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

Another cliffhanger!

Helen Fields series really goes from strength to strength. With each book, there’s character development of the central characters and although this works very well as a stand alone, there’s a section that helps DI Callanach better understand past personal events. His relationship with DCI Ava Turner has stalled but is further explored. So in addition to outstanding character development, there’s a fast paced plot in a race against time to find a serial bomber who’s targeting individuals. The body count mounts and there’s little progress.

Fields writing is assured and convincing and I devoured this audio title in a couple of sittings. And the cliffhanger at the end keft me breathless, truly. Miss this at your peril!

This is definitely the best book I’ve listened to for a while! I was totally hooked after binging on the one after another. Please please hurry up with the next!

Another great listen

I love this series, particularly in its Audible form as the narration is so very good. I find the characters extremely engaging from
Luc Callanach to Lively and am invested in them - a rare feeling! I shall be very sad if this is the last in the series. We were left with a cliff hanger which I would like to be resolved. I feel there are more books to be written in this series.

Heart wrenching

I was absolutely floored after reading this, quite different to the other books in the series in my opinion. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy it, I definitely did and couldn’t stop listening but I needed to take a break and heal my heart with some light hearted content for a long while after this book!!

Nooooo...

How can you just leave us hanging like this at the end!!! Can't wait for the next book in the series, but this one was the best so far.
Excellent story and narration.

A enthralling read! Best in the series

I have enjoyed all of the Luc Callanach and Ava Turner books, but this one in in a completely different league! A compelling listen, that I couldn’t put down. So pleased I found this series, and consider Helen Fields to be a gifted and skilled author. Really hoping that there will be an another in the series, I would be sad not to be able to listen to a follow up to this book. The narration was once again out of the park! A highly recommended novel.
