I was confused about this book but did some research. It looks like this book was written in 1985, based on a British miniseries that aired in 1983. The book has been re-released in anticipation of the upcoming movie (November 2018), directed by Steve McQueen (not that one) and screenplay written by McQueen and Gillian Flynn.
It was very enjoyable. It's based in 1980's England so there were words I was unfamiliar with, gangster slang of the 80's. Like "grassed." "She grassed him at the police station." Like she was telling on him. There were a couple of other words but I can't recall them at the moment. The women were fascinating and had their own strengths and weaknesses. I liked the twist, even though I saw it coming. And I would love a real sequel!! I think the "official" sequels are just novelizations of the miniseries? Not quite sure. And I want to get my hands on the 1983 miniseries!
