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.

After reading a different book of Mark's, I decided to try another. Thoroughly enjoyed it. a nice easy listen and easy story to follow. I wasn't able to guess what would happen next either!

Definitely recommended
This is the third book by this author that I’ve listened to & it was definitely the best so far! Fantastic book that had me gripped from the beginning! I was listening at every opportunity.
The narration was great & made the book all the more enjoyable to listen to.
Definitely recommend this book & more by Mark Edwards.

Mediocre
Really average, pretty far fetched and not well written enough to enable the listener to suspend belief.
The narration was not as good enough to save it, as sometimes that makes all the difference.
Alright on a deal, but not worth a credit

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!

Excellent thriller
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!
