And what a prequel this is, the tag line of the Queen of Gangland Crime has never been truer. I don’t want to speak too soon and say this is Kim’s best book yet, but it’s certainly one of them.Both families are a part of the seedy underbelly of the East End and Stratford. Jessica Smith and Eddie Mitchell become engaged, against the wishes of Jessica’s father. The two are swept away into a world of crime, murder, and deception. The Feud

It is so hard to go into it without spoiling anything and we do not do spoilers. We get to see Queenie as a child, a teen and adulthood. Events that lead to shaping her as a person and seeing why family is absolutely everything to Queenie, particularly her boys and her sister. At times she is hard to understand, I coldn't fathom some of her choices/actions. Others you get it, you get why she is the way she is and who she becomes. This is a great book to immerse yourself in and for fans of the Butlers a must read that cant disappoint and brings a huge feel good factor to her fans and readersToday the Havering Daily had the exclusive opportunity to talk to her about her life and her latest book ‘ Queenie‘ that comes out tomorrow.

I find it particularly difficult to write a review for a book and an author that I absolutely love - there’s always the nagging doubt that I won’t be able to do it justice - but here goes anyway. Kimberley is a lady with a very witty sense of humour that makes its marks in her fantastic books. Her books leave you gripped and up all night reading them (truly you can’t put them down until the end!) This beautifully crafted, sharp, well-paced novel will keep you hooked until the very end. An outstanding tale of betrayal, violence and love. Buy it. Read it. You'll love it. I did” - Amanda Prowse Chambers was born and brought up in Dagenham, Essex.

Nesutinku su knygos nugarėlėje pateikta nuomone, kad „jei mėgstate šiurkščius, nenušlifuotus detektyvus, šis romanas jums patiks“. Jei dar tik ruošiatės skaityti šią knygą ir tikitės detektyvinės istorijos, –detektyvo elementų šiame romane beveik nėra, bet knyga sukelia įdomų įspūdį: autorė sugeba suintriguoti skaitytoją, tiesa, kuo ilgiau skaitant, tuo labiau veiksmo įtikinamumas mažėja. Autorė labai nuvertina Anglijos policijos darbą: susidaro įspūdis, kad ši bejėgi ne tik tirdama smulkius nusikaltimus, bet ir nužudymus.

The gifted novelist only has nine books, but her impact on London and around the world has been huge. Chambers has a three book series: The Traitor Chambers, Victim and The Feud. The series revolves around a long time feud between two families; the Mitchells and the O’Haras.Paprastai, kai vertinimas svyruoja tarp patenkinamo ir gero, skiriu knygai 7 balus, bet pažymiu ją keturiomis žvaigždutėmis, nes: gal ko teigiamo joje nepastebėjau, nesupratau ar dėl kitų priežasčių bijau būti neobjektyvus. Šį kartą vertindamas 7 balais (t.y. 3,5 žvaigždutės) suteikiau 3 žvaigždutes, nes atotrūkis tarp patenkinamo ir gero vertinimo pernelyg didelis. Bet romanas tikrai nėra blogas; skaitytojai, kurie mėgsta ilgus tekstus, kurių nenervina paviršutiniškumas, juo turbūt nenusivils, tai rodo ir paskelbti vertinimai. The strength of her books are the amazing characters she has introduced into our lives. “ My characters are strong, alongside a gritting crime theme and there is always humour to be found as well,” says Kimberley.
