About this listen

Leyli Maal is a beautiful Malian woman, mother of three, living in a tiny apartment on the outskirts of Marseille.

Her quiet life as a well-integrated immigrant is suddenly shaken when her beautiful eldest daughter, Bamby, becomes the main suspect in two murders linked to a lethal illegal immigration racket.

Is Bamby really involved? And why is everyone desperate to get their hands on Leyli's mysterious red notebook?

A bit laboured in places so it was easier to listen to rather than read

Good plot and twist
