Publisher's Summary

A suicide prevention hotline volunteer answers a call that turns her world upside down in this edge-of-your-seat audio original thriller by the bestselling author of The Perfect Child and The Best of Friends, performed by A.J. Cook (Criminal Minds) and Tessa Albertson (Younger).

Felicia, a single mother and lawyer by day, volunteers at a local crisis center to give back to her tightknit community in a small Wisconsin town. One night, she answers a horrifying call: through tears, a frantic teenage girl tells her that she was a victim of sexual assault at a local house party.

Felicia is shocked, and breaking protocol, she begins communicating with the girl on her own, determined to keep her safe and hold her assailants accountable. But as she gets closer and closer to the truth, she can’t shake the feeling that she and the girl are connected by more than the phone call. As the girl shares more details, Felicia begins to think the unthinkable—someone close to her may be involved in this heinous crime.

As Felicia earns the girl’s trust and more facts emerge about the incident, she faces a gut-wrenching battle between her protective instincts and the moral responsibility to do what’s right. This taut thriller is the perfect listen for fans of The Push, Wrong Place Wrong Time, and We Need to Talk About Kevin.

What the critics say

"Can't recommend this highly enough. Smart, genuinely moving, and utterly gripping from the very first scene." (Dervla McTiernan, internationally bestselling author of The Ruin and What Happened to Nina?)

One of Our Own is fast-paced, gripping, and written with heart. It hooked me from the first chapter and didn’t let me hit pause until the edge-of-your-seat ending.” (Clémence Michallon, internationally bestselling author of The Quiet Tenant)

"A dark and chilling look behind the scenes of a suicide prevention hotline and a single mother whose best intentions lead her down a dangerous path. Hypnotic and haunting, with a powerhouse performance and a cast of twisted characters Berry’s fans will adore, One of Our Own is a live-wire of a thriller—and every parent’s worst nightmare. 100% bingeworthy." (Kimberly Belle, internationally bestselling author of The Paris Widow)

Amazingly narrated

The way it plays like a movie is so entertaining however the story itself is very predictable. I saw the ending coming within 3 chapters

Amazing plot and narration

Excellent narration which made the story so compelling to the very end. Too bad it was so short. Would definitely recommend.

Lucinda Berry has a way of writing that makes me feel like I’m part of the story.

gut wrenching

One of Our Own was a deep story. I knew what I was getting into upon purchasing the audible book due to seeing a recent review reel from someone on instagram. If I read this as a book rather than listened to it, I feel it definitely wouldn't have made me like it as much. You needed the interaction between the main character and the victim in order to really feel the emotions, somethings words couldn't have portrayed as accurately. Please research the trigger warnings before listening to this book as it touches on major issues and situations in which many have trouble stomaching. Overall the story was captivating but extremely predictable. I originally was going to rate this a three star, but I felt as though AJ Cook and Tessa Anderson did a phenomenal job. The story seemed right up AJ's alley, as a former actress in Criminal Minds and all.

Excellent

This book was SO good!!!!
I was so immersed into this story within the very first few minutes. Lucinda Berry managed to tell an incredible story from beginning to end in just over 3 hours.
I was hesitant on spending a credit for such a short book but I am so happy I did! I wish all books were told in this spectacular way.

way too short

This was a great read.. but it felt like half the story was missing. It was WAY too short. And also felt like being ripped off spending a credit on a 3-4 hour novel. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. Not worth it.
