Lolly has always known her mum was different. Sometimes Angela Bruce was ill in a quiet sort of way, but other times she roamed the Mansfield estate shouting about whatever had wormed its way into her head that day. Either way, Lolly was on her own, so she learned how to look after herself pretty quickly. Mal Fury has never got over the disappearance of his daughter all those years ago, but there's still hope because the police never found Kay's body.

That was the last time any of them saw Minnie Bright: It was 48 hours before her crack-addicted mother reported her missing, and a few hours more before the police entered the house and found her small, twisted body hidden under the bed. Fifteen years ago, a little girl was murdered. Now journalist Jess Vaughan and detective Harry Lind are asking questions about what really happened that day. Questions that someone will kill to keep hidden. No one knows crime like Roberta Kray.

Story
She trusted the man she loved. It was the most dangerous things she had ever done… A gripping story of gangs, drugs, girls and unbreakable bonds. Perfect for fans of Martina Cole and Mandasue Heller. No one can touch Del Williams - the hardest gangster in Soho. He's got the monopoly on the drug deals and the girls - it'd be a mistake to underestimate him. The only person he'd take a bullet for is tough, beautiful Bunny Barker, mother of their daughter Star.

Far too tame
How can reviewers claim Roberta Kray is in the same league as Martina Cole there’s no bad language which I understand appeals to a lot of people but it just makes the story unrealistic I’m not sure if they even smoke lol. I so wanted to enjoy your books but they are seriously far too tame for this genre, most of the time it’s like listening to someone’s boring diary.

Good Idea for a Story, But Unbelievable Dialogue
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A solid dialogue
What was most disappointing about Roberta Kray’s story?
When the characters spoke to each other, it was stilted and awkward, almost like a teenager had written it..I kept thinking "people just dont talk like that!"
Which scene did you most enjoy?
I gave up after a couple of chapters
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Dangerous Promises?
I would keep the storyline, and give it to another author
Any additional comments?
Sadly, i left it to late to get a refund
