Summary

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. And your family should be closest of all.

Patrick Brodie knows exactly how far he's prepared to go to get what he wants. And he wants it all. Now. Before long, Patrick has become a legend in his own lifetime. Violently.

Lily Diamond is different from the kind of woman Patrick is normally attracted to. But together they are determined that their children will have everything they didn't. Until the unthinkable happens, and Lily is left on her own to look after their family in a dangerous world. The Brodies must stay close to survive. But as everyone knows, your sins will find you out.

Another great listen

Although this book was over 17 hours long I managed to get through it in just a few days like all the other Martina Cole books I’ve listened to! I found this one a little slow to begin with but it soon picked up and I was gripped right to the very end, bit of a shocker that Lance was as twisted as what he turned out even though you got the jest he was a bit of a freak from the start!!! Annie Aldington is a fabulous narrator and like normal helped keep you gripped by the book and storyline, love her voice and couldn’t think of another person who would do the book justice like she does, I always used to read the Martina Cole books myself but since finding them on Audible I’ve only ever listened to them since, even down loading those I’ve already bought in hardback format.
Just going to upload my next listen now!!
