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…

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!

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

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,

More Fantastic Sweetpea

As all others in this series, I absolutely loved this. Its such good writing, characters and Story. Can't wait for the last one - and hope with everything I have that it won't really be the last!

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!!
