EXCELLENT AUTHOR

ANOTHER ONE OF THE GREAT WRITERS.....I WOULD COMPARE HER TO A "MALE" GODFATHER WRITER LIKE MARIO PUZO.....I PERSONALLY LIKE HER, BETTER THAN THE PUZO BOOKS, ...AS HER BOOKS ARE NOT SO DETAILED IN POLITICS.....I HAVE READ "ALL" OF HER BOOKS.....AND ENJOYED "ALL" OF THEM...WHICH IS MOSTELY BASED ON THE "LONDON" MAFIA......SHE CERTAINLY GIVES YOU AN INDEPTH PRECEPTION OF THAT LIFE...AND ESPECIALLY ENJOYED THE "LONDON" JARGON SHE USES IN ALL OF THESE LONDON MAFIA BOOKS.....ALSO LIKE THE "DIFFERENT CHARACTERS " SHE CREATES AND BRING TO LIFE OF "THEIR THOUGHTS"....RATHER THAN ONLY "ONE CHARACTERS" THOUGHTS.

VERY INTERESTING AND VERY INFORMATIVE....I WILL CONTINUE TO READ ALL OF HER BOOKS.

great read

This bookis tough with it subject matter but it's by far one of the best I've read by martina cole.

It's realistic gritty and at times very disturbing it takes you into the deepest darkest recesses of a perverts twisted mind, but she's also an advocate of don't judge people on appearance alone she proves this with the characters of tommy and Brittany.

This is not for the faint hearted that's why I gave four stars but I like the fact that it's not the usual story for martina and for the fact that she brings some important issues to the forefront with this book

Thrilling tale!

Martina Cole's books are without a doubt so enthralling that when I pick a new one up it is finished within 2 days and what a great read it always turns out to be. The Know is a book that stays with you days after you have finished it! Joannie Brewer is a prostitute who has 3 kids with who knows who; they are teased as being a Heinz 57 family, Jon-Jon is black, Jeannette looks Turkish and Kiera is a beautiful English Rose. The story reveals the trials and tribulations that this close knit family go through; and it tugs deeply at my heartstrings. I won't be giving anything away when I say that Kiera is murdered and the family search for the answers as to her abduction and death. Prostitute or not I felt deeply for Joannie and her family. Can't wait for the next one!

the know martina cole

I have read all her books bar the latest(waiting for it to come down in price) and I am now on my second reading on my kindle. I enjoy the relationships of them all in each book .They are also very different from my other mystery books I read so it makes a change.

Entertaining

This book might not fall in everyone's taste, but I quite like it. Enjoyed the book from the start to the end. Also keeps you guessing from the start to end. Would recommended it any time.

saddened

I have read this book a couple of years ago and totally loved it, i was so excited to see it on audio books i downloaded it right away but was gutted.

Most of the story was missing, the main storylines were not even included.

If you have not read the original book then i still think you will enjoy this but if you have, avoid this.

Martina Cole is a good author but this does her no justice.

Title: The Players and the Game

Length: 7 hrs and 42 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-29-06

Publisher: Oakhill Publishing Ltd

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

The Count and Bonnie played their game of love, lust, and power to the very limits of fantasy. When the fantasy became real, however, and the number of players grew, the sedate town of Rawley was shaken to its very roots: because when you lost the Game, you lost everything.

©1972 Julian Symons; (P)2006 Oakhill Publishing Ltd

Critic Reviews:

"Unusual, ingenious, and as fascinating as a poisonous snake." (Sunday Telegraph

"By literary standards and by mounting tensions [this book] is a treat." (The New York Times Book Review)

"A brilliant combination of pyschological and police-procedural elements, with pure horror at its core." (Ross Macdonald)

Members Reviews:

Wolves Amongst the Goats

Who are Count Dracula and Bonnie Parker? That's the question that dogs the reader from the very beginning of this introspective psychological thriller, when we read the opening of the Count's secret journal, in which he tells us about himself, his fascination with horror films, and how he first encountered the girl who calls herself Bonnie Parker. And he introduces us to The Game, just as he indoctrinates Bonnie into it. Of course, the names are just masks, the names the Players have taken while they are playing The Game. And The Game? That's where the fantasy of who we want to be is merged into the reality of who we are. It's a difficult concept to grasp, even when explained by the Count, or perhaps especially when explained by the Count, for we are not too far into the journal before we understand the Count far better than we understand his Game or his theories of personal transmutation...he is mad, stark barking mad, but he is mad (and this is important) beneath the public mask he wears, which covers the mask worn by the Count, which covers the lunatic within.

The excerpts from the Count's journal are interspersed through the book, a few pages here and there, just enough to both enlighten the reader about the meanings hidden behind events and obfuscate the Players' identities. The other chapters follow the characters involved, showing us their public faces as members of the community (sometimes "pillars of the community"), revealing the perverse thoughts at odds with those facades, telling how others perceive them, and, most importantly, what secrets they hide, even from themselves. Though the novel is underpinned with heavy doses of psychoanalysis and Freudian psychology, especially when girls start disappearing and the residents of the English town of Rawley realize a serial killer lurks amongst them, the book's real foundation is the Calvinist doctrine that man is essentially a depraved being, completely unable to live an ethical life in the absence of salvation. And all these people are strangers to salvation.

Every character in the book seems to prove the reality of that Calvinist tenant, from the company director who uses his lunch hour to engage in BDSM to the Detective Inspector who dreams of fornication while questioning witnesses to the secretary who plots carnal adventures while primly filing documents. Julian Symons is quite adept in peeling away the layers of the characters' personalities to reveal the secret corruption beneath.

But, as the boy who cried wolf so many times before, will anyone believe him?

Critic Reviews:

"First-rate entertainment....Siegel keeps the paranoia level high even as he imbues his story with ethical overtones and a hilariously snarky sense of humor." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Surprisingly Good!

Well written and suspenseful. Unique plot line. Likeable characters that handle a suspenseful and interesting plot with a lot of humor. I found myself laughing out loud at the main character's internal musings. Highly recommend this excellent book. I read this author's books in this order: I read Derailed first, then Detour, then Deceit. Now I'm reading Epitaph, which is his first book and is a little different and a little slower, but very very good. James Siegel, the author, gets into the 'heads' of his characters, so you know their inner and outer personalities. Great writing style. Unfortunately, there are no other books by this author which is disappointing :(

A fantastic book

As usual James Siegel never disappoints. I have read everyone of his books and each are great, I wish he would write more. Deceit was thrilling and difficult to put down. Excellent characters and a great plot. This book doesn't disappoint. I recommend this one as well as all others by this excellent story teller. All of his (there aren't many) are available on Kindle.

Five Stars

write faster!

Oliver Stone Will Love It

I guess I just don't get popular fiction writers. Take James Siegel here, author of two previous blockbuster thrillers - "Derailed" and "Detour", lean and suspenseful thrillers both, neat little gems that were nearly impossible to put down - five-star reads you devour and can't wait to pass on to your friends. But then something must happen to these guys - their success, maybe, leads them to believe that they now have some responsibility to proselytize and preach and write something they feel is "important" - an overwhelming urge to educate and point out to the reader that it is an evil and unfair world in which we live?

Anyway, in "Deceit", a paranoid James Siegel fumbles and stumbles around a tired theme - make that multiple tired themes - in this disjointed yarn of yet another case of black ops and government conspiracies. Yawn. But not to be outdone by an endless gray line of similar literary gruel, Siegel tries to spice this pabulum up with an (unintentionally) annoying reporter Tom Valle, a plagiarizer of Jason Blair caliber. The disgraced Valle, like Blair, is banished from The New York Times for making up stories published as fact. Unlike Blair, Valle finds himself exiled in a Podunk southern California desert town, covering car dealership openings and birthday parties.

Members Reviews:

Romance

When I searched on Irish and Mystery this title appeared. Unfortunately I missed the fact that this book is a Harlequin publication. It was true to that writing style with a predictable plot and too many cliche's to mention. "Buttery leather chairs, ...like shark chum ... etc." If you like romance you may like this one, otherwise steer clear.

Once the box has been opened, a chain of events is triggered as if from beyond the grave, and Anslem is led to fulfill what Elizabeth has begun.

Critic Reviews:

"A twisty mystery. What's not unclear, however, is Brodrick's ability to weave exciting shadowy drama with deep characterisation." (GQ)

Members Reviews:

Wheels within wheels

Patience and skill are needed as gradually Brother Anselm is fed bits of information by instructions from beyond the grave that lead to his building a picture of the life and the reasons behind the death of Elizabeth, a barrister he worked with in his former profession.

A complex story well told not only of Anselm but of Blind George in particular. The second book of the series, it maintains the high standard set by the first.

Title: Kingdom Come

Author: Tim Green

Narrator: Scott Brick

Format: Abridged

Length: 6 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-08-06

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

How far would you go for unlimited wealth and power?

For Thane Coder, a shot at running one of the richest, most influential corporations in America was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. And with his seductive, savvy wife Jessica showing him the way, his fate was decided.

All it took was a back door, a snowy night, and an old hunting knife to unlock more money than Thane could ever imagine.

After he murders his boss, mentor, and friend James King, Thane and Jessica leap into a life of corporate jets and tropical hideaways, a world of infinite luxury and privilege. But when King's son surfaces with suspicion and revenge on his mind, the Coders' empire begins to crumble.

Once an everyday American couple with a mortgage and weekend soccer games, they're now entering a twisted maze filled with federal agents, the Mafia, a son hell-bent on vengeance, and a relentless, old-fashioned tracker willing to follow this husband and wife to the ends of the earth to take them down.

In Kingdom Come, boardrooms become hunting grounds, handshakes become blood oaths, and even the people you hold closest to you, your family, become suspect. Set against the rugged backdrop of his native upstate New York and the gritty streets of Manhattan, this is Tim Green at his best, writing hard-hitting, vivid prose about how a few deadly sins can lead any one of us down a bloody path.

Members Reviews:

Green-lover

Tim Green is one of my husband's favorite authors. I bought these books for his summer reading on the porch.

Kingdom Come

This is a terrific read. Tim Green never disappoints me. I think I have read most of his books and am really looking forward to the next one.

Unlike all the others

Two Stars. I was very eager to get my copy of Kingdom Come as Tim Green's previous books made me a huge fan of his style. Tight prose, quick chapters and an exciting plot. Instead I was bored as I plodded through the book. It seems to me, that the author wanted to try something different from his previous work. I hope his next novel will be more thrilling.

"The more money you have, the more you want."

Tim Green's stunning thriller, "Kingdom Come" is a chilling cautionary tale based loosely on Shakespeare's classic tragedy, "Macbeth." Thane Coder, along with Scott King and Ben Evans, have been close friends since their days as college football players. Scott's father, James, is the head of King Corp, and years ago, Scott gave Ben and Thane jobs in his father's company. King Corp is now launching a multi-million dollar construction project, but there may be trouble ahead. A vicious sociopath named John Garret, known as Johnny G, works for a mob-controlled union. He is demanding enormous kickbacks, or his union will do all in its power to sabotage the project.

To make matters worse, James King disappoints Thane by withholding a promised windfall of much needed funds that Thane was counting on to get him out of debt. Jessica, Thane's ambitious, beautiful, and seductive wife, hatches a labyrinthine scheme that she hopes will make them fabulously rich. Thane has always followed Jessica's lead, and, against his better judgment, he goes along with her plan.

"Kingdom Come" works on several levels. First, it is psychological horror story about two previously law-abiding people who lose all sense of perspective and commit unspeakable acts to get what they want.
