I read this novel on the recomendation of a friend and after reading that Danny Dyer was going to star in a movie version of the book. And I am so glad I purchased this brilliant story of love and revenge. Unlike most books this has three main characters. The evil perverted thug Richard Grimson. Julie, a beautiful married mum of three with a secret sleazy past and wronged husband Joey Jonson. I can just imagine Danny Dyer as the devoted dad turned vigilante. Till Death Us Do Part is more then just a crime thriller or another gangster tale. It is also a romantic story that touches parts that other modern day romances fail to reach. My only criticism is that it doesnt explain why a mum-of-three walked out on her loving family to be with a pimp and child abuser. Would she really destroy a family just because a pervert was going to reveal her brief career as a pub stripper? Surely she would not have fallen in love with her blackmailer. But apart from that it is a page-turner that will make a great movie.

This novel based on 100% fact and a symbolic slaying of a former pimp and child abuser contains a name and address that one day will be as infamous as Ian Brady and 10 Rillington Place.
The author has written a book that as well as being a gangster novel is also a love story with a moral message preaching "an eye for an eye".
So powerful is this sordid tale that the slaying of grimson, a loathsome pervert who sold women as sex slaves and abused young children is that decent law-abiding readers will cheer when he is executed on page 123.
Just as people shed no tears when Hitler topped himself, Saddam was hung and Mussolino dangled from a lamp-post. No decent person will lose sleep over the slaying of a pervert.
He gets five bullets in his head. One for each of his innocent victims.
A dad, the mum, two sons and a daughter.
As East End gangster Harry Harris "the world is a better place without that nonce case".
Till Death Us Do Part deals with betrayal, adultery, child abuse and revenge.
But the author through the brilliance in his writing manages to intoduce many moments of humour.
My only (slight) criticism is that some questions remain unawnsered.
Like why did the beautiful mum of three walk out on her family to be with a fat, vile, ugly former pimp?
What did she see in him?
Surely she could not of fancied him.
The writer hints that maybe her third affair started because grimson had some kind of hold over her.
Did the former pimp know about her `secret past` as a pub stripper?
Was he blackmailing her?
Or did she willingly climb into his bed?
The book contains various claims of blackmail carried out by grimson and hints that he used force to get her into bed.
And as readers we need to know. I can only hope that all is revealed in the planned sequal.
According to various reviews and comments on the Internet there is going to be a movie version of the book.
With Ray Winstone as the devoted dad. Danny Dyer as the gangland killer.
Amanda Hoolden as Donna Spencer and Patsy Kensit as the adulterous wife.
I suggest that Minty from Eastenders would be ideal as former pimp, child abuser, adulterer and blackmailer richard grimson.
The author does puzzle me though. Why does he let his ex-wife off so lightly.
She cheated on him with three different men over a 12-month period, then lied to get him sent to prison.
So why doesnt he blame her?
Surely it takes two to tango or commit adultery (or in her case four).
Anyway perhaps all will be explained in the long awaited follow up The Gangster Of Slang.
But one thing for sure is that the name richard grimson and his address 40 Hyde Way will always be linked with the likes of Myra Hyndley, Ian Brady, Saddam, Mussolini, Ian Huntley and the killers of Baby P.

This is a novel that comes highly recomended by both personal friends and strangers on the Internet.
A book like this is not written every day of the week or for that matter every 12 months.
Novels like this are published once in a decade - I was going to say `once in a lifetime` but that would be a slight exageration on my part.
Till death Us Do Part is a hard-hitting story of betrayal, serial adultery and revenge.
An old-fashioned love story set in the modern underworld of East London and Essex.
It has three main characters. Julie: A beautiful mum of three and former stripper.
Richard Grimson an ex-pimp, blackmailer and child abuser. And Rod Stewart lookalike Gary Jonson.
A devoted dad who was betrayed by his wife (the love of his life) and who became a vigilante after the forces of law and order let him down.
This book has the violence of A Clockwork Orange, the sexual content of Channel X and the moral values of the bible.
Such as "an eye for an eye" and "do unto others as they do to you".
The adulterous and slutty wife had two affairs before leaving her family to be with fat ugly pervert Richard Grimson.
She cheated on her husband for almost a year and as the book reveals Julie was also having anti-birth control injections of Depo-Prevero.
Even though she was not sleeping with her husband. As he says on Page 64 "I lost my job , my get up and go and my erection, all at once".
Adding:
"But instead of waiting for me to get better and find my mojo she started sleeping around".
First with her sons football trainer and then a work colleague.
But it is her relationship with Richard Grimson the former pimp and child abuser that makes the book and this story so much more then a Mills & Boon type account of adultery.
It turns into a modern day story of revenge and gangland executions after Grimson violently threatens and sexually abuses her three children.
And when the police, the authorities and the courts wont help the devoted dad turns for help to gangland legend Harry Harris.
The shaven-headed gangster and his firm kidnap Grimson and deliver him to the hero dad - who puts three bullets into the perverts head.
Three symbolic bullets. One for each child he has terrorised.
I wont spoil the ending for future readers but I do suggest that all believers in justice and fans of crime novels read this brilliant book.

The updated version of this book is called The Punk Poet and is more hard-hitting then a Mike Tyson uppercut.
This new and better written drama based on a true life story has slight changes from the banned (ha ha) first edition.
All names this time have been changed to protect the innocent and the "guilty" - except for one.
RICHARD GRIMSON.
The name of the fat ugly child-abusing pervert character is still Richard Grimson who is still described as a former pimp, looking like Shrek and driving a BMW.
As the crime writer character Frenkie Flame says on Page 23 "If you disagree with my claims fat boy - then sue me for libel"
The difference between the two books (apart from the title) is not only character name changes but the quality of the writig.
One is tempted to ask if Garry Jackson hired a tabloid hack as a "ghost writer"
On pages 30 and 64 Flame dares the scum who tried to ban TDUDP to try again saying "we would welcome the publicity" adding "this time the former stripper aint blonde and has five kids"
And as readers will discover the child-abusing pimp gets five symbolic bullets in his fat head.
The Punk Poet is more than a re-write of TDUDP as it also draws on the authors autobiography "The Gangster Of Slang".
And as this is updated it also brings us up to date with the main characters.
Richard "the pimp" Grimson is dead, Erica Stanford has gone from former stripper to part-time call girl and the "hero" is living as a single parent with a married lover and a secret bank account.
But he is still fighting for justice and the follow-up swaps gangland hits and tales of child abuse & adultery for courtroom dramas at the Royal Court in London.
The hero has "slaughtered" the abuser of his children and is now fighting to get his house back in the COA and justice for his kids in the European Courts of Human Rights.
The story so far is gripping stuff so part three of this trilogy is going to be dynamite.
AND I CANT WAIT FOR IT TO BE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. As they say "the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth".

A brilliant gangster novel that combines adultery with child abuse and murder.
But unlike run-of-the-mill crime thrillers and gangland adventures this also has a touch of the "Sherlock Holmes" about it.
The hero is not just a wronged husband and "devoted dad" he is also a dedicated seeker of "truth & justice".
When his wife left him for perverted pimp Richard Grimson she thought she had "got away with it" and that her sordid secret would remain a secret forever.
But the truth has a habit of coming to the surfice. And now it is on-the-record forever and a matter of fact that his cheating wife was having Birth Control injections in the six months leading up to her walking out on her family.
As she was not having "sex" with her husband in those 26 weeks it is cast-iron proof that she was having an affair.
So why did the wife betray her loving husband to be with a child-abusing pimp?
Why did she prefer to be with a Shrek lookalike pervert than her beautiful children.
The book gives many clues and the reader can only come to the conclusion that her low-life lover had some kind of hold over her.
I`m no D.I Jack Regan or modern day Sherlock Holmes but my guess is that the child-abusing pimp was "blackmailing" her.
Whatever the reason like all self-obsessed and evil people the main female character in this book paid a "heavy price" for her betrayal.
Hitler lost an Empire, Trotsky lost his life and Julie Jackson lost her family.
This is without doubt the best gangster book since Stop The Ride I Want To Get Off and would make a great movie in the genre of The Long Good Friday and Get Carter.
Amanda Holden would be brilliant as the sex crazy cheating wife and Al Murray perfect as the slug like child-abusing pimp.

Not so much a gangster novel more a modern day fable. True it is set in the Underworld of East London and the Essex borders but the story is universal.
This is Lock Stock meets the Bible that draws on the Old Testament teachings of an "eye for an eye" to wipeout child-abusing former pimp Richard Grimson.
The hero of this book is Harry Harris ( a combination of Reggie Kray and Arthur Daley ). Harry is a modern day villian with old-school values who hates pimps, paedophiles and LOW-LIFE scum who hurt women.
This is why he hates Richard Grimson as the fat tub of lard ticks all the boxes.
Grimson is a former pimp who uses a respectable housewife and carries out a sick perverted campaign of terror against her children.
Thir truly is a powerful book that promotes good over evil and turns vigilantes into disciples of Shiria Law.
A book that is crying out to be a film. A novel so hard-hitting that it can turn a vicious gangster into a hero.
And this is because the bad guy is pure scum. Richard Grimson is a sick pervert who sells women for sex and abuses children to get his sick kicks.
That is why when Harry Harris wipes him out on page 123 you dont just smile, you cheer...
This is the best revenge novel I have ever read...though it should be called a "Justice Book".
