Story
Tech millionaire Miles Cookson has more money than he can ever spend and everything he could dream of - except time. He has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and there is a 50 percent chance that it can be passed on to the next generation. For Miles, this means taking a long hard look at his past. Two decades ago, a young, struggling Miles was a sperm donor. Somewhere out there, he has kids - nine of them. And they might be about to inherit both the good and the bad from him - maybe his fortune, or maybe something much worse.

A pleasant change
I enjoyed this book as I have never read a book where the lottery was won and how it affected everyone. We all dream about what we would do if we won the lottery but the reality is different (at least it is in this book).
I pretty much figured out the mystery part but there was a twist or 2 thrown in that kept it interesting.
I have never read a book by Adele Parks and will definitely try another title. I enjoyed the narrators as well.

Interesting with a great twist
Loved listening until the last 1/4. The main character's 'stand by your man's' approach conflicts with her supposed intelligence and zeal for fairness. Liked her except for that as her husband was a total cad and a-h&*%.. Nothing likable about him so it was a contradiction.
Overall, great story that makes you think about 'what would you do it you won'' and great narration. n

Not really a thriller/mystery
The characters are all unlikeable, Jake is unbearable! Calling it a mystery/thriller is incredibly misleading. It’s literally just about a lottery win until there’s only 3.5 hours left. There’s a couple little surprises in the final hours… but they’re not at all surprising. There is one at the very end that’s surprising, but irrelevant when you finally learn it.
Also the Toma story-line, and the bathroom scene…. Why??? It was a lot of filler.
I would absolutely listen to this narrator again. I also liked the writing, the story was just very boring.

Boring and predictable
This is not a book I would recommend at all. The story is quite boring with minimally developed characters and the story line totally predictable. Even the supposed major plot twist at the end I one big yawn. The narration is well done however and was the only reason I was able to painfully make it to the end of this story.

Disappointed with the ending
There were multiple parts to the story- which I liked, sometimes a bit too much detail with the lottery spending, as in, details that dragged on and didn't didn't to the story in importance. The ending though/ the last chapter explaining any twists seemed short, like the author was just tired of writing the story. It lacked explanation and was disappointing. Still worth the read though.

Another knockout from Adele Parks!
This twisty, darkly satisfying tale kept me right til the end. If you’ve ever wondered how life would unfurl after a big lottery win - or if you’ve ever wondered how greed can propel ordinary people to do awful things - you’ll eat up this book. Loved it.

Unbearable
All of the characters, including the protagonist, were unbearable. But Jake was the absolute *worst*. I could not take him or Emily's disgusting attitudes. I only finished it to see if Jake got what was coming to him. SO glad to be finishes this irritating story.
