About this listen

I might be a grandmother. But I’m not some sweet, harmless old lady who people can push around.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince.

They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by.

I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Now he wants his daughters back.

Over my dead body.

I finally have a family of my own. And nobody is going to take it away from me.

A psychological thriller to die for!

Oh, my! What a deliciously devious story – captivating “The Grandmother.” This talented trio weaves a complex web of intricate twists and turns, keeping me on the edge of my seat. Author Jane E. James and narrators Anna Cordell and Max Dinnen prove to be a talented trio. The characters are delightfully bizarre, and the subplots are expertly crafted, requiring my full attention. I found myself completely audicted, with no room for multitasking. The ending left me craving more, and I’m eagerly hoping for a sequel. Perhaps it's just me, but I couldn't get enough of this thrilling tale. If you’re a fan of transfixing and bewildering British listens, do yourself a favor and grab this elaborate listen now! Epic, I say!

Wait, what?!

The book was entertaining and captured me rather early. The ending was totally unexpected and narrators did a great job.

Underdevelop Ending

The ending, while intriguing, felt unexpectedly rushed and unfortunately underdeveloped, leaving much to be desired.

Master of Unreliable Narration

This book contains the epitome of unreliable narrators. The twists and turns are many. I did want to know how it came out.

Good story bad language

Performance was good story plot was good. Language is a bit over the top foul did not really make the characters better. Language was a bit over the top distasteful mid story. I think that took away from things. It was also hard to take how stupid one of the main characters was.
