About this listen

The epic new thriller from the No.1 bestselling Queen of Gangland crime! Kenny Bond. A murderer. A gangster. A good family man.

Meet the Bonds

Kenny Bond is finally out of prison after doing a long stretch for killing a copper, and is determined to get back to life on the straight and narrow.

A family like no other

Kenny’s son Donny might lack his father’s edge but his twin grandsons, Beau and Brett – well, they are Bonds through and through. Like him, they won’t let anyone stand in their way.

But they’re about to meet their match

Family comes before everything else for Kenny, but there’s a feud brewing that could cause murder, and a new family on Dark Lane might bring the Bonds to their knees. Kenny’s determined that nothing, and no one, will threaten his family. But can the Bonds stick together when someone’s out to take them down?

Meet THE BONDS.
You don’t want to be on the wrong side of this family.

such a shame that Annie Alderlington didn't narrate this, was hard to follow at times and lack of pauses between scenes confused the story 😕 always a good story to be had by Kimberly, but seriously disappointed in the narrator.

Great story, shame about the narration

I never drifted outside of The Family Mans world whilst listening Great new main characters but a little more meat on the bones needed for a few who’s parts are important to really bring it to the minds eye
I was immersed from the beginning till the end I can only hope for a trilogy
Great narrator Annie is great but This guy brought main character Kenny to life perfectly

Top draw !!!

Enjoyed this book. I am a big Kimberley Chambers fan and wasn’t disappointed 😊 I like the way the book tells the story of family generations. It’s the first time I’ve listened to a book by this particular narrator and I enjoyed his story telling.

A real journey !
