Summary

Dangerous. Thrilling. Compulsive. Revenge is the brand-new novel from the phenomenal number one best-selling author Martina Cole.

Be sure your sins will find you out. 

Michael Flynn is untouchable in a world of power, money and violence. He fights for what he wants and he takes it, whatever the cost. He learns the rules of the life from the best, and when his mentor, legendary Face Patrick Costello, is taken out, no one questions that Michael Flynn is his natural successor. For Michael, loyalty - and crime - pay. 

Michael Flynn rises to heights beyond anything the criminal underworld has seen. He owns everyone, and he rules his empire with an even but fierce hand. No one would dare challenge him. 

Then the unthinkable happens. Perhaps Michael Flynn is not so untouchable after all. And he must learn that...without the shedding of blood there can be no forgiveness of sins.

Believable narration.. But....

First off five star narration by Annie Aldington.

Surprisingly this is my first Cole book. It's not very often I can't get through a book it took me ages to get though to the end, personally finding the story line, situations and characterizations boring and too repetitive for my taste after initially being hooked in at the beginning, my interest soon ebbed away as the story unfolded.
It felt more like I was reading a script for TV.
To give Cole her due it does get better towards the end but I still stand by an 'ok' score.I felt there just was not enough depth to the story line despite the superb narration.
Been told to try her earlier stuff so will be giving that a go instead.

disappointed

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

Seems Martina has run out of ideas, having read most of her books this one is just the same old story and identical characters doing the same jobs, if you are looking for something different then you will be disappointed.

Would you be willing to try another one of Annie Aldington’s performances?

And have found them very good! But now feel with her more recent books the stories are
The same so are becoming predictable!

What could Martina Cole have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

New characters! New plot!

Performance was Ok

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No!

Blood Murder and Revenge

A very typical martina cole novel but this one had a bit of a twist to the overall story ... As the title suggests and within a few chapters you know that there is going to be revenge and it will not be pretty .... and you know who the victim is but how who and why .... a bit disjointed in parts but overall an enjoyable if not bloody listen but I was fed up by the end ... I wanted to slap the narrator Annie Aldington ... no dark or shade to her voice everyone to me sounded the same character.

Superb!

A very great book to listen to, and to learn about, at the same time. Well narrated and dramatised, and teaches us a lesson about how we destroy what we managed, to have created.
