Hidden by London’s wealth, energy and need for cheap labour, the city’s immigrant population is powerless, despised and often illegal. So when a young woman’s body is discovered on Hampstead Heath one cold morning, she could be anyone...Rich or poor, outsider or insider, five strangers are connected in undreamed-of ways as greed, courage, murder and kindness link their lives. Polly Noble, a human rights lawyer and single mother, knows more than most how easily people fall into the abyss of London’s underworld.

I almost didn't bother with this book, I'd started reading it on my kindle and found some of the content so disturbing that I didn't want to carry on, but I did what I always do if I think something might be worth a second go and I downloaded the audio version.

How fortunate for me!

The book is a triumph and the performance that Sian Thomas gives us is incredible.
There are so many different characters in this book and Sian manages to give each of them their own voice, perfectly. It's read in a beautifully, unhurried way and I really enjoyed this book, although it does highlight just how awful humans often are to one another.
It's well written, well rounded and totally believable.
Do yourself a favour and listen to it.

An Incredibly Written, Thought Provoking Book!

I couldn't stop listening – Sian Thomas's performance is amazing. She has such a lovely voice and the story was very compelling too. An eye opener of a tale. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you.
