Critic reviews

"A brilliantly gripping tale." (Lucy Foley)

"No one writes crime fiction like Susie Steiner." (Erin Kelly)

"Manon Bradshaw is such a great creation. (Remain Silent) is so spot-on about love, relationships, middle-age, being a woman. The plot...broke my heart. So moving." (Marian Keyes)

Manon brings us another great episode of policing v managing life.
Unfortunately I didn't enjoy this as much as the first two books (which I read), as the narration was very uncomfortable.

Another great story from Suzy Steiner

A different storyline to the norm. Interesting if a bit obvious. The way the story is told is the interesting factor. This narrator let this book down and cannot repeat accents.

Interesting. Bad narration

This is the 3rd Suzi Steiner I’ve read. Have loved all 3. Great characterisation poignant descriptive and insightful - love her writing!

Great plot, beautifully written

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
extremely good storyline about a current concern, slave labour. thoroughly entertaining book. I enjoyed form beginning to end.

One of the very best narrators around

Susie Steiner writes fabulous characters and I find the twists and turns of Manon’s life and her no-holds -barred observations more satisfying than the crimes, particularly in this book. Her feelings on middle age and marriage are so acute that if I had been reading a physical book I would have underlined them and popped a post it note on the page so I could re-read them. ‘No one is entitled to be happy’ or words to that effect! And Manon’s lecture to Bri’s husband Peter (I won’t do a spoiler about why) is nothing short of brilliant.

However, I have to agree with other reviewers about the narration. Juanita is talented as a reader but regional accents are not her strong suit. The Scottish accent in particular is problematic and Davy veers from ooh-aah zummerset by way of Cardiff and as for Kim; Geordie, Irish, Liverpudlian? It’s a shame, narration can make or break audio books. My advice is fast forward through the Scottish, it’s not deal-breaking in terms of plot!

Great characters, narration flawed
