As of 2021 [update] she has released twenty-six novels about crime, most of which examine London's gangster underworld. The advance signposting of events took away any suspense - it felt like a soap opera rather than a thriller.
Despite this being predominantly a crime novel, I loved the way that the family saga was wound and weaved into the story.
The books themes of corruption, consumerism and excess I found fascinating as though I grew up in the 1990s and 2000s after the books events, I had heard about the culture of greed and excess in the 1980s during the Thatcher era and in this book it is shown just how dark it really is, with the Ryans being directly involved with government officials right the way up to the top echelons of power.

Maura, the Ryan clan's youngest and only daughter, is the last person anyone expects to take on gangland London.She has achieved sales of over fourteen million in the UK alone and her tenth novel, The Know, spent seven weeks on The Sunday Times hardback best-sellers list. It highlights the fact that a young woman is definitely not to be underestimated, especially not one that is determined, confident, and strong willed. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. With her numerous brothers Maura Ryan just wants to get on with her life, but she never really had a choice, so when faced with the realisation of her reality, takes to a life of crime like a duck to water, emerging as a very dangerous lady.
Maura is a beautiful 17-year old girl who becomes involved and infatuated with a policeman, Terry Petherick which is complicated further when she falls pregnant by him.

No one thinks a seventeen-year-old girl can take on the hard men of London's gangland, but it's a mistake to underestimate Maura Ryan: she's tough, clever and beautiful —and she's determined that nothing will stand in her way. It took me from thinking how awful the people were to feeling sorry for them because there was no other option in most cases other than to go into the family 'business'.
