Summary

No body. No crime. No time. Can you ever escape your past?

Fresh out of prison, Jess Strickland has just six months’ probation to serve until she's free to get on with the life she left behind four years ago.

With few options available, Jess takes a job at Bright’s, an industrial laundry company, alongside other ex-cons, all eager to keep their noses clean.

Here she finds an ally in Karla, but soon learns her new boss, Terry, is not all he seems.

Realising she’s no safer on the outside, Jess refuses to be a victim any longer.

How far will she go to avoid going back to prison?

Good book

Good book and story, ending was ok. Wasn’t fond of the narrator, nothing wrong with her voice or accent, it was the sound of her constant swallowing made me feel a bit sick.

Story was great, narrator was awful!

The story itself was brilliant, couldn’t stop listening to it. Although I wanted to stop listening as the sound of the narrator swallowing and her mouth sounds were gross. I won’t listen to anything she narrates again!

First I thought I wasn't going to like as the narration. But stick with it.

Great plot, narration and bit irritating

The plot was really gripping and I enjoyed the setting of the story in South London, because I know the areas referred to quite well. The story kept me on tenterhooks until the end and there were quite a few shocking twists - real hold your breath moments.

The thing that let it down a bit was the narration. The narration was in the style of an urban poet and it was a bit clichéd. The sentiments were always conveyed with the same inflections of the voice. It wasn’t convincing.
