Gamble- Anita Waller- Psychological thriller   
Two women working in a bookies get shot by someone entering the premises early
and demanding money however due to the timing it appears to be more about the
women than the money. They are both wives and mothers. The two husbands,
Graham and Kenny decide that they are going to sort it out without the help of the
police who are as keen as they are to find the perpetrator. All they know is that he
or possibly she wore a mask and had a shotgun which was retrieved shortly
afterwards. The two sixteen year old twins of one of the women also decide that
finding their mother's killer is more important than their looming exams. Between
four vigilantes and the police the search is on. When another body and then a
missing boy are added things get rather heated to say the least. Oooh! Anita
has done it again. Draws me into what starts as a read with a bit of a mystery
and then twists and turns until I want to (and try!) to turn faster and faster.
Characters that you easily take to (Tom and Holly) and a plot that weaves its
magic. A read that I devoured so easily. It's a crime/psychological thriller
but nothing to make you feel uneasy, a totally enjoyable captivating
and very clever read.
