About this listen

Don’t miss the new, devastatingly good thriller from Helen Fields, The Institution. Out now!

One for sorrow, two for joy
Edinburgh is gripped by the greatest terror it has ever known: a lone bomber is targeting victims across the city, and no one is safe.

Three for a girl, four for a boy
In their jobs, DCI Ava Turner and DI Luc Callanach deal with death every day. But when it becomes clear that every bomb is a trap designed to kill them too, the possibility of facing it themselves starts to feel all too real.

Five for silver, six for gold
With the body count rising daily and the bomber’s methods becoming ever more horrifying, Ava and Luc must race to find out who is behind the attacks – or pay the ultimate price…

Seven for a secret never to be told…

With twists and turns you’ll never see coming, prepare to be gripped by this devastatingly good thriller. Perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride and MJ Arlidge.

Critic reviews

FURTHER PRAISE FOR ONE FOR SORROW:

‘An emotionally charged and superbly gripping thriller that kept me turning those page until the early hours! Masterly plotted, not to be missed.’ Jane Isaac, author of An Unfamiliar Murder

‘Grabs you at page one and holds on like a police dog tackling a suspect. Sometimes shocking, often gruesome, always gripping. Ten for thrills!’ – Douglas Skelton, author of The Blood is Still

‘Dark, intense, explosive’ – Morgan Cry

‘An incredible, heartbreaking, terror-filled, pulse-in-throat thriller. So brilliantly plotted, clever, slick and so, so dark.’ – Bestselling author Cressida McLaughlin

Really enjoyed this

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Great plot and interesting characters but narration spoiled it for me. Why did the narrator make the two female lead characters speak in such annoyingly posh accents? Sounded odd!

Also very Mills and Boon, as another reviewer commented.

Bit otherwise good.

Grim but generally good

Gutted that this is the last in the series, I sincerely hope the author revisits at some point in the future. I found myself holding my breath at times, the story is riveting and well thought out. Still getting my head around the ending!

Rollercoaster
