About this listen
The fourth spellbinding book in the epic Clifton Chronicles series
Be Careful What You Wish For opens with Harry Clifton and his wife, Emma, rushing to hospital to learn the fate of their son, Sebastian, who has been involved in a fatal car accident. But who died, Sebastian or his best friend Bruno?
When Ross Buchanan is forced to resign as chairman of the Barrington Shipping Company, Emma Clifton wants to replace him. But Don Pedro Martinez intends to install his puppet, the egregious Major Alex Fisher, in order to destroy the Barrington family firm just as the company plans to build its new luxury liner, the MV Buckingham. Back in London, Harry and Emma's adopted daughter wins a scholarship to the Slade Academy of Art where she falls in love with a fellow student, Clive Bingham, who asks her to marry him. Both families are delighted until Priscilla Bingham, Jessica's future mother-in-law, has a visit from an old friend, Lady Virginia Fenwick, who drops her particular brand of poison into the wedding chalice.
Then, without warning, Cedric Hardcastle, a bluff Yorkshireman who no one has come across before, takes his place on the board of Barringtons. This causes an upheaval that none of them could have anticipated, and will change the lives of every member of the Clifton and Barrington families. Hardcastle's first decision is who to support to become the next chairman of the board: Emma Clifton or Major Alex Fisher? And with that decision, the story takes yet another twist that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Time to trust the listeners !!!!
What made the experience of listening to Be Careful What You Wish For the most enjoyable?
I am really unhappy about the cliff hanging endings !! It almost feels like the author doesn't trust the listener to purchase the next book !! After 4 books the endings have become a turnoff !! Good stories encourage further purchases without this kind of blackmail !! Pity because I enjoyed the stories.

Better than previously
I’ve listened to the previous books in the chronology and although the first was gripping felt the others were running out of steam. However this book has redeemed the series in being well written, joined up and pacy. Narrator Alex Jennings is spot on with the characterisations and accents. He really brings the characters to life. All in all I really enjoyed it apart from the predictable cliff hanger at the end.

A great yarn, dreadful accents!
The Clifton Chronicles certainly keep you listening, and the narration is mostly good, but the various accents, from Argentinian to Scottish to Northern Irish are dreadful and distracting.
