I enjoy the crime-thriller genre and always thoroughly enjoy Martina Cole's books. Close did not disappoint.
The story begins with a young lady (Lil) struggling with life in general - home and work both burdening her life she seems to have no prospects or future until she meets Patrick Brodie. This man changes her life forever and it is definitly worth finding out how, why, what and when. The unimagineable happens to the love of Lil Brodies' husband and she is once again left to fend for herself, only now with several children in-tow. After helping her husband and due to his un-timely demise she must find alternative routes to earn money... not legitimate, of course.The aforementioned Ms. Cole can sometimes over-use her wording but her writing style in my opinion is second-to-none and she creates vivid imagery and I felt very attached to the characters. Moreover, Ms. Coles' books are somewhat similar so I cannot jump from book-to-book but once I am settled into one of her books I'm hooked. Martina seems to have a lot of insight into the criminal underworld and this assists her profusely in her writing - and also gives the reader a more rounded view.
