Grace is like a cross between The First Wives' Club and The Godfather. Teresa and Isabella were living the high life as mob wives until they're framed for diamond smuggling and sent to prison - do not pass GO, do not collect $200. As they learn the ropes in prison and are forced into a new role, they befriend Eve, a young woman who becomes a surrogate daughter to them. When the diamonds mysteriously 'disappear' from state's evidence, Teresa and Isabella are freed - but they have a price tag on t...more
Before reviewing this book I am going to issue a general warning: Do not pick it up if you have other things to do. It is a book that grabs you from the very first page and insists you read it in as few sittings as possible.
This book begins with introducing two women who were the wife/ girlfriend of mobsters. The mobster ethos is a key part of defining the women although they have to face recognition of the harsher side of that culture. Over the course of the book friendships blossom within the...more

Review: A tale of enduring friendship and sweet, sweet revenge.
This was a novel of friendship between four women more than anything else. Sure, there was some whacking, but it was secondary to their growing friendship. Three of the women have been traumatized and one has a mysterious past. The prison part of this novel was the strongest part of this novel and I would have easily read a whole novel about Isabella, Teresa,...more

Susan Bennett's first job entailed selling very large knives (think the bowie knife – "that’s not a knife, this is a knife" – from Crocodile Dundee) to complete strangers, along with camping goods and other assorted goodies such as replica pistols. Twenty years on, it finally occurred to her to wonder what some of those people wanted those replica pistols for, and she strongly suspects that many o...more
