Such AMAZING stories of female mafia queens
They are big drug peddler / prostitution ring leaders, but these stories don't portray them as heroes. Instead, it provides their back stories and provides us with a human side to their otherwise notorious nature. Kalki shines as a narrator with her smooth voice and Radhika shows us that her emotions are well portrayed through voice. Well worth the time spent!

Excellent Exhilarating and Entertaining!!
The book just wows the reader / listener. This is my introduction book from Mr. Zaidi. His simple story telling style mixed with realism makes this book a quick read. The female characters are strong willed and unapologetic, for their time they are much more open minded and forward thinking than the rest. The narrators also add a lot to the book’s overall experience. It’s a must read for someone who what’s to be a crime reporter, or enjoy crime genre movies or shows.

Very good narrative with calmness in voice which made the listening very easy. A book and storyline which will dumbfound you with the hidden world of underworld and the roles and status enjoyed by the Queen's. This shows how much we don't know and what all goes under our nose. The descriptions are very exciting and scary.

Lost in Narration
A great audio book is when you forget its being narrated and definitely forget everything about the narrator. Unfortunately this isn’t one of them. A great book ruined by poor narration. I thought the book itself is great with well researched stories. However the narration is so poor that it’s completely ruined the book. Half eaten words, poor expressions and generally lack lustre. I really really wish this book had better narrators or even just one good one
