Summary
The more she wins, the more she loses…
Someone is watching Etta. Footsteps in the night, the security light coming on at strange hours … is it all just her curtain-twitching neighbours, who seem to monitor her every move? Or is her little online problem making her paranoid?
Because Etta needs to win big. She joined a gambling website to get a bit of cash, hoping to convince her boyfriend Ola that they can afford to get married. And she was so good at it … until she wasn’t. Luckily, she’s made a friend who hit the jackpot and if she plays her cards right, he could lend her the money to win everything back. Easy. So why does she feel so afraid?
Critic reviews
"A compelling, warm and clever read. Betrayal, blackmail, a marriage on hold, Lucky has all the ingredients of a page-turning thriller or a top-notch noir crime novel and yet Edwards is also writing towards conversations about race and everyday social injustice too. Read Lucky because it embraces the concerns of our everyday humanity in a post-Brexit, post-pandemic world of debt and insecurity. Her protagonist Etta, is driven by the forces of a world on the edge." (Monique Roffey, author of The Mermaid of Black Conch)
"A fresh, exhilarating voice." (Adele Parks)
"Unbelievably tense and twisty." (Laura Marshall, author of Friend Request)
"I devoured it." (Erin Kelly, author of He Said/She Said)
"Absorbing, unsettling, unflinching. I’ve been thinking about it for days and I’ll be recommending it to everyone." (Caz Frear, author of Sweet Little Lies)
