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.

A good death

A good death is a wish for many of us but this person takes things into his own hands and makes sure the people he thinks are worthy meet their appointment with a good death early. This book is a suspense book, with a little bit of romance.

Lots of twists and turns

I found this an enjoyable listen with well developed characters and enough tension to keep me engrossed.

In the hands of a lesser writer this could have been a mess but Mark Edwards makes it work.


I look forward to reading more by this author.

Good story

It was good and I liked it but more straight forward than his other books. The twist wasn’t as grand

Evil deeds

Was a little hard to follow at the end.....who was who, I’m sure if I listened to the last hour again I would get more of it. But since I am a home nurse, getting in and out of the car 10 times a day I get distracted. But I enjoy Mark Edwards books. Maybe it lets the evil part of me come out without hurting anyone. Yes. I said I was a nurse. He he he.

not my favorite

a little too much graphic sex and abuse that I don't feel added to the story. it seemed to try to be too twisted, and a good story doesn't need all of that.
