brilliant read

Format:Paperback
`The Runaway` by Martina Cole was the first novel by Martina that I read. I took it on holiday one year and it was really ideal and such a great story. Since then I have read almost all of her other novels including `Ladykiller` which although gorey is one of those books that you cannot put down. I have given `The Runaway` as presents to friends and without doubt all of them have loved it and started to read Martina Cole. The books are harder to get in USA.
