About this listen

Slave Girls, a new series by bestselling author Louise Allen, reveals a shocking modern-day scandal of County Lines–the single most dangerous form of systematic child abuse prevalent today.

Charlotte—The Cutting Girl—comes from a family of high achievers. Her father is a politician, and her mother is a senior medical officer.

When she moves from her prestigious boarding school she is groomed by a girl two years her senior, spiralling into a cycle of drugs, self-harm, and sexual abuse.

When she goes missing, five other girls do, too. A nationwide media campaign sets out to track them down, but can Charlotte ever escape the gang behind the abduction and abuse?

An incredible, insightful and heart wrenching book. Who knew it wasn’t just socially and economically deprived children at risk of exploitation. Money can get you many things but it can’t buy safety when a parent does not parent.

Louise Allen has such a natural way of writing and I love every single thing I have listened to which is all of her Looked After Children books. The books tells a horrifying reality

Working in a children's home this gives more context to the situation, always loving Louise's book this did not disappoint! Please keep raising awareness, it's what we can do to help these young people living horrific situations.

Firstly, this subject is so crucial for everyone to understand. I believed I knew a fairly good bit about the subject of county lines; but it is at a much deeper level and on a much wider scale than I realised. Louise, thank you for making this your duty to educate us. Everyone needs to know. I have become somewhat involved in the International Justice Mission (IJM) as well as Stop the Traffik organisations - both borne of learning and listening to all that you have exposed to us, over the last few years, through your and others like you, writings. Both of these organisations exist doing incredible work for a lot of what you have written about yet I've always been acutely aware that there is so very much still to do. I am a general nurse (in the 'real world') so do what I can, when I can. But the scale, the 'brains' behind these horrors are frightening and need stopped. I appreciate the way that you've illuminated those few people who get how the human psyche works and use that understanding to make change (Aiofe). Thank you Louise. This was well worth the wait.
Secondly - to the narrator:
Dear Charlie Sanderson. You delivered this absolutely perfectly and I am so so pleased (cheeky to say proud of you, but I am 😘) I was HUGELY concerned when waiting for the release of this to see it wasnt going to be Melanie.

Dear Charlie Sanderson. You delivered this absolutely perfectly and I am so so pleased (cheeky to say proud of you, but I am 😘) I was HUGELY concerned when waiting for the release of this to see it wasnt going to be Melanie Crawley. But you could not have executed this harrowing, troubling, tale any better - I was taken, from your first utterance. This was perfect, and I could not stop listening......
You hit those various accents perfectly - I FELT Vera, I FELT Aiofe, I FELT the uber posh mum of Charlotte but most of all I felt Charlotte..... her fear, her loss of self etc. You delivered the F bomb with tangible feeling, I believe you invested in all of these feelings too. I hope you are to read the whole series. These lost children's stories deserve exactly your delivery. Thank you. Lou McC
