Summary

Accused of murder. On the run. Who can you trust? Brimming with suspense, The Winner is a rollercoaster thriller from the bestselling author of The 6:20 Man, David Baldacci.

LuAnn Tyler is a single parent striving to escape a life of endless poverty. Then a mysterious Mr Jackson makes her an offer he thinks no one can refuse: a guarantee to be the winner of the $100 million lottery. But LuAnn won't do it.

Less than twenty-four hours later, she is fighting for her life and running from a false murder charge. Jackson's offer – and its condition that she leave the country forever – seems her only hope.

Ten years later, LuAnn secretly returns to the United States to begin a new life with Matthew Riggs, a man whose origins are as murky as her own. But a canny reporter has picked up her trail, as have the FBI – and Jackson. Matt Riggs is the only person who can help her. But is help what Matt intends? Or is he too closing in for the kill?

I read this story in paperback about 6 years ago on holiday. It is a good holiday story.
I couldn’t remember the full story or the ending but had enjoyed reading it so decided to get it in Audio as I rarely read now since discovering audio books.
It’s fast paste and exciting but a little dated and the ending is very far fetched.
It’s the only story that I’ve enjoyed the book version best but the only reason for this is the narration it was shockingly terrible. My husband had also read the book version then listened to this and he thought the same.

Whilst I enjoyed this story overall, it really felt like the narrator was reading it for the first time - particularly annoying was the tendency to emphasise the wrong parts of sentences. Shame - otherwise, a very well written story.

Good story, so-so narration

Great thriller; whenever I felt the end could only be a few pages away, Baldacci would serve another ace twister. I thought this really was a cut above most thrillers and will seek out some more by David Baldacci.

A cut above ...

This is quite an exciting story if somewhat unrealistic and one of the characters 'quick change' abilities are implausible. All that aside it is an entertaining and enjoyable listen.

Very entertaining
