a motorbike'I have a handful of go to authors who I know wont disappoint me and Martina Cole is one of those authors. This is my eighth Cole novel and her first. I loved it just as much as everything else I've read by her.Cole gets right into the heart of London West End, the gangs, the drugs, the family ties, the values. The violence, the love, the loss and it brutally raw. This novel runs a tried and tested formula of Cole's, one family, four
Excellent Britsh saga about a criminal firm run by the Ryan family.
I read this back in 2007 when my thoughts were that while I felt the style of this book wasn't what I expected, I thoroughly enjoyed it & felt I would certainly read more.Sadly all the other of Cole's books I've read since, maybe 2 0r 3 of them, have been pretty much identical, full of cold-hearted vicious thugs with no redeeming features so I don't read them anymore.
