About this deal

Beth turns to Martin a Manchester gangland criminal for help, and Heather's masterly storytelling shows how rounded all people are: bad people do good things and good people do bad things. I am always enthralled with the complexities of the human psyche and non more so than the criminal mind, so really enjoyed this read. Her writing style probably comes from all manner of influences as she has been known to read anything from autobiographies to sagas and crime thrillers. However, her biggest influence is probably the city of Manchester, which is the setting for most of her work. At the opening of the novel, she has no place she can call home even as all she wants is to fit in with the tough crowd. She had spent many of her teenage years drinking at the park and sleeping around and she had become a prostitute by the time she turned sixteen. Explosive, fast action story... A perfect tale again of love, hate, revenge and secrets all wrapped up in 'real' life family drama... Takes you on a journey they and you will never forget... 10/10.' NetGalley Reviewer , ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Edge of seat all the way .' Reviewer, ***** Having lived in Manchester all her life, many of her novels draw their inspiration from her experiences growing up in the suburbs. As for most of her characters, they are the people she has met and interacted with over the years. Candice's boyfriend Thomas Foster's dad offers her a job during the term time as her mother doesn't think its safe for her to work the boutiques. While Heather Burnside had always dreamed of a career as an author, practical concerns took over and she studied credit management in college. She would become a member of the Institute of Credit management and worked for several years, before she decided to take a break and start a family. Brilliant, I read this book in 1 day and couldn't put it down. Just love how you see the characters from their life before. Loved it.' NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
