Publisher's Summary:
The best things in life are never free.
Cain Moran wanted Jenny Riley more than he had ever wanted anyone or anything before in his life. But loving Jenny Riley was the easy part; it was telling his wife he wanted a divorce that was going to be the killer....
Jenny is not just any girl. She cares nothing for Cain's hard-man reputation - she just wants to be with him. But Cain is not a free man. And he's about to find out that when his wife Caroline said 'til death us do part, she meant it.
When Cain is sentenced to life in prison it seems that Caroline might have got her wish. All Cain and Jenny know is that if their love can survive such separation, then one day they will have a chance at the good life together again.
But there are greater trials ahead than either can foresee. They're about to learn the hardest lesson of all: live the good life. Pay the price.

Absolute rubbish!
What would have made The Good Life better?
Not writing it!
What could Martina Cole have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Cut the swearing to the bone. Make the character more believable
Would you listen to another book narrated by Annie Aldington?
No
What character would you cut from The Good Life?
All of them
Any additional comments?
I thought this would be a good crime book but it turned out to be an exercise into how many times I would hear the word c..t etc. Characters are extreme - from saintliness to absolute brutality, completely unbelievable
disappointing at every page
predictable story line that went on and on.....I wouldn't recommend to anyone. narrator fine - my issue was with the overall story plot.
Not one of her best
no depth to the story. the narrative was absolutely awful. She made all the characters sound old. It took away from the already poor story. I'm just glad I didn't pay for it.
First Time Martina Cole Listener And The Last
What disappointed you about The Good Life?
I just didn't care about any of the characters,
What could Martina Cole have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
I found it a bit repetitive, one of the reviewers mentioned Groundhog Day, I think that was a good description. Not sure what she could do to make it more enjoyable, more depth to the characters, so I cared more about them.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
I liked the narrator, I think she did an excellent job.
You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Not really
Disappointing
What did you like best about The Good Life? What did you like least?
I really wanted to like this book as I had heard so much about it. However, it took some time to get used to the writing style and although I know it is about gangland crime I found the swearing to be totally excessive. Every second word was peppered with an 'F' this and 'C' that. Having said that, Martina Cole is a highly entertaining author and her books bring you on quite a journey. This is the second book I have read by Martina Cole, because I wanted to give her writing another chance, however it will be the last. Perhaps that's down to my own personal taste as there is a huge market for this sort of writing in the UK.
