Hunted.
Another great read from a very good Author. i've read a number of the books by this author and she is a very clever story teller.
Gripping and thrilling all her books have you hooked. Great gangland crime trhirllers.
Cara was a very likable character and I found myself backing her the whole way through the book. No nonsense woman she will do what is needed to protect herself.
This was an easy, gripping read. Once started it was difficult to put down.
I have no issues with recommending this book to anyone who likes a good gangland read.

Seductive and twisted. Highly recommended! Readers, find some quiet alone time to settle in with this one because you won't stop reading until you've turned the final page. Highly recommended to fans of mysteries, suspense and thrillers.

A gripping book could have gone in any direction and was good to keep us interested.
Plenty of action at times to keep us engrossed, a bit of a mystery thriller.
I felt it trickled along slowly at times but stuck with it as the good bits were good.
Roberta's earlier books are better, she seems to have gone off the boil a bit for me.
Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book. xx

Another great read from this author with dodgy characters hiding in every shadow. Lots of surprises along the way. Well paced with short chapters to keep you engaged.

Always love books written by this author. This latest offering follows cara as she is released from prison after 18 months for burglary. Her ex, Jimmy, fails to show to give her a lift and upon attending his flat she finds his battered deceased body. Jimmy seems to have engaged with some shady characters in Cara’s absence and somehow managed to involve an innocent cara in his dealings. Trouble follows causing cara to fear for her life and face events and secrets from her past.

This story develops slowly but is a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Stealing from the rich is what Cara Kendall does for a living. She's twenty-four, bold and fearless, convinced that she will never get caught. But everyone's luck runs out eventually. When she breaks into a house in Hamstead, she gets more than she bargained for - a body in the study and the law on the doorstep. As rumours start to circulate about her part in the killing, she finds herself under increasing pressure to give up what she hasn't got and tell the truth she doesn't know. With danger growing by the day, a killer still on the loose, Cara can't afford to lose any time. she has to find the answers before her enemies catch up with her.

Cara Kendall wants an easy life after being liberated from jail. Cara breaks into houses of the rich, but one night she makes a mistake, and breaks into a house with a dead body inside. I didn't know who I could trust in this twist filled read. I was pulled into this gangland crime book by the end of the first chapter. Someone wants something from Cara, but she doesn't know what it is. She's also being followed. The characters are well developed. This is a gritty, gripping and well written book. This was my forst read by the author, but it won't be my last.

I would like to thank #NetGalley #LittleBrownBookGroupUK and the author #RobertaKray for my ARC of Hunted in exchange for an honest review.

Cara Kendall is released from HMP Leaside after a eighteen month stretch and Jimmy Lovell is nowhere to be seen so unreliable their relationship was on the rocks anyway before she got banged up but he promised the week before " I'll be there babe" well she was not hanging around.
She had freedom with the smell of London, a black BMW was slowing down and it wasn't Jimmy whoever it was must have mistook her for someone else and paranoia creeps in is she been hunted down?
Jimmy Lovell may not be around no more but he brings loads more trouble for Cara as you read on.
What a fantastic read this is a unputdownable gripping read from the start to the end, I loved reading it.

I am nirmally a fan of RK's work, but this one felt really long, and all the twists at the end, although unexpected, there were lots!
I did enjoy the storyline, the characters were primarily awful, as they are portrayed to be and they worked well. It was pretty easy to read and I did want to find out what happened but it could have been a little shorter I feel.

Cara Kenall is a 24 year old cat burglar, stealing from the rich. She is nrwly released from prison but finds herself caught up in a murder investigation, her ex boyfriend. The author, as usual, pulls you in from the start with some interesting characters and plenty drama in this gangster thriller, which fans will enjoy to the last page. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

This is the best book I have read in ages, and I have read some excellent crime books! It is the story of Cara Kendall released from prison after 18 months and finds her ex boyfriend dead. You are kept guessing until the very end of the book, and once started can't stop reading. I would recommend this book by Roberta Kray to anyone who loves a good thriller.

After being released from prison Cara Kendall just wants a quite life but what you want and what you get are two different things.She visits her on off boyfriend to see why he hasn't picked her up on her release as promised only to find him dead,for a split second she wants to run but calls 999 which leads to a second shock of the day DI Larry Steadman arrives the man who helped to put her in prison before and he'd love to put her there again.She soon notices she's being followed by not one by two people.She receives a note telling her to give IT back but has no idea what IT is.She now has to work fast to find out what they want before the killer finds her.
Another brilliant read from Roberta Kray that I highly recommend.
Thanks to Netgalley and Little Brown Book UK for the ARC.

Wow fantastic this had me gripped thoughout.

I couldn't trust anyone in this book, who is lying, who knows the truth, a real page turner that will keep you guessing.

I really felt for Cara, just goes to show you cannot trust anyone, she had served her time and all she wanted was a peaceful life, well you certainty are not getting that in kellston not with the notorious Terry Street about.

Another brilliant twisty gangland thriller from Roberta, each book gets better and better

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
