Story
Family is everything for the Murphy clan. Philip runs his business empire with the help of his brother, and dotes on his two sons who will, one day, take over. His wife Christine is his perfect match. She'd always dreamed of a big happy family and, when she married into the Murphys, she thought she'd found one. But when that illusion is shattered, she's already in too deep. The Murphys are dangerous and Christine can't unsee the horrors she has now been forced to open her eyes to. But nor can she escape them.

Gabby looked at the woman she had hated nearly all her life. Then she sat down on the ladder-backed chair, put her face into her bloodied hands and cried.

But Cynthia is deeply unhappy with her lot; she has always craved the best things in life, and is determined to see that she gets them.

Story
Being in the know can be deadly. Joanie Brewer's children mean the world to her. She'd do anything to make sure they're fed and clothed - even if it means going on the game - and she lives in constant fear that one of them will be taken from her. Eighteen-year-old Jon Jon is knee-deep in crime, and Jeanette, only fourteen, knows more than is good for her. But it's Kira who really scares her, for in a world where no one is to be trusted, her eleven-year-old angel is the most vulnerable to danger. Then Kira disappears and Joanie's darkest fears are realised. She thinks she knows what's happened to her little girl, and her obsession to uncover the truth threatens to destroy them all.

Story
Danger and violence have always been part of Sue Dalston's East End upbringing. Unloved by her mother, abused by her father, and brutalised throughout her entire marriage, she smashed her husband's skull in a final act of desperation. All that keeps her sane knows that she's done it to protect her four children. At last, they are safe from harm. When she is celled up with murderess Matilda Enderby, their fates become inextricably linked. And no one - least of all Sue - could have predicted the consequences...

Publisher's Summary
Martina's back. Just before Danny Cadogan's 14th birthday, his father leaves. Having drunkenly run up a gambling debt he cannot pay, Big Dan Cadogan takes the easy way out, leaving behind his wife and children to face the wrath of the men sent to collect the debt. Determined to protect his mother, brother, and sister, something changes in Danny and overnight, he turns into a young man set on making his way in a violent and dangerous world. He becomes a Face. Not just a Face, but the most feared Face in the Smoke. Out for all he can get, at any cost.
But Danny's ruthlessness on the streets of London doesn't stop at his front door. He rules his wife, Mary, and his children, with an iron will - and his fists. But if Mary breaks her silence, it could shake Danny's criminal empire - right to the very core. And for a Face at the top of his game, there's only one way to go: down. Because, after all, debts can be paid without money.
Set in the heart of London's criminal gangland, Faces is gritty, gripping and utterly unforgettable.

Hard to believe this is martina cole
I dont usually take much notice of reviews as far as martina cole goes but I wish I had! As the reviews state its ridiculously repetitive and theres so much in this book that is really not needed. I'm not a genius by any stretch but even I could work out most of it for myself I didnt need an explanation for everything!

What a Winning Combination
With Martina Cole the Author and Annie Aldington narrating its a win win. I have sourced every audible book with Annie Aldington as narrator and a brilliant author. This winning combination transcends me anywhere in the world when in fact I am travelling. I love this combination so much that I now listen when driving in the car and no longer listen to music. I am off to Centre Parcs and Annie Aldington's voice will be echoing around the villa. Thank you audible you have changed my life, never a wasted moment since discovering you and being a member.

As dull as Coal
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
Someone who needs telling the same thing over and over again
Would you ever listen to anything by Martina Cole again?
Yes, but I would certainly pay more attention to other peoples reviews first.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
The narrator to be fair was fine, she was reading, she didn't write the thing !
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No not really
Any additional comments?
Boring, repetitive ,too long, in fact about 12 hours too long, unnecessary violence and absolutely no story whatsoever .
So not great really !

Oh dear. Very repetitive
I was disappointed in this book. The theme is very similar to 'The Family', but it just goes on and on describing the unsavoury life of the gangster family. I'm about 5 hours into part one and so far there's not much of a narrative. I don't think I can stomach another 14 hours.
