About this listen

All debts must be paid. In blood.

When underworld loan shark Davie Saunders is gunned down at his daughter's wedding, his loved ones are sure that a rival East End crime family is responsible. Davie's widow and daughters must now step up and take control of Davie's empire, but from the beginning it's clear they're in way over their heads.

Shy bride Mia has no experience of giving orders, self-centred middle-child Kelsey is more concerned with keeping her affair with bodyguard Todd a secret, and baby of the family Scarlett is very firmly kept out of the business while she finishes her education.

But all three sisters, as well as ex-model mum Amanda, are determined to do whatever it takes to get what they're owed.

I thought this was going to be great with colin mace as the cockney villain, but they killed him off and turned it in to a woman power story. Sorry but lost interest after Davey.

Let down

I started out really enjoying this story, but it ended up being too plot driven, with a plot that felt contrived. The characters were interesting, but needed more development somehow. It felt unrealistic. I also wish that the author could study the basics of when to use "(Name) and I" and when "(Name) and me". Anyone can get it wrong, but to consistently use "and I" every time is incorrect and annoying. I learnt this trick at primary school: Remove the "(Name) and" from the sentence to find out whether it makes sense. The narrators were both good, especially the male narrator, but sadly (spoiler alert), we lost him quite early on, with the dad's death.

Had potential
