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.

The book can be read as a standalone, although some characters will appear as the series continues.
