About this listen
Being in the know can be deadly. Joanie Brewer's children mean the world to her. She'd do anything to make sure they're fed and clothed - even if it means going on the game - and she lives in constant fear that one of them will be taken from her. Eighteen-year-old Jon Jon is knee-deep in crime, and Jeanette, only fourteen, knows more than is good for her. But it's Kira who really scares her, for in a world where no one is to be trusted, her eleven-year-old angel is the most vulnerable to danger. Then Kira disappears and Joanie's darkest fears are realised. She thinks she knows what's happened to her little girl, and her obsession to uncover the truth threatens to destroy them all.

Love Martina Cole
My favourite author by far, I fall in love with the characters from the first chapter and find the storyline tense. I have listened to a lot of thriller type audiobooks and Martina Cole has not let me down yet. brilliant!

Lifes knocks
I found this novel an interesting take on the criminal underworld and its interaction with the police and everyday life of those living on the fringe of society. It is based on the life of a working girl and how this impacts on her family and friends. This is reflected in the language and some might find this a little uncomfortable as it is peppered throughout with choice words.
It delves into prostitution, their pimps and some might find the explicit child abuse difficult to deal with and cringe worthy, especially the way some of the minor characters see, speak and use their children. It does however show how some children follow in their parents’ footsteps.
Nevertheless, I did enjoy the novel and its juxtaposition of different styles of mothering from the same social settings. It follows the route of honour among thieves and how they look after their own which at times seem a little cliché but at others have you thinking ‘good on you’. All in all the story is a bit like Christmas cake, not to everyone’s taste and sometimes comes with cheese and at other times soaked in brandy.
I loved the way Annie Aldington adds character to each personality through her narration of the book. I would definitely listen to another of her performances.

Absolutely Fantastic.
Annie Aldington tells this story magnificently. This is the first Martina Cole book I read back in the day and the first novel I fell in love with. Second only to 'The Ladykiller', this piece if fiction is a work of art.
