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.

A must

I enjoyed the story, the narrator was brilliant and really brought you into the story. I think Mrs Calvey is so good at this kind of book because she lived in the underworld, seen it, done it and literally wrote the book.

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
