Summary

Outcast is the latest gripping gangland crime thriller from Kerry Barnes, perfect for fans of Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers.

After serving eight years inside for armed robbery, Mitchell Swan comes home to find his family in chaos and his violent father-in-law to blame. Within hours, he moves out, taking only his middle son and leaving his other two children, Jordan and Sonny, to be dragged up by their mother.

Growing up in the same street but in reality worlds apart, Eden’s life is vastly different from the Swan brothers. She endures the unimaginable at the hands of Gabriel, her father - a Jehovah’s Witness elder. But no one believes her. Shunned by her community, she must go it alone. But can she survive being an outcast from all she’s ever known? With his beady eyes and deviant mind, Jordan Swan wants Eden for himself, but he goes too far....

Great listen

As always, Kerry Barnes produced a ripping good story with great characters, an intriguing mix of gangster and heart and a satisfying ending. The narrator is superb.

At the start unsure but WOW

I wouldn’t have gone for a gansta thug theme but so glad I did as the story was so well told. Great narrator and the author held my interest throughout.
About to jump straight into another from this author.

Couldn't stop listening

Brilliant book!! Fantastic narration, all characters easily distinguished & so interesting to listen to! Really could relate to how the character was feeling!! I read the reviews, which encouraged me to give the book a go & I wasn't disappointed! If you are easily offended by swearing & descriptions of violence then maybe this isn't the book for you but it's a great book, that is finished perfectly with no questions left unanswered - 1000% recommend!

Definitely needs sexual violence trigger warning!

I much prefer innuendo and suggestion to graphic descriptions of all violence but especially child and sexual abuse. I just do not want those words in my head.
Other than that, it was a decent story. Annie amazing, as always. Story very very far fetched but that gives me comfort in a weird way!
