Trust Nobody (Daisy Lane 1) by Hampson, June (2007)

Englanninkielinen pehmytkantinen pokkari.  Jonkin verran ajan kulumaa, mutta täysin ehjä ja luettavassa kunnossa. 

It is 1962. Daisy Lane's man, Kenny, is in jail for robbery, leaving Daisy to run the couple's café down in Gosport, Hampshire. Daisy lives above the café and shares the house with Kenny's older brother, Eddie: a handsome, resourceful villain with a streak of viciousness that leads him to commit acts of terrifying violence to get his way. But Eddie has a weakness and it's called "Daisy". He loves his brother's wife; Kenny's not around, and Eddie always gets what he wants.

I believe Martina Cole set the standard for this genre of book. Many have copied her style and so far, in my opinion, no author has yet matched her earlier works. However, like many Martina fans, I have found her latest offerings a poor relation to her earlier works and have become increasingly irritated by the way she has began calling 3 or 4 paragraphs a chapter and including a good son/bad son, go to mass and the phrase "dogs gonads" in every single paragraph. Frankly I got bored and irritated but longed for something which matches up to those early offerings. If you are a Martina fan you will know, though may not agree, with what I am trying to say. This book by June Hampson is a brilliant alternative and almost, though not quite, as good as the early Cole novels. I look forward to the reading the rest of the series and can't wait to see what she has in store for the interesting characters. I will not spoil things by telling the story but if this genre of book is your thing then for less than a fiver it's worth every penny.
