The advance signposting of events took away any suspense - it felt like a soap opera rather than a thriller. With Maura masterminding it, they pull off an audicious gold bullion robbery and have much of the Establishment in their pockets.

A stage version of Dangerous Lady opened at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, London, [2] her third to be presented at the Royal Stratford, to positive reviews. The only real negative is I found Cole’s use of foreboding a bit too obvious and forefront in the earlier chapters as there is quite a few chapters which end saying a character will live to regret what they have done.The poorly parented Ryan kids growing up in abject poverty, more or less bring themselves up, in a crime infested poor London neighbourhood and hence live life on the dark-side.

When it comes to the crunch, Maura has to face the pain of lost love in her past – and the dangerous lady discovers her heart is not make entirely of stone. Despite this being predominantly a crime novel, I loved the way that the family saga was wound and weaved into the story. No one thinks a 17-year-old girl can take on the hard men of London's gangland, but it's a mistake to underestimate Maura Ryan: she's tough, clever and beautiful - and she's determined not to be hurt again, which makes her one very dangerous lady.
