Mr Lucky

Gripping British Crime Thriller (Trentbridge Tales Book 1)

De: Lee Wood

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

He lost his career. He lost his family. He lost his home. Then he won £168 million. That’s when his real problems began.

Once a decorated detective, James Sheldon is now a ghost on the streets, haunted by a tragedy that shattered his life. When a forgotten lottery ticket delivers a staggering fortune, it feels like a lifeline. But in the gritty underworld, a prize like that doesn’t buy salvation—it paints a target on your back.

Suddenly, James is hunted by shadowy figures with motives far deadlier than simple greed. The money that was supposed to be his fresh start becomes a magnet for the city’s most dangerous criminals, dragging him into a world of corruption and violence he thought he’d left behind.

To survive, he must resurrect the sharp, relentless detective he used to be. But as he fights to reclaim his life, he’ll discover that his victory may be his ultimate downfall.

Perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, Adam Croft, Alex Smith, JD Kirk, and Joy Ellis, this is a fast-paced British crime thriller that grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let you go.

If you love a hero with a haunted past, a mystery packed with twists, and a story you won’t be able to put down, you’ve found your next read. This is the first book in a series, where each book can be read as a standalone, although some characters return in later books, so that you can catch up with your favourite heroes and villains.

Narration

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