About this listen

I might be a grandmother. But I’m not some sweet, harmless old lady who people can push around.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince.

They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by.

I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Now he wants his daughters back.

Over my dead body.

I finally have a family of my own. And nobody is going to take it away from me.

A bit silly and far-fetched. The main character's in her sixties and it made me smile to hear how she was described as if she were 90

Got as a freebie. Dragged on with not much happening

Totally unbelievable storyline , thank goodness it was a free book. Irritating accents and as a 70 something woman I found Yvonne’s’ portrayal rather insulting!! She sounded about 90!!

Poor narration and mispronunciation

Lots of twists to this story and I laughed out loud more than once. The ending was a little silly but I'll forgive that as everything else was so good

Very entertaining

Superb

I enjoy this much more than I was expecting. Crazy family dramas with unexpected twists. A bit far fetched but very enjoyable.

Definitely worth a listen
