Summary

Family. They're supposed to watch your back. Not stab you in it.

When the enemy is one of your own, the payback is twice as hard. 

The Butler brothers are the Kings of the East End, and their motto is ‘what goes around, comes around'. In their world, family counts; so when the truth about Vinny's cousin's death comes to light, it rocks the Butlers to the core. One by one, Vinny's friends and family are turning against him.

Then, the unimaginable happens - Vinny's little daughter, Molly, goes missing. She's the one chink of light in all their lives, and the one they'd commit murders to bring back. But is it already too late for that? Is this payback? 

The Butlers are back in this gripping, compulsive sequel to The Trap.

At the end of this audiobook continue listening for the exclusive chapter of Queenie, Kimberley Chambers' newest story and the gripping prequel to the brilliant Butler series.

Well written and well narrated: A winner

This author has me hooked all the way. The sense drama and urgency make this book very difficult to put down.

The narrator really brings this book to life and I have become a firm fan.

I am now eagerly awaiting the next book as I have read all of the current ones and cannot wait for the next instalment.

Gripped to the very clever twist at the end

A fantastic book, so well written and narrated by the wonderful Annie Aldington. I couldn't put it down, it kept me gripped to the very clever twist at the end. I became totally absorbed in the believable characters and I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series. I would definitely recommend this book. If you like Martina Cole at her very best, you'll love this.

Fantastic, gritty series

I love this series and Annie is an amazing narrator who pulls you right into the story and gives each character their own distinctive voice.
One small criticism, Annie, you need to speak to some Irish people .... That accent! 😂

Part 2 of a great trilogy

Where does Payback rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the 2nd book in a trilogy, I listened to them all in order-Superb narration by Annie Aldington and a fast paced story set in the 80's in the East of London about a likeable gangster family. Gritty reading, excellent story. I am now hooked on Kimberly Chambers and have begun her second trilogy.
