One of Our Own

An Audio Original Thriller

By: Lucinda Berry

Narrated by: A.J. Cook, 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.

Exceptional amazing read!

And Lucinda Berry delivers again with this audiobook thriller. Just wow.
One of our own starts off with Felicia who’s a single mum and lawyer. She volunteers her nights for a local crisis center when she receives a troubled call from
a teenage girl who has been through SA at a party.
And the story unfolds in this immensely tense setting where Felicia goes beyond to help the girl.

I devoured this book cause the narration was chefs kiss! I loved the way this book was delivered where you can feel the respective characters’ feelings (helplessness, anguish, pain, calmness and the sense of urgency).

I love how Lucinda Berry always brings us through an emotional roller coaster where she puts us in a moral dilemma situation of what would you do. The way she questioned what is right and wrong while reading the book has me on a chokehold.

My only problem is that this book is less than 4 hours 🫢

A heart wrenchingly painful book with a satisfying ending.

Gripping story with Amazing Narration!!!

OMG! This was an emotional story and I kept hearing JJ the entire time as I love Criminal Minds! Awesome choice! This was an emotional roller coaster of emotions especially as a mom! I don't normally do audio books but Lucinda did it again! Always wrecking me but making me come back for more! Highly recommended this one even if your not an audio book reader!

Deception

Absolutely loved the book. Beautifully written and told by the best in the business. Also a pleasure reading and listening to her books

I wish A.J. Cook did more audiobooks.

Great story, but the chapters are mis marked. When A.J. says chapter 7, it reads on the chapter list as Chapter 8.

All the feels

This was a gut wrenching story but.. predictable. This was my first Lucinda Berry. Can’t wait to read more from her

Heart wrenching

This was such a captivating story with so many terrifying moments and heartbreaking subjects. Lucinda Berry did it again.

Hooked from the moment I started!

Couldn’t turn it off. It made me late several times because I could not get out of the car until I finished the chapter.

good first audiobook

very predictable but I did enjoy it! my first audio book that I've actually liked.

Berry did it again!

I have yet to read a single Lucinda Berry book that didn’t leave me completely speechless! 10/10 recommend!
