About this listen

The second linked drama dealing with the fall out of the case of Debbie Hurst who was vilified as the most repulsive woman in Britain for allowing her ten year old daughter to dance semi-naked on the internet for paedophiles. It is six months since the case exploded on to the red tops and Joanne was the social worker who took the flak. She feels as though she was hung out to dry and wants to know why.

The story and the performance were brilliant but I feel a bit conned into buying such a short story. full price for 1 45 min chapter!

one chapter!

Only one chapter!!

Good acting, however it is only one chapter. When you see 'Chapter 1', you expect other chapters but there are not. Therefore it's a waste of money.

Only one chapter!
