If you can’t trust your family…
A family at war. A mother who comes out fighting…
Maureen Hutton’s life has never been easy. Married to an alcoholic and stuck on a council estate in East London, she scrimps and saves to bring up her three children alone.
Murder, the underworld, drug addiction – over four decades, Maureen sticks by her blood through thick and thin. But then the unforgivable happens. Maureen is told a terrible secret which threatens to rip her family apart. She can’t say anything. She is too frightened of causing a bloodbath.
The only thing Maureen can do is to get rid of the betrayer, before it is too late.
As we all now I love Kimberley's books and have always enjoyed them that much that it doesn't take me long to finish one of her books. And by god shes done it again only taken me a week to read this one. Always makes I hard to choose another book after reading her books and it always takes me a few days to find the next book to grab me.
When Maureen starts to feel ill she realises it only a matter of time before she has to tell her family. She lives for her family its all shes ever wanted and always put them first even before her health.
Maureen has two boys and a daughter but she seems to favour James her youngest lad as he's the brain box and wants him to go far in his live so when her oldest boy Tommy tries to lead him astray she lays the law down but would she be happy that Tommy involved James in hiding evidence of the lad Tommy killed.
After Tommy come home from prison he had changed he wasn't the same lad as he was beforehand, he might have grown up but he was still the same lad who wanted the easy life and money in his back pocket. But he was determined not to turn out like his father a alcoholic and didn't care about his kids and his wife and had left them to it.
Ethel was Tommy seniors mother and she was one of them woman who could get away with anything even the cops couldn't get her for all the five finger discounts she did. But she has always been there for Maureen and been her rock when times got hard. Even when her kids grew up she was always there to clean up after them and guide them in the right direction. Even when Tommy did the unthinkable thing he could do to anyone let alone his brothers wife.
This book is another 5 stars for me I know I give a load of 5 star reviews but the books deserve them
