Mr Lucky

Gripping British Crime Thriller (Trentbridge Tales Book 1)

De: Lee Wood

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Perfect for readers who crave razor-sharp suspense packed with twists, turns, and an unforgettable hero. It builds from a slow burn but quickly develops into a fast-paced edge-of-your-seat thriller that will keep you guessing until the final page.

Detective James Sheldon had it all—a loving family and a solid career—but when tragedy strikes, his life spirals into a dark abyss, leaving him homeless. Just as he hits rock bottom, an astonishing £168 million Lotto win seems like his salvation. But money can’t buy safety, and soon, James finds himself facing threats far deadlier than his own demons.

With danger lurking around every corner, every time James thinks he’s seen the worst, a new nightmare begins. As he fights to pull himself back from the edge, he’s forced to confront his darkest fears and rediscover his strength—or risk losing everything again.

Will he survive the greatest challenge of his life, or will his victory turn into his ultimate downfall?

The first book in a gripping crime thriller series. Each book can be read as a standalone, (no cliffhangers at the end of the books), although some characters will appear as the series continues.

What Readers Say About Mr Lucky
--This was a fabulous book! Having been homeless myself, the storyline really resonated with me. The protagonist and the antagonist had actually crossed paths several times. The theme of irony is prevalent throughout the story. I made it to the very end of the book before realising I had read the first in a series of what I am sure are several more amazing tales. I am elated- and I know what I am reading next!
--“Once you start reading, you won’t want to stop until you finish. It’s got a strong narrative drive as we learn how the paths of a homeless man and a major drug dealer cross thanks to a £100M lottery win.
--"The characters are well-drawn and believable.”
--“Most of us have fantasised at some point in our life about what we would do if we won a lottery. Lee Wood provides us with a surprising yet believable scenario set in suburban UK and featuring contemporary social issues including drugs, prostitution, corruption, homelessness and the plight of the working class.”

If you enjoy beautifully crafted British Crime by authors such as Adam Croft, Alex Smith, JD Kirk, Rachel McLean and Joy Ellis, in that case, you’ll love this series set in the fictional town of Trentbridge, a cross between Cambridge and Stoke-On-Trent

Narration

The virtual voice narration was just horrible! I won’t be listening to that again for sure.
