About this listen

It was the happiest day of her life. Little did she know it was also the last.

When a woman's body is found in the grounds of a ruined priory, Detective Imogen Evans realises she is dealing with a serial killer - a killer whose victims appear to die in a state of bliss, eyes open, smiles forever frozen on their faces.

A few miles away, single dad Ben Hofland believes his fortunes are changing at last. Forced to move back to the sleepy village where he grew up following the breakdown of his marriage, Ben finally finds work. What's more, the bullies who have been terrorising his son, Ollie, disappear. For the first time in months, Ben feels lucky.

But he is unaware that someone is watching him and Ollie. Someone who wants nothing but happiness for Ben.

Happiness...and death.

The Lucky Ones is the terrifying new thriller from the #1 bestselling author of Follow You Home.

I enjoyed the story, kept me interested, the only thing that let it down was the use of the words 'cops'... we're not bloody american!

Loved it

Having previously read this book I decided to listen to the audio version this time. This is a clever crime/serial killer/psychological thriller set in Shropshire. It is seriously creepy and gave me a few goosebumps as I listened. The cast of characters are well written and mostly likeable, and the setting is idyllic. As with all Mr Edwards books, there are plenty of twists, and the ending leaves room for a sequel though I don't believe Mr Edwards has any plans to write one :-(

Simon Mattack's narration was spot on!

Excellent thriller

Gripped from the start by both the storyline and the narration , then it just built up and up till the absolutely thrilling climax (with its usual surprise Mark Edwards twist)..... and then that little epilogue.... a sequel maybe.

This will be one on my repeat list now.
