DESCRIPTION:
They won their dream home. It’s about to become a nightmare…
When Merri and Dev buy a ticket on the last day of a national draw to win the house of their dreams, they never, in a million years, expect to win.
Less than a week later, they’re receiving the keys to their new Lake District mansion.
For Dev, it’s a dream come true – no more stressful rent negotiations or waiting for the landlord to finally fix the damp. Of course he’s delighted to be interviewed about their good luck.
But Merri feels a little uneasy. Dev doesn’t realise there’s a reason she’s never wanted to put down roots, always trying to run away from the memories of what happened the day her little sister died.
At first, it’s easy to think she’s imagining the shadowy figures in the lakefront garden. It’s silly to think that someone is watching her through the gorgeous floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
And then a body is found in the lake. And Merri’s new perfect life is about to come crashing down…
A completely addictive and unputdownable thriller from the number 1 ebook bestselling author K.L. Slater. The Lucky Winnerswill have you hooked! Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Freida McFadden.

MY THOUGHTS:
When Dev buys a lottery ticket for his wife Merri as an anniversary gift, she’s not too thrilled. They barely make ends meet, and she feels he’s squandering their money. Imagine their surprise when that lottery ticket turns out to be a winner—a dream house in the Lake District! Will this grand house, which they’d never own otherwise, finally end their problems and stress, or will it soon bring new problems and complications?
As the story unfolds, multiple perspectives are introduced. Merri’s is just one of them. It becomes evident that there’s a valid reason for concern now that she’s gaining public recognition due to their win. Merri harbors a past that she’s desperately trying to keep hidden. However, this is in stark contrast to the viewpoint of “the watcher.” This enigmatic figure lurks in the background, fuming and plotting. They’re intimately familiar with Merri and the past she’s trying to conceal, and they’re determined to seek revenge for that past.
K. L. Slater, has always written crafting captivating psychological thrillers, and delivers another gem with The Lucky Winners. This book is a page-turner that keeps readers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end.
Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
