Publisher's summary

It's not that Janey Sinclair isn't pleased to see her sister.

It's just that being woken at 7:00 a.m. by Maxine, complete with a police escort, isn't quite how she'd planned to spend her Sunday. Even so Janey, who's just rebuilding her life after her husband disappeared, is delighted that her sister's back in the Cornish town where they grew up.

When Maxine sets her sights on Guy Cassidy, an impossibly glamorous fashion photographer, Janey knows there's no limit to the mischief her sister will get up to in order to dispatch her rivals.

But little do they know that the competition is a lot closer to home than they think...

The Narration is painful

I do like to listen to Jill Mansell books, but this one sadly is painful to listen to. It's narration is halting & stilted, especially when it's a male character. I'm never quite sure if the character is not from England, or Scotland or Ireland or possibly Australia at times. I'm trying to make it through the book, but not sure if I can.

Great story, stilted reading

I loved the story but the performance was stilted and hard to get into, not the best I've heard!

New reader - PLEASE!!

Really enjoy Jill Mansell’s books but was so frustrated and disappointed with this one totally because of the reader. Her robotic style, over enunciation of each word and poor delivery style made it nearly impossible to finish the book. My enjoyment of Mansell’s books was the ONLY reason I stuck it out until the end. In the future, I will make a point to skip other books read by Charlotte Anne Dore.

BAD Narration

I have listened to dozens of audiobooks but this was honestly the least successful reading I have heard. I had to stop and buy the book to read it cause I could not listen anymore.

Hard to read...worse to listen!

I usually love Jill Mansell. It was hard to find the story. The narrative was painful to listen to.

Narrator ruins this book - someone should tell Jill Mansell

As a huge fan of Ms Mandell’s books this narrator destroys it. I actually had to put the speed to 1.25x in order to listen at all. This book should be taken off audible and redone immediately.
