Publisher's Summary
The explosive new novel from the number one best seller. Now with an exclusive interview with Kimberley Chambers at the end of the audiobook.
Before the Butlers came Queenie....
Whitechapel in the 1930s was not an easy place to be brought up, and when the war came, those with nothing were hit the hardest. Queenie watched her family struggle and learned her lessons the hard way. When she was a little girl, there was one thing Queenie knew - she was going to get out of this.... And then tall, dark and handsome Alfie Butler walks into her life and gives Queenie her ticket out.
One rushed wedding later, the real trouble begins. As the Krays make their mark on the East End, Queenie realises what it takes for an East End girl to really succeed. Despite his good looks, Alfie Butler has no backbone, so Queenie looks to her sons. She will make men out of these boys. They won't be weak like their father; they will be as strong as their mother. They will rule the East End, and finally Queenie will get her wish. Her boys - Roy, Vinny and Michael - will make sure their mother's name becomes East End legend....
If you want to find out what happens to Queenie and her boys, there is the first chapter of The Trap - the first in the best-selling Butler series - at the end of this audiobook.
Critic Reviews
"If you enjoy tough, gritty crime novels, you will love this book." (Rachel Abbott)
"A great read from one of our favourite crime writers." (Closer)
"I'm a big fan of Kimberley Chambers. For me Life of Crime is her best book yet. Brutally realistic, epic in scale and with a twist I didn't see coming." (Jaime Raven)

Tedious
I thought this would be a good book about the life of the East End of London. How wrong I was, everybody is all happy and jolly on the whole. and there isn’t any action or a decent story line. It is a boring book to listen to and I had to leave the book without finishing it.

Sadly a little dull
I have listen to many of this style of book. However, this one falls way below my interest level would tolerate. I struggled to listen to the children’s stories but the first few chapters in the war years were better.

Amazing even with the lead character so unlikeble
So strange to have a good book with the main character been so unlikeable. Can’t help but want to know more about queenie and her family. Have read the 4 books after the prequel and hope their is a book 6 soon! After readying the first four it was refreshing to see how it all started and all during the war time which is a cafe cry away from the current book. Amazing and Kimberly chambers is my new Martina Cole. Would make an amazing series

Poor and disappointing
This book lacked a decent storyline. It was nowhere near as good as the rest of the 'Butler'' series. KC seemed a bit lazy with the language in this book. I doubt anyone would visit a lover for a 'booty call' in the 1950's. Words are split to slot a swear word in, way too often. Why would any author call a character 'Fishy Fanny'- jeez so low rent. The narrator is excellent as always but I cringed for her as she read some of the dialogue. She certainly earned her fee.
