One in Four by Lucinda Berry @lucindaberryauthor @saskiaaudio @brittpressley @tessa_albertson @brilliancepublishing #OneInFour

Jonetta | Blue Mood Café


the setup…
Dr. Laurel Harlow has signed on as the therapist for a reality TV show where all the participants are former child stars. They’ve struggled with addiction and Laurel’s experience as a chemical dependency counselor is a great fit. But when one the participants suspiciously dies on camera, she soon becomes the focus of the police investigation.

the heart of the story…
Laurel’s approach to substance dependency is a bit different as she doesn’t agree with some of the AA approaches. She also had an alcohol dependency herself and has lived their reality. At the beginning, I felt like I was dropped in the middle of the story and struggled to find my way until things evened out. It soon becomes clear that she’s being set up as the fall guy for the death and when this takes a turn, it gets a bit diabolical.

the narration…
Saskia Maarleveld and Brittany Pressley are two favorites and were great here. Tessa Albertson is a new voice for me and made her character sympathetic and believable. I enjoyed the collective performances.

the bottom line…
There’s a then/now timeline with the narrator of “then” unidentified until nearly the end, which added some mystery and intrigue. That twisty turn had me in knots through the end. All I have to say is I want/need a sequel!!! Yes, I can use my imagination but I don’t want to.

  6. Great review, Jo. I’m not a fan of reality shows, nor child stars who are addicted, so although this sounds like an interesting story, I think I might get frustrated with it.
