Summary

It’s not everyday you find out that your sweet, sweater knitting, church going grandma is the UK’s most prolific crime boss. For Callie Compton, that day became a reality on her eighteenth birthday. Not being criminally inclined, Callie did the only thing she could. She bided her time, stole her grandma’s little black book of scumbag employees, and ran for her life.

Six years later Callie finds herself in a small café in Sweden, her Spidey sense is tingling. Someone is watching her. How did they catch her trail? And what is she going to do next?

Daisy Simpson knew from the age of sixteen that Callie’s grandma was a bad person, just like her own dad. How she regrets not telling Callie before leaving for university all those years ago. Maybe then Callie wouldn’t have disappeared without telling her. Not only was Callie her best friend, and first unrequited love, she was also Daisy’s biggest supporter. Being born deaf into a family like hers wasn’t easy.

Using skills she’s not at liberty to discuss, Daisy tracks Callie to Sweden. After a few days of playing hide and seek, Callie and Daisy are finally reunited. The duo set out to bring Betty, aka Queen B, to her knees. Easy, right? Wrong!

Callie and Daisy must navigate their growing feelings toward each other, deal with several less than happy women, overcome flooded caves and one raging bull. This is no adventure. It’s quite the opposite.

What a hoot!

I wasn’t sure about the narration at the start and I hadn’t read the book prior to listening to it BUT it made me laugh, hold my breath, almost made me cry - what a ride!

super great

The story is great and the performance of the narrator is super. All the different characters and accents. There is suttle humour and that makes me smile.

An engaging and gripping Audio Book

A thoroughly enjoyable listen that grips you from the beginning. The narration brings a great depth to each character portrayed in the story. I found myself fully immersed, eagerly awaiting to see how the story developed with all of its twists and turns. Megan Elliott does a phenomenal narration job that creates a smooth listening experience. A highly recommended audio book for sure.

What a fab story, would make a great film.

Brilliant crime romp, my heart thudding near the end. This has to win awards, modern day Thelma and Louise with enough twists and turns to make you enthralled from beginning to end
