‘Fans of Martina Cole will enjoy Nameless ‘ Daily Express

‘Jessie Keane gives us a fascinating insight into the rivalries and lifestyles of those who make fortunes out of a criminal way of life and of the lowlifes that carry out their orders’ Lincolnshire Echo

‘This is the sort of competition Martina Cole could do without and if Keane does hit the No. 1 spot it could be handbags, or more likely knuckledusters, at dawn’ The Northern Echo

‘The book is incredibly well written and the author allows you to develop a real empathy for the characters… The only disappointment I had was when I had finished the book, I wanted more! This is not the usual sort of material that I would read but I was gripped from the very beginning right through to the end.  I would thoroughly recommend it’ www.Mojomums.co.uk

‘Didn’t want this story to end and it certainly didn’t end as expected.  The last sting in the tail tears it all apart and the final chapter made me want to shout out in anger and dismay. A brilliant book.  I really hope a sequel is written as so many questions are left unanswered’ http://jayneanderson.blogspot.co.uk/

‘All I can say is that Jessie Keane is a force to be reckoned with in the crime genre now. Not only has she produced a great series (Annie Carter) she has also written some absolutely blinding stand alones. With this latest addition, Jessie Keane is quickly proving herself to be un-stoppable. Nameless has only made me want to read more (I sincerely hope this is going to have a follow up!) and as usual Jessie Keane does not disappoint. BLINDING!!!’ http://www.bestcrimebooks.co.uk/

‘Nameless is great at proving that a woman’s strength should never be underestimated and a mothers love is eternal. I cannot wait for the next book!!!!’ http://nicolemcmanusreviews.wordpress.com/
