About this deal

Richard Ramirez was and still is remembered as a violent, sadistic man known for his brutal acts against his female victims. As detailed by Brittanica, he was convicted of murdering thirteen people, but it is believed there may have been more. The terror he reigned over Los Angeles in the 1980s means that the Night Stalker has left his mark on society. All Cain and Jenny know is that if their love can survive such separation, then one day they will have a chance at the Good Life together again. Pemberton, Max (27 October 2013). "Martina Cole's arthritis is the real crime". The Telegraph . Retrieved 5 November 2015. Among the best movies and shows similar to Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is one of the many documentaries on the killer himself. Fresh Meat: Jeffrey Dahmer is heralded as a fast-paced Cliff Notes style look at the infamous serial killer's life, but it also contains graphic descriptions of Dahmer's crimes that may not be appropriate for all audiences.

I was expecting something else, the crime and the action is not good enough, very simple and too much romance. Cain Moran wanted Jenny Riley more than he had ever wanted anyone or anything before in his life. But loving Jenny Riley was the easy part; it was telling his wife he wanted a divorce that was going to be the killer... British crime writer Martina Cole examines the life and times of the most notorious female serial killers across history and asks: why do women kill, and why are we surprised when they do?

Martina Cole - Wikipedia

The depiction of women in this novel was concerning. All of the female characters were one-dimensional idiots, whose only defining traits was how much they care about (or hate) Cain Moran. The whole book was rife with rampant sexism, and yes, before any of you get on your high horses I get that the criminal underworld is not exactly a haven of gender-equality, but what is concerning is that Cole cannot seem to write a well-developed female character DESPITE BEING FEMALE. What the hell Cole? If blokes like George RR Martin and Terry Pratchett can do it then why can’t you? She married for the first time aged 16, but the marriage only lasted a year. She had her first child at the age of 18. [3] Her parents both died when she was in her early 20s. [1] Felt like Cole was pandering to a misogynistic Guy Ritchie character wannabe with the absolutely pathetic characterisation of men and women in this book. How am I meant to root for a main character that cheats in his wife and behaves like a turd on the regular ? No thanks When the bodies of missing schoolgirls start turning up, former DCI Kate Burrows is dragged out of retirement. The Good Life is an interesting book in which the central character truly does learn, grow and change his life by the end of the novel. Cain Moran lives a life of crime. Jenny Riley is a naive, young girl. The novel tells a love story revolving around Cain and the love he has for Jenny. Cain is a face in London, England who seems to have it all. In her turn, Jenny is not interested in Cain's hard man reputation all she wants is to be with him. For Cain, loving Jenny Riley was the easy part; it was telling his wife, Caroline, that he wanted a divorce that was going to be the killer, because when Caroline said 'til death us do part', she meant it. When Cain is sentenced to life in prison it seems that Caroline might have got her wish.

"The Broadcast interview: Martina Cole, crime author". www.broadcastnow.co.uk. Media Business Insight . Retrieved 5 November 2015.She remarried in the 1990s, but the marriage ended in divorce. [14] She had her second child when she was 39. [4] Aunque el prólogo se chive de dichas complicaciones, a mí me parece mal nombrarlas. Me gustaría conocer las razones de la autora para haber fastidiado de ese modo la lectura. A esto hay que añadir que la historia intenta dividir la atención entre los negocios de Cain y el triángulo amoroso compuesto por él, Jenny y Caroline, su esposa. Me aburría soberanamente con lo de Cain, sus enemigos y su estatus de mafioso, considero que se podría haber abreviado más esa parte, pues el tema amoroso es el que realmente es el eje de la trama. Lo que irán decidiendo Jenny y Cain y las reacciones de Caroline es lo que interesa. Se sabe la decisión más importante, pero eso no impide que dé cierta curiosidad ver cómo actúa cada personaje cuando eso ocurre.

It was telling his wife he wanted a divorce that was going to be the killer . . . Jenny is not just any girl. She cares nothing for Cain’s hard-man reputation – she just wants to be with himI am by no means an expert in English literature (you'll have to bear with me and my critiquing on this review!) but I honestly cannot understand how anyone could think that this was a good novel. Los capítulos son muy breves y eso ayuda a que la lectura sea fluida durante la mayor parte del tiempo, pero eso no impidió que yo siguiera pensando que sobraban páginas y que la autora cometió un error monumental con el dichoso prólogo y la sinopsis. Jenny is not just any girl. She cares nothing for Cain's hard-man reputation - she just wants to be with him. Cole lives in a Grade II listed, 15th-century manor house near Sevenoaks, Kent.
