Summary
‘One of the wittiest writers around’ Good Housekeeping ‘The perfect summer read: mischievous and delicious. I devoured it in one go.’ Miranda Cowley Heller, author of The Paper Palace
WHEN THE STAKES ARE HIGH, HOW LOW WILL YOU GO?
Ayesha Scott has a perfect life. Home is an art-filled Cornish castle with her stratospherically wealthy, titled husband and their beloved daughter. But behind every realised dream lurks an unexploded nightmare and in the course of one day Ayesha discovers that she will be penniless, homeless and powerless unless she can outwit the international mafia, infiltrate the world of high finance and make backstreet deals with the shadiest members of the art world. Hurt and betrayed, she’s determined to fight for herself and her daughter – but can she do it without enlisting the help of her beloved, deeply eccentric but estranged family?

Good performance let down by mispronunciations
I enjoyed the story, and the characters. The narrator had a great voice with an easy style to listen to. The only thing which was grating was the mispronunciation of quite a few of the words-just the wrong emphasis sometimes, but often totally mispronounced. It was a shame as it was a good job otherwise.

A highly engaging story which kept me listening
I really enjoyed the story and was rooting for the heroine -it took me a while to understand the ancillary characters and how they fitted in .
I think the end was a bit disappointing unless there is another book .

Mediocre
The narrator's voice is good, however, the mispronunciation of some of the same words over and over again is very irritating.
