When Cathy Connor and Eamonn Docherty are thrown together as children in the East End their fate is sealed. Cathy's miserable life as a prostitute's child changes forever when she's forced into care. The ordeal that follows leaves her with no choice but to run away to Soho, and she learns to survive in the violent heart of London's underworld. Meanwhile, Eamonn, who fled to New York, has gained a reputation as a ruthless villain. But when their paths cross again, Cathy is an equal match for Eamonn - and nothing's going to make her run away this time...

"Just the right mix of violence and romance"
In my opinion one of Martina's better story lines, violent but not too much so, I loved the characters even though they resemble ones from previous books.

"One of my least favourite"
What disappointed you about The Runaway?It attempted to shock but it was just shocking. It was formulaic and crude with no redeeming features. Not sure the audience that she was targeting but I'm not in it.
What was most disappointing about Martina Cole’s story?It was unbelievable

"Narrator spoiled it for me."
Is there anything you would change about this book?The Narrator.
Would you recommend The Runaway to your friends? Why or why not?I think some of the earlier books have better characters in them. I absolutely loved Goodnight Lady and Dangerous Lady.
How did the narrator detract from the book?Unfortunately, the narrator has a very monotone approach, ending each line with a pause. It gets irritating after a while. However, her voices of the characters are good and interesting, I just wish she would put as much interest the the rest of the text too.
Any additional comments?I am working my way through the Martina Cole collection, and looking forward to listening to the next one!

"The best Martina Cole book"
Where does The Runaway rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?Its certainly in the top 3 books I've listened to.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?It was, but it'd be a hell of a marathon getting through it in one go!
Any additional comments?Brilliant, from start to finish.

"Another brilliant book"
Took a little while to get into but well worth it. Gruesome in places but great twists and turns in the storyline. Another gripping book By Martina

"Amazing book"
After watching the drama series years ago, I thought I'd give the book ago. I'm so glad I did... Great story I would live to know what happened to Kathy and Richard and if they
ended up together?
Absolutely fabulous story...0 of 0 people found this review helpful
