Keep everything in the family. Even betrayal...

BETRAYAL by the 'undisputed queen of crime writing' (Guardian) and Sunday Times No.1 bestseller Martina Cole is a gripping novel about the bonds that make - or break - a family.

Aiden O'Hara has been head of the family since he was a kid, and he's going to keep it that way.

Jade Dixon watches his back. Mother of his son, she's the one who makes him invincible.

But Jade's been in the game a lot longer than Aiden. She knows no one's indestructible.

And when you're at the top, that's when you've got to watch the hardest.

Especially the ones closest to you . . .

Ratings and reviews

Too much repetition about pointless things. I get it, he/she has her faults but he/she loves them but not every chapter and sometimes several times in a chapter. Was a poor ending, didn't cover the basics of what would have immediately happened in the aftermath - event then 5 years later! Also, what's with the the 3 page chapters!

What a crock , so disappointed , waste of money . Same old story with different names . I couldn't quite believe how many phrases are copied . Try Stephen King he's a genius , I don't read horror , he has some brilliant , cleverly thought out story's that blow your mind

I thought this was going to be an exciting read. It's now 2.5 months since I started reading the book. It is very repetitive, the writing does not leave me in suspense, nor does it leave me wanting more. It is a very disappointing read but I am determined to finish despite the boredom.
