About this listen

Keep your secrets. Tell your lies. The gripping new psychological thriller from the author of the bestselling The One Who Got Away.

An old castle ...

For more than 150 years, a grand house known as Alden Castle has stood proudly in the rolling hills of California's wine country, home to a family weighed down by secrets and debt.

A fresh body ...

When the castle is sold, billionaire developers move in, only to discover one skeleton after another—including a fresh corpse—rotting in the old family cemetery.

An unsolved mystery ...

As three generations of the well-respected Alden-Stowe family come under scrutiny, police unearth a twisted web of rivalries, alliances, deceit, and treachery.

A gold-digger wife, a demented patriarch, a daughter in the grip of first love ... Who has lied? Who will survive? And who, amidst all the horror and betrayal, is the lucky one?

Critic reviews

"The Lucky One will leave you breathlessly turning every page to find out just whodunnit. It's a brilliant novel, and you'll struggle to put it down just until you know who the lucky one is." (Better Reading)

Some people have said the narration is a bit 'whiney'. I agree it is a bit, but not enough to spoil the story. The characterisation is the usual high standard of a Caroline Overington novel and that's what carries the reader through. I think part 2 could have been edited down, but
overall, I really enjoyed the story and the last 2 parts I found particularly gripping.

Great twist at the end!

So disappointed in this book, I couldn’t get half way. Annoying characters and voices. An Australian narrating an American story qnd nothing really happening. Shame as I’ve loved every single other book by the author. I wasted a credit on this.

Terrible

A bit too predictable story for my liking. narrator was ok but a bit drooly in accent. Again this is a personal preference and I'm sure many would enjoy this story. Allison x
