Finally, after eight long years in prison for killing her husband, Dolly Rawlins has been released. There isn’t a lot of fanfare, but her fellow inmates make it clear that they will miss her and her advocacy programs that she established in prison. Dolly leaves prison with the idea that she will retrieve her stash of stolen diamonds, fence them and start a home for children of the imprisoned. Fine ideals! She is thwarted in her efforts throughout the book, and that is what the plot is mostly about. Dolly is trying to get to her diamonds and others are trying to trap her or trick her. The book was good with a surprising twist at the end that left me gasping. The characters that were well developed were Dolly and DS Mike Withey, a policeman who is seeking revenge on behalf of his sister. None of the characters was particularly likable, but they all came together to make a book that was entertaining and at times explosive. Fans of Lynda LaPlante will not want to miss out on this one, and readers of crime novels and police procedural will find it fascinating.
