About this listen

Sometimes crime does pay, but at what price?

**The No.1 Sunday Times bestseller**

Some people are made for a life of crime

Dragged up on a council estate, Jason Rampling was determined to change his lot. Jason’s a chancer, shameless with his good looks and his gift for earning a few quid. Life is easy when the money rolls in.

Some people are ruined by it

Melissa thought she’d struck gold marrying Jason. Being on his arm meant she was finally a someone. But there’s no glamour in waiting for your husband to come home, or waiting for a knock on the door. Melissa made her bed the day she made her vows – will she lie in it without a fight?

Some would kill for it

After a stretch inside Jason wants to pull off just one last job, the biggest of all, it could solve all of their problems. But this is a game that could cost them everything . . .

Kimberley and Annie have nailed it once again!

I was hooked from the first page, 3/4 of the way through I thought I had it figured out. Boy was I wrong!
I'm off to listen again..... :)

Not exactly a 'crime' story

I chose this book as I’ve previously listened to a lot of Martina Cole audiobooks narrated by Annie Aldington & she’s a fantastic narrator, this story however wasn’t anywhere near as good as Martina! The first 12 hours were more a terrible love story than crime, the last 2 hours were 'OK' although I figured out who committed the crime long before the big reveal. Overall it was pretty disappointing.
