Customer Reviews

good and fast read

I really enjoyed this book, especially having read "Mr. Nice" a few years back. The female perspective does give the whole story another twist. If you enjoyed "Mr. Nice" you shouldn't miss out on this one!

Utterly riveting

This book provides a refreshing inside account of life with the fabled Howard Marks. The book is well written and in parts highly amusing. It shows another side of 'Mr Nice', we don't get to see in his book. It makes for a captivating and fascinating read.

Mrs Nice

This book is a surprisingly good read. I read it in 2 days. Her description of male smugglers is hysterically funny. It is a very emotional book and a gripping tale. It fills in a lot of gaps from Mr Nice and avoids repetition. People don't expect it to be good because she is 'the wife' which is ridiculous and sexist. Judy is clearly very well educated, with a kind heart and a wry sense of humour. She met all of the characters discussed in Mr Nice and offers a different perspective on the goings-on. Her accounts of prison-lfe are fascinating.
