Angie Watts is struggling to provide for Grace and Zac following the murder of her husband Steve 2 years previously. Her eldest child, Liam, who has mental issues and was partly responsible for Steve's death, is missing.
This is a story of modern day poverty and violence in an uncaring city. The cover of the book is attractive - the story is not.
Like many people of a certain age, the name of the main character makes me visualise Anita Dobson in EastEnders.
