About this listen

A gripping story of revenge - the prequel to Cruel Secrets - from the gangland governor, Kerry Barnes!

Bermondsey, London. With an absent father and a penniless mother, Cyril Reardon is determined to be the man of the house. As young as eight, Cyril is a charmer, a planner, and a risk-taker. A rare trip to the country, shows Cyril a completely different world, and it opens his eyes to how the other half lives.

A young man wants Cyril shot dead but receives a nasty scar and a few injuries that set him on a path of revenge. Little does he know that all the time he was being raised a lord, Cyril Reardon was being raised a gangster.

Only one of them is a gentleman. Only one of them plays the cards they were dealt.

An easy listen with some flare. Too similar to the previous book for me, for which this is the prequel.

Interesting listen, I enjoyed this book because even though it was about a gangster, the violence was far and few between. Was enjoyable as you got to grow with the characters throughout their lives. I'm looking forward to listening to more from this author.
