Summary

Sometimes crime does pay, but at what price?

Some people are made for a life of crime.

Dragged up on a council estate, Jason Rampling was determined to change his lot. Jason's a chancer, shameless with his good looks and his gift for earning a few quid. Life is easy when the money rolls in.

Some people are ruined by it.

Melissa thought she'd struck gold marrying Jason. Being on his arm meant she was finally a someone. But there's no glamour in waiting for your husband to come home or waiting for a knock on the door. Melissa made her bed the day she made her vows - will she lie in it without a fight?

Some would kill for it.

After a stretch inside, Jason wants to pull off just one last job, the biggest of all. It could solve all of their problems. But this is a game that could cost them everything....

brilliant

This was honestly the best book I've listened to/read in a really long time. I did not see the twist coming whatsoever. Fantastic

Excellent!

Another great by Kimberley Chambers.
I love all of her work. I think I am just too much of a fan of the Butlers' to put any other character at the top of my favourite list. Great listen though, well read by Annie, interesting plot and a good twist at the end - would totally recommend it for any fan of Kimberley Chambers or Martina Cole etc.

A good listen

I liked this book but I felt compared to her others the plot was a little weak, I guessed where the storyline was going. Kimberley chambers is an excellent author and I look forward to her next book, the narration as always was excellent well done to Annie Aldington she makes the characters come alive.
