"I found it too long ....."
I like Martina Cole books, but this one was so drawn out, I began to get bored with it, I was glad I stuck with it but I guessed who the culprit was long before the end of the book ...The use of bad language was frequent & often uneccessary (I am no prude, but this was over the top). This however, has not put me off buying more Martina Cole.....
"returns"
please help I am abroad and need to return hard girls realise I have read the book way back. The audible conact us will not let me send an email to your conact us. i can not use your telephone because I am in Thailand, this was the reason I am using audible Jean Wall
"Predictable"
Knew who it was less than half way through. Story repetitive. Defo not one of Coles best.
"May be a good tale............But oh what a"
Bland, boring and very dull narrator, maybe the book would be quite interesting but I could not even finish listening. I do wonder why Martina Cole seems to use Annie Aldington on so many of her books, I am very sure there are much better voice actors, someone who could at least change the tone in their voice would be a good start.
"disappointing"
dont buy the unabridged as its repetitive dribble - good story spoilt. i would rather pay more for half the time.
