About this listen

He’s her son, but he’s no good. How far will she go for him?

Not all sons make their mother proud…

June Dawson has come a long way from her rough East End background.

She now lives in a nice little cul-de-sac in Rainham with her ultra-respectable husband and a lovely social life. But her world collapses when daughter Debbie announces that she is pregnant by her low-life drug addict boyfriend, Billy McDaid. June feels as though she is being sucked back into the world of villains and thugs she thought she had escaped forever.

But worse is yet to come. The baby – doted on by his violent and feckless dad – grows into the child from hell. He is mean, sadistic and out of control. Suddenly, the family is not just in crisis. It is in meltdown.

Praise for Kimberley Chambers:

‘This beautifully crafted, sharp, well-paced novel will keep you hooked until the very end. An outstanding tale of betrayal, violence and love. Buy it. Read it. You'll love it. I did.’ Amanda Prowse

‘[Kimberley Chambers is] the queen of the gritty, low-life tale . . .a fast-paced, thrill-a-minute ride that takes you on all sorts of twists and turns’ Bella

‘Easily as good as Martina Cole’ News of the World

‘Brilliantly delivers a story of violence, treachery and family ties… Easy to read and hard to put down’ News of the World

‘[a] fast-paced tale with gritty authenticity’ The Guardian

Not Kimberly's best, but entertaining nevertheless. Shame about the narrator s Scottish accent, really dreadful and was hard to keep focused on the sorry as it was so poor. Worth a punt though.

not bad

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I hope the rest of her titles are as good as.

Brutal story, brought 'alive' by the brilliant narration of Annie Aldington.

If you are of a sensitive nature, then maybe this particular book is not for you. Without giving too much away, there is domestic violence, torture and gutty barbaric action all wrapped up in a big dose of self denial.
This book had me gripped. I even missed my Corrie & Emmerdale to listen to more !

I am struggling to find another book to match this book's performance and storyline!

Be prepared to get gripped by this book
