Summary
The heir to Martina Cole’s crown with a story of murder, the underworld, violence and treachery.
It’s 1983 and Stephanie Crouch’s life is dull. She is desperate to escape the run-down, pokey council house she shares with her overbearing family, but at fourteen years old she has nowhere to go.
When Stephanie meets East End wide-boy Barry, his cockney charm and quick tongue soon have her head over heels in love. Finally Stephanie feels like her dreary life is on the up. But too young to control their fate, Stephanie and Barry are torn apart when he is whisked away to Spain by his family. Lonely and heartbroken Stephanie turns to Barry’s childhood friend Wayne for comfort, and their friendship soon blossoms into romance, leaving Barry fuming and promising revenge....
,P>Ten years later Barry returns to England. Within one month Stephanie's happy world with Wayne is turned upside down. People immediately start to point the finger of accusation at Barry, but is he the one to blame? Or, should Stephanie look elsewhere to find the schemer who has ruined her life?Critic reviews

Annie Aldington 👌🏼 (no words needed)
Annie Aldington should be the only narrator to be allowed to read audiobooks. Amazing performance, amazing book.

Cracking good read
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would highly recommend this audiobook as the narrator is easy to listen to once you get used to the accent and manages to hold your interest with the pacy story.
What did you like best about this story?
The reveals
Which character – as performed by Annie Aldington – was your favourite?
Stupid question
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes but that would not be practical
Any additional comments?
As I was saying I would highly recommend this audiobook as the story never wanes into boring uninteresting territory, there are several twists and turns and you somehow care about one or two of the characters and want to know what has happened to them. To say much more would be to give away the plot in this mystery story. One of my favourites and recommend without hesitation as an excellent listen.

BRILLIANT
A really good read.
One of the best I've read in 2017.
Kimberly's books never fail to entertain and narrated by Annie, you couldn't ask for better.

Good storyline
I enjoyed this but could have done without the choice language at times. I realise this is a personal hate of mine however do not believe there was the necessity of the use of the c**t word. I'm pretty sure an alternative could have been found.
Overall an enjoyable listen.
