Not a family you would want to be born intoRight from the offset I was emotionally invested in this book. Simon, one of the characters has special needs, and my son is autistic, so how he was treated by his mother struck a nerve with me. It’s one of those books that at times actually makes you shake your head in disgust at how some of the characters act. There was actually one scene where one of the characters said she would like to kick someone in the balls for saying something about Simon, the...

A great read!

This is the second book i've read from this author. A great read the takes you through a mix of emotions. I did enjoy the book, however, it did take me a little while to get into it and seemed to slow down around the middle. Once it got into part two it was like a steamroller of action and suspense that had me wanting more. Great work. Well done.

Pedigree Crush with a Twisted Gene is the third of Katherine Black’s books that I have read, and does not disappoint. The pace and narration is quite different to my previous two reads, to the point where I could believe it by a different author. The read undulates - in places slow and deliberate, painting mental images of the numerous and intense characters, and quickens through sections of suspense and high drama!

Time to meet the Woods. Violet, a hard unloving bigot capable of murder and Donald, her colourless husband who lives and dies in the garden and takes on his wife’s prejudiced view of life on the way. How they manage to produce no less than six sons is anybody’s ghastly guess, and author Katherine Black is wise enough not to take us there. The funeral of the first-born son is held early on in the book, but five more sons are born and survive thereafter to become blackmailers, brawlers, bullies, c...

I would’ve gave this book 5 stars however the first hundred pages or so it left me with no idea which way the book was going I felt it was a very slow start the final hundred pages was very good though

Excellent.

Katherine Black tells the wonderful story of a corrupt and cruel family. Her work is a delight to read, flows easily and has many twists and turns. I spent the whole book trying (and failing) to guess the outcome. Binged it in two days. I'd recommend this to fans of James Patterson and Dean Koontz. It's fast paced and terrific read. Loved it.
