Summary

Three Butlers. Two weddings. One funeral. 

The explosive new novel from the Sunday Times number-one best-selling author Kimberley Chambers. 

Times are changing in the East End, from bad to worse....

Despite the love they share, Bella and Michael's lives seem to be continually throwing grenades in their path to true happiness. Bella's dark secret is threatening to spiral out of control - and has the power to destroy the Butler brothers' bond once and for all.... 

Meanwhile, Little Vinny has truly turned over a new leaf and is doing everything he can to be a good husband and father. He doesn't want to follow in his old man's footsteps, but the apple never falls far from the tree, and despite everything he's done to wipe the slate clean, his past is about to catch up with him. 

Everyone knows the Butler family's reputation - you don't mess with them unless you've got a death wish. But there's someone out there doing the unthinkable - and they are aiming for the heart of the family. It feels like the end of a golden era - could it finally be the end of the Butlers? 

Perfect for fans of Martina Cole.

At the end of this audiobook continue listening for the exclusive chapter of Queenie, Kimberley Chambers' newest story and the gripping prequel to the brilliant Butler series.

A gripping follow up to the wronged

I couldn't stop listening , I'm hoping that Ms Chambers hadn't put the Butlers to bed, there are still quite a few loose ends.....looking forward to more,

Another Cracker

I love the Butler series and again was surprised with the twists and turns throughout the book. Viv and Queenie are classic with their quips and never fail to make me smile or laugh out loud. And of course Annie Aldington brings the characters to life but to be fair I love any book narrated by her.
Kimberley is a must for Martina Cole and Mandasue Heller. Her books gather momentum from the first chapter and never lose pace and by the end of her books I am left breathless.
