About this listen

Liked the Sweetpea TV series on Sky Atlantic

You'll love the books…

‘This isn’t a book for the squeamish or the faint-hearted … think Bridget Jones meets American PsychoRed

Sweetpea is coming home at last…

Newly married, with a loving family surrounding her, everything's coming up roses for ex-serial killer Rhiannon Lewis, right?

Wrong.

Her husband has just been shot, and the daughter she left behind in the UK is desperately ill. She’s got no choice but to flee the States and return home, back to her roots, where she’s in danger of being recognised and arrested at any moment.

Only nothing is quite as it seems…

With a series of bad choices in front of her, and the authorities right behind, Rhiannon's in a hell of a hole and she needs to dig herself out of it pronto. But help can come from the most unlikely places. And even more unlikely people…

Never disappointed

Easily one of my favourite book series. Cleverly written, impeccably narrated, I usually finish a book in a day or two! Shame they had to go and botch the TV series up

My favourite series and a great narrator

The final in the series and I’m going to miss Sweetpea! Fantastic book and fantastic narration. The characters and accents are spot on and I had to try really hard to remember it was all the same person speaking which is fab!!

Best series ever!

Oh wow! I could not stop listening. Really excited there’s now a TV series too… I listened to books 1 & 2 ages ago and only found 3 & 4 by accident. Literally devoured these in just a few days. Exciting storyline, fantastic characters, love, drama, horror etc etc etc. everything really.

Stonking story.

what can I say, excellent narration (again), Brilliant story. I have to say you must listen to the other books in the series to appreciate this or you'll get lost. Absolutely love Sweetpea and she didn't disappoint in this installment.

Brilliantly written and narrated

An excellent set of books from CK Skuse, soooo much better than the recent tv series, listen to the first (or instead) and you won’t be disappointed!

Rhiannon for the final time !

Really enjoyed this final outing for Rhiannon. Kept in pacing with the other books in the story, had soke great characters too. Wrapped it all up nicely at the end. I will miss these books ! Really good narration too, but if you've already listened to the other books then you knew that!
