Ratings and reviews

This was the first book I have read as an e book. Really enjoyed it. Love how the characters have been built up. Feel like I know them all well. Didnt want it to end and want to see how the girls lives develop. Can't wait for the sequel. I work in a library and told lots of my collegues about it and I am going to request the book for our shelves. Well done Nadine and please get writing soon

Thoroughly enjoyable. Good insight into a tight knit Irish community. Dark elements re Priest. Held my attention well throughout. Ending was a little abrupt but I expect a sequel will overcome that. Nadine Dorries has another string to her bow now - being a very good author. Well done. Please write the sequel. Found myself thinking it would work well as a TV drama too.

Fabulous book I got gripped immediately. Made me feel great to be irish with all the quirky stories and sayings however it finished so suddenly I was gobsmacked.....definitely wanted more and to find out what happened to poor kitty.
