A great love story and chronicle of women's empowerment over the
first half of the twentieth century, with the pace and excitement
of a modern day thriller. Looking back from London's Swinging
Sixties, a retired couple raise their granddaughters in blissful
ignorance of reality. Their secretive and dangerous existence,
positions them against the Italian Mafia in Paris and Franco's
Fascists in Barcelona, whose Catholic nuns are stealing babies from
impoverished mothers. Cruelly influenced and trained by two world
wars with unfinished battles still haunting their lives, how do Sam
and Phaedra finally tell the truth to their naive loved ones, even
when their young lives depend on it. They are after all,
professional assassins. A roller coaster ride covering a period of
sixty years around Europe; fused with Edwardian sophistication and
historically based atrocities; Raymond Russells Deadly Endings
keeps the pages turning until the shocking finale.

Deadly Endings By Raymond Russell. Lust, Greed and Murder are dealt out throughout the novel with beautiful prose and an uncanny ability to form each scene in your mind with incredible reality. I could see the Victorian circus in the first chapter, as well as the Tower of London with suffragists falling to their deaths. Every chapter is exciting, the characters are so real and when you have finished you feel as though you have just been dragged around Europe!
