My first read by Lee Wood and it won't be the last. I really enjoyed the two completely different stories told throughout the book, and the realism of the characters makes this a great read- I thought the characters literally could be talking and living in the room next door!
I also appreciated that, as a thriller, it wasn't too bloody, too much sex, or too violent like some other series I have tried. It has a thriller aspect with being a safer read (in my opinion, some thrillers don't tell a story as much as shocking you). Can't wait to read more in the series!

Mr. Lucky is Book One in the Trentbridge Tales Series. It is a fast-paced, British Crime Thriller that centers around the character of former Detective James Sheldon. James is no longer a Detective and luck really has not been on his side at all. James has not only lost his career, but he has also lost his family, is homeless, and has sunken into self-despair. When he suddenly wins a substantial amount of money in the lottery things should look up for him. Instead, James’ life takes a turn for the worse as he is in a battle to survive against numerous people who suddenly seem to have it out for him. Will he be able to outrun, outwit, outfox, and out maneuver the savory characters intent on destroying him?
This was a well written book with a compelling storyline and interesting characters. James was down-on-his-luck with no hope for a bright future. He had sunken into self-loathing and despair until winning the lottery. Coming into millions of dollars should have instantly improved his life but as luck would have it, life got infinitely worse. James had to pull himself together and dig down deep for the strength to save his life from those after him. This was a fast paced, edge of your seat, intense psychological thrill ride that will rivet you and have you reading until the end. I highly recommend this book!
