About this listen

Lust, power, revenge: the gripping gangland thriller from Karen Woods – the writer to show you the dark side of Manchester.

Two women – one too innocent, one who knows too much. They have secrets, but none as lethal as those they uncover when they get caught up in turf wars between two strip club owners on the back streets of Manchester.

Elsa Bradshaw is 18. Despite a tough start – never knowing her father, and barely seeing her mother who’d rather be chasing men – she’s grown up with her grandmother’s values and a desire to build a better life. But will falling for local bad boy, Clayton, change all that?

Pamela Maylett seems to have everything – as wife of local lap-dancing club owner, Jordan, she’s got money, influence and plenty of life’s little luxuries. But is her beautiful home also her prison? She knows her husband is surrounded by women at work – after all, she was dancing when she met him. But Jordan won’t let his wife back on the stage and Pamela misses the lights, the lust and the power.

When Elsa crosses paths with Pamela, she is grateful to be taken under her wing, and shown a world she never realised was out there. Elsa has a lot to learn – about the clubs, about what she wants, and most importantly, what she’ll do to get it.

As the men that own the local clubs start a turf war, it’s time for the women to step up…

Brilliant

It’s a good book from beginning to end of how a young girl can get caught up in the under world of pole dancing. It would be good to have a follow up book to find out what happened to the remaining characters and of course the heroine. Well read, the book went quickly and worth a listen.

Interesting plot

A good storyline but went into a lot of detail about grooming and sexual abuse which some might find disturbing. Thus aside it was a good book and narration was excellent apart from some of the female voices like Elsa

Should be a trigger warning about rape and sexual abuse
