About this listen

The first book in a brand-new thriller series by the Queen of Crime Drama, Lynda La Plante. A burnt-out cottage, a fortune buried in the ashes - and a body that could solve a decades-old crime....

Jack Warr is a young DC with the Metropolitan Police. Charming but aimless, Jack can't seem to find his place in the world - until he's drawn into an investigation that turns his life upside down.

In the aftermath of a fire at a derelict cottage, a badly charred body is discovered, along with the burnt remnants of millions of stolen, untraceable bank notes - the hidden legacy of Dolly Rawlins and her gang of Widows.

Jack's assignment to the case coincides with an investigation into his own past. As he searches for the truth about his identity, Jack finds himself increasingly drawn into a murky underworld of corruption and crime. Those millions have not been forgotten - and Jack will stop at nothing to find the truth.

An exciting and action packed new thriller, with roots in La Plante's best-selling novels, Widows, Widows' Revenge and She's Out.

If you have not read all of the ‘widows’ collection then you may struggle with this sort. I was an avid fan of them all and this is a fabulous up to date closure to them. Brilliant

I have listened to many books on audible over the years and I can honestly say this was amongst the best. Very highly recommended. Can’t wait to listen to the next book in this series. Lynda la Plant won’t be able to write them fast enough for me, go for it, you won’t regret the listen.

Loved this book

This was the first story that I listened to from the famous author. Lynda La Plante .The narration from Alex Hassell and Annie Aldington is in a word Superb, I just hope that this becomes the start of a series.

Superb!

Likeable characters, great story line, good narration; what's not to like?
Kept me interested til the end. Full of emotional highs and lows. Easy to listen to. Kept me coming back for more.

Loved it!

Just had no mystery to the story or real drama very long winded and lacking a punch

not one of her best
