The Front - Mandasue Heller
When old school friends Lee, Mal, Ged and Sam decided to make some easy money, nothing could have prepared them for the catalogue of disasters that was soon to follow. Robbing a supermarket should have been an easy job; nothing could possibly go wrong. But it did. With one of them wounded and a dead body on their hands, could matters get any worse? They should have known that a small supermarket on a Manchester estate wouldn't make that much money; they should have known that the aisles of tinned tomatoes and loss leaders was just a cover up for something a lot more dangerous. But they didn't know. They had no idea that as small fish they had unwittingly plunged into a very big pond and were now swimming with the great whites of the criminal underworld. The shop they robbed, their ticket to an easy life, was merely The Front for something very bid indeed.
I really enjoyed this book - based on the same tradition as Martina Cole but not so harsh I didn't think.
As far as my personal challenge to read 50 pages in a day - I started this book before the challenge and so it took 10 days to read which is below average of the number of pages read in a day (35). So got to make some adjustments to my day so that I can read more books if I am to get through the whole 887 on my bookcase before in my lifetime.
