Summary
SHE WAS MADE IN THE EAST END . . .
For young Queenie, life in the backstreets of Whitechapel was a lesson in survival – Hitler’s bombs hit those with nothing the hardest. When danger strikes close to home, Queenie finds an ally in Mrs O’Leary, whose two sons are the kingpins of the East End. But while the O’Learys are the light in Queenie’s life, fate has a different path in store.
AND MEN ARE WHAT THEIR MOTHERS MAKE THEM . . .
Now married to the useless Albie Butler, Queenie is raising her children to fight their own battles. If the O’Learys taught her anything, it was that surviving meant doing whatever you had to, no questions asked, and family always comes first. The Butler boys will make sure their mother’s name becomes East End legend.
MEET QUEENIE.
THIS IS HER STORY.

Critic reviews
"If you enjoy tough, gritty crime novels, you will love this book." (Rachel Abbott)
"A great read from one of our favourite crime writers." (Closer)
"I'm a big fan of Kimberley Chambers. For me Life of Crime is her best book yet. Brutally realistic, epic in scale and with a twist I didn't see coming." (Jaime Raven)

The old not rights! Lol
Having read all the Butler and Mitchell trilogy I was looking forward to this book and wasn't disappointed.
During the Butler series Queenie is quite a frequent character and weather you like her or not she certainly is comical at times.
Well written and narrated.

Excellent
This is actually the prequel to the "Butler" series even though released after the first 4 - once again a great story, well written and performed by the amazing Annie Aldington.

'New Author'.
I had never read any novels by this author before so started listening with an open mind. It definitely did not disappoint!Annie Aldington was superb and brought the characters to life. I particularly enjoyed the journey through time over the decades ,using descriptions of music, fashion and references to events of each era.After finishing this, I had to order The Trap immediately, to follow the Butlers' colourful and dramatic lifestyle which never failed to shock!

Addictive Reading
Wow, probably one of the best books I have ever read. Never heard of the author until she was interviewed on BBC Breakfast News. Thought I would give the book a try and did not regret. A page turner from start to finish. I am now heading off to buy the first in the Butler trilogy.
