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.

‘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

‘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

Best yet.

Well worth the wait between books. Gripping tale pieced together perfectly. While listening marveled at how good the story is. Great narrator Robin Laing loved the accents.

Riveting.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and couldn’t stop listening. Good twists and turns. Thought I’d nailed the culprit a couple of times but not quite. Characters you really get to know well. It’s an emotional ride with a great cliff hanger. Hurry up with the next one please.

Harrowing…but so good.

In One for Sorrow Helen Fields takes readers on an emotional roller coaster with intrigue at every twist and turn! I was so invested in the characters that i didn’t want it to end, then when it did I was desperate to know how soon I could get hold of the next installment! Loved the narrator too.

Possibly the best audio book I’ve listened to.

I listened compulsively to a story almost too painful to bear witness to at times, but with equal parts a thrilling ride.
A story of humanity, love, loss, the best and worst of us and how our worlds are shaped.
I’ve read all of the previous books and loved each one of them, enjoying how the characters have been developed become real and loved.
Well done
