A must buy-must read. A gripping, gritty thriller that will have you hooked from the first page! If you like reading Martina Cole books you will love the tension in The Hit by Anna Smith. Helen came from a poverty background. When Helen met accountant Alan Lewis and she found out that he was loaded of course Helen liked loaded. Alan treated his wife Helen to the good life, travelling with dinning at the best restaurants.  I'm not rich but I certainly would miss a few pennies more being taken out of my account. But Alan had so much money that he didn't miss a few grand or so missing from his bank account. Watch out Helen is moving his money around into her account, but why? Then out of the blue she bumps into an old friend Frankie Mallon who dare I say that they both hatched a plan to get rid of her husband Alan.  I couldn't believe that Helen could be so cruel. Had Frankie ever killed before? With Helen Lewis's husband now missing, she kills Frankie Mallon in her flat. It appears that after all Helen Lewis is a very dangerous woman. I engaged in so much depth with all the characters and thrilling twists that I found myself speeding along with this story. I can't wait to read another novel by Anne Smith. With never knowing what is going to happen next I strongly recommend The Hit.

When Helen met her husband Alan she had no money too her name and from a rough area she wanted to make something of herself. When she finds out Alan is an extremely wealthy accountant she decides to take over his book keeping, whilst stealing a few thousand here and there for herself. After bumping into old friend Frankie Mallon they plan to kill her husband. Alan had always given Helen the life everyone dreams of from dining at the best restaurants around, holiday homes and everything she could ever want, find out just how cruel and dangerous Helen really is! A gripping, gritty and extremely hard book to put down! Each book just keeps getting better and better!
