Publisher's Summary

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.

3.75 stars rounded up

It’s not the reader’s fault, but there is no mention of the POV at the start of each chapter so you have to spend the first little while figuring the POV out for yourself. It too away from the flow of the story.

Predictable

It started off as being a story that was not going to be the same old same old. But alas, it became just that. The police here are not brilliant - just stumble from one crisis to the next. The plot "twist" was entirely predictable. I did not enjoy this.

Great Performance, believable characters and story

The story was great, nothing too unbelievable so it kept me engaged and interested. The narration by Simon Mattacks is fantastic, his range of accents is outstanding.....which really brought life to the narrated story.
