In 2018 we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the publication of THE LADYKILLER, the first of Martina’s novels to feature Kate Burrows. The Ripper is killing young women at random and then makes the mistake of raping and brutally murdering Mandy Kelly, the daughter of London gangster Patrick Kelly. Written back in the 90s, the thoughts it evoked in my mind as I was reading are still valid today, more than two decades later. The only real light in his life was his Ladykiller victim daughter -Kelly wants revenge, the Patrick Kelly way!

In 1896 she was hanged for the murder of Doris Marmon, a child in her care, but is suspected of having killed many more infants. From the beginning we know who the ripper is, just an ordinary-looking Englishman but with a secret nasty interest.

He vows revenge and so a manhunt between police and mobsters begins, though the Ripper always seems one step ahead as his victims mount up .The Grantley Ripper has attacked the daughter of one of London's most infamous gangsters, Patrick Kelly, and now Kate's investigation, along with her heart, are dangerously entwined with him. I would recommend it as i did really enjoy it but it misses a star due to the flaws i wrote about earlier. Some parts are so annoyingly repetitive, which only make the book way too thick than it should be, but do not help to improve the plot at all.

I would also say if you are looking for a literary genius then Martina Cole's writing will perhaps strike you as unsophisticated to say the least. p>The data controller is Headline Publishing Group Limited.
