Story
Annie Bailey had done it all: madam, mistress and gangster's moll. Now she's Annie Carter, and she's taking over the East End. Annie knew that it wouldn't last. Everything was going so well; she was living in Majorca, had Max Carter - the head of the Carter firm - by her side and had given him a beautiful daughter, Layla. But if there was one thing life had taught her, it was that everything could change in the blink of an eye. One minute she's lying by the pool, the next she's out cold. When she comes round, Max and Layla are gone.

Excellent Book
Any additional comments?
I love the Annie Carter books! Unfortunately Audible don't have the first 5 books in the series.
I'm also a little disappointed with Karen Cass reading it. She just doesn't do Annie Carter justice, she makes Annie sound so vulnerable which Annie is most definitely not. I think Karen does a great Ruby Darke though.
I think Annie Aldington would be a better choice to narrate the Annie Carter books.

Disappointing
I pre-order this book and was very excited when it got released on the 8/9/16, however my excitement was short lived. The story was disappointing and nowhere near as good as the rest of the Annie Carter series.
