About this listen

They grew up with nothing. Just a regular family scraping by, living an honest life while crime ruled the East End. Until all that honesty and all that hard work left them with nothing.

Poor, destitute and hungry, young Ruby decides to pull them from the ashes. It starts as one job, one step outside the law. Yet that one step sets her on a path - straight to the top.

But in the East End you don't build an empire without making a few enemies....

Welcome to the underbelly of London, where criminals run the streets and one woman will do anything to protect her family.

Spectacular performance & story

One of the best lessons I’ve had so far and I have been with Audible for over 12 months now I fancied getting the black widow because I enjoyed this book so much but when I listen to the preview the narrator was lacking and there was no way I could’ve listened to that regardless of how good the story wasgetting back to this book fully recommend

Addictive

I loved this book, found it hard to turn off. I would recommend this book, same intensity as Martina Cole, gripping from start to finish.

A thoroughly good listen.

Brilliant. Listened to it all in a day (a long drive!). Can’t wait to hear about Ruby’s next adventure. Nothing too taxing on the brain, this is a very easy and comfortable listen, not too many characters and read/narrated with perfect timing by JK.
Highly recommend
