Constantly suprising

This isn't something I would usually go for but I actually enjoyed this massively. the main character is constantly suprising and endearing . I would highly recommend.

perfectly written book. great narration

fantastic . beautifully written book. If you're after erotica look elsewhere as there are only a couple of sex scenes but if you're interested in beautiful writing and dark characters, this book is a must read.

Mesmerising

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have listened to hundreds of audible books .. this one captured my imagination and the journey played out in my head like a movie. I loved it and can't wait for the next one ...hurry please have it available in audible.

What does Emilia Fox bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

She has a magical way of drawing you into the story.. I genuinely think the narrator is extremely important in making a book come to life and she certainly has done that with this story...

Erm....

I feel I was mis-sold this book. I was looking forward to a thriller around the art world. What I got was a lot of porn, or erotica, and a bit of a thriller. The thriller element of the book was good, the erotica may be good if that's your kind of thing. It is so definitely not mine and I cringed every time Emilia Fox starting throwing out lewd and crude words. I sped up the narration so I could finish it quicker and it got to the stage that I didn't care who had done what to whom as I just wanted it to be over. If you don't mind erotica and lewd language then you'd probably enjoy this book. Definitely not for me!

Probably Marmite

I suspect this book will be one of those "Marmite" titles and you'll either love it or hate it.
I bought it it because it was different to my usual thrillers and police procedurals and I wasn't disappointed. Indeed, I'm currently listening to the second book in the trilogy.

So, what were the key points for me to pass on?

1. The plot revolves around theft and duplicity in the world of art dealing. To me, as someone who knows very little about art and the activities of galleries and auction houses, it was very well researched and cleverly constructed.

2. If you like to cheer for a hero (or heroine), you'll be disappointed. None of the major characters, and few of the minor ones for that matter, would be on your Christmas card list. In the main, they're selfish, ruthless, avaricious liars, without morals or compassion. All that is important to them is money and image.

3. The sex is graphic and sometimes appears incidental to the plot. Lots of "c-words," so if you don't like that, this is not for you.

4. Emilia Fox narrates this brilliantly. Her voice suits the main character perfectly (the book is written in the first person) and she has a wide range of accents for the characters. She's a major reason to go for book 2, Domina. And if you like down and dirty sex read in a posh voice, this is for you.

There has been some comparison to 50 Shades of Grey. Nothing like it, even in the sex scenes.

Overall it was different enough to be interesting, the story moves at a good pace and the narration is excellent. With Audible's returns policy letting you send back any book you don't like, what have you got to lose?

Good story, over sexed

Excellent narration. Good story, fast moving and unexpected. For me though there was more sex than I was interested in listening to.

Can't wait for part two!

I loved the mix of suffocation, sex and killing I didn't however like the C word I am sure there's other just as powerful words to describe ladies parts, I aren't a prude I just thought it took from the scenes sometimes but each to there own and it definitely didn't spoil it. I think it would make a great film with Emilia Fox as leading lady as she has that air of suffocation about her that is needed. Hurry and write part two
