One of Our Own: An Audio Original Thriller

Written by Lucinda Berry

Narrated by A.J. Cook and Tessa Albertson

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.

Lucinda Berry never disappoints. I knocked this one to the top of my tbr after seeing it on tiktok. A lawyer who volunteers at a suicide hot line takes a call that will change her life forever. How can she help this victim on the phone? Who hurt her? And are they closer than she thinks? It's a very quick audiobook.

I think I suspected right away what the ending would be. I just didn’t think there would be follow through.

This book was very interesting because some of it mirrors the real life instances of people but the outcome isn’t always what we on the outside would want.

Solid book, I was hooked because I needed to know the outcome.

[Alicia Jennings · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was a super fast listen. Only about 3.5 hours? But it was packed full in those 3-4 hours with angst, and suspense. I enjoyed it. Although I will say that I had the ending figured out very very quickly into the book. 3.5 stars… rounded up, ya know.
