Summary

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…

Brilliant

I’m so sad that this is the last one but it was fantastic, as always. The best series of books I’ve ever listened to and the narrator was perfect! I just wish tv adaptation had been closer to the books,

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

Sad to see her go

The narrator for this series is perfect! I love this Sweetpea. I wish the powers that be had been closer to the novels rather than the dishwasher tv version of Sweetpea currently showing. Real Sweetpea would not approve.

She’s back!

Unusual for a fourth installment of a seris to be as good as the rest but this is! Fantastic as always, I’d also join the bad seeds!

After watching the TV show was intrigued to find out was based on book and then to my absolute delight it was a 5 book collection the Books are so much better than the adaptation, they are fabulously dark , brilliantly narrated loved every minute
