Lucky Break: Gripping British crime thriller (Trentbridge Tales Book) by Lee Wood – 4 out of 5 stars
Lucky Break is the second book in this thrilling series. Although it can be read as a stand-alone I suggest that you read the books in order. The characters develop so much with each book, that you will not want to miss one bit. With twists and turns coming at you from all angles, it will be hard for you to put this book down. All they need is one lucky break… Will they get one?

This was an amazing addition to the series! I am a big fan of the crime and thriller genre, so this was right up my alley. The author has such a way of transitioning through the book that you don’t notice a shift which is incredible. I thought the flow was marvelous! This book will have you on a rollercoaster of guessing what will happen, taking you through twists and turns until you realize you’ll just never be able to guess so you enjoy the ride! I highly recommend picking up the first in the series to get the background, and then continue the thrilling story with this installment. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next!

Another gripping crime thriller in the ‘Trentbridge Tales’ series which kept me hooked throughout. This standalone story follows Peter Winston-Moore who told rival dealers that he had discovered the genuine Picasso in a junk shop which then sold at Sotheby’s for $5.4 million. Peter then goes from being a bit of a wheeler dealer to running an exclusive art and antiquates gallery. Peter’s luck does not seem to end there though, as he keeps finding valuable items which other dealers have overlooked. Three of these dealers then become so curious about him that they follow him with disastrous consequences. Ex police detective James Sheldon is now a private investigator who’s been asked to prove the innocence of the main suspect in a murder which took place at the Albion Hotel. As James digs deeper he discovers that everyone involved has dark secrets that they want to keep. The blurb says that “The Trentbridge Crime series is as much about the location as the characters”, and the settings are definitely brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative and added details, which add to the overall story. The characters are well developed and I felt engaged with them, as well as being fully immersed in the narrative. The storyline and plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story, making this a real page turner of a novel.

Lucky Break is the second book in the Trentbridge Tales series. It is a British crime thriller full of action, suspense, mystery, murder, intrigue, deception, art, danger, secrets, and lies. Although it can easily be read as a standalone, I do recommend reading the first book because some of the characters overlap. The book brings back Detective Sheldon whom we met in the first book. James Sheldon is now working as a Private Investigator who has been asked to prove the innocence of the main suspect in a murder at the Albion Hotel. The murder involves a man who seems to have had several lucky breaks in the art world that have amassed him millions of dollars. Unfortunately, his luck ran out and he ended up dead. Now it is up to PI Sheldon to solve his murder. He is smart, feisty, and determined to solve the case. As PI Sheldon digs into the case and unravels the clues, he discovers an unlikely murder suspect who has been hiding right under his nose the whole time. The case takes some unexpected twists and turns that makes the book impossible to put down. Anxiously awaiting the next book in this amazing series!

The Trentbridge Crime series is as much about the location as the characters. Characters come and go during this series, but we see more of the town of Trentbridge with each book. We start in London in this story, but then plot slowly turns to Trentbridge and the Albion Hotel. It’s really easy to get caught up in this story and wonder if the main character will ever get his lucky break. Does getting that lucky break last? Read to find out!

Art, deception, murder, intrigue, suspense, mystery…..this is book 2 in the Trentbridge Tales and another enjoyable book by Lee Wood. I knew after reading the first book, I needed to read the 2nd installment of this series. This may be read as a stand alone, but I do recommend reading the first book as James Sheldon is now our investigator….
Peter Winston-Moore is just looking for a break in life….trying to make money….when he discovers an art piece in a store that you would never find a masterpiece in…his luck is changing….or is it? Once he has this and word gets out….then hunt is on..how did Peter get his hands on this masterpiece from Picasso? When murder is involved, James Sheldon is the investigator to figure out the pieces to this mystery….but we all know everyone has their secrets…
Will James Sheldon figure out whom is responsible for murder before it is to late??
Definitely read and find out! Very intriguing and looking forward the next book in the series.

This is the second book in the Trentbridge Tales series. Even though each book is a standalone once you read one you will definately want to read more. I love this author’s work, the writing and character building is great but what I really love is the fact it is set in areas I recognised and grew up in. There isn’t many references to the town of Market Drayton which is where I grew up, so when I read this in the story I was more in love than before. This story is a dark gritty read which is full of secrets, lies and danger. The twists and turns kept me guessing all the way through and I couldn’t put it down. When Peter discovers a genuine masterpiece in a junk shop he finally gets his big break, the big break he has been waiting his whole life for. Life should be good now right? As he continues he finds more and more profitable finds which has his competitors questioning how he is doing it. When a murder occurs it falls to Detective James Sheldon to sort all the pieces of the puzzle and work out just what went wrong and who the murderer actually is. But with a suspect list growing bigger and bigger and the secrets and dark pasts being revealed by everyone he questions James will need more than Luck to solve this case. This is an edge of your seat read that I loved and couldn’t put down. I was completely captivated by this story and the author writes in a way that flows well so it feel like a fast paced read.

Lucky Break (Trentbridge Tales Book 2) by Lee Wood is a great crime Thriller series
Rival dealers have been informed by Peter Winston-Moore that he found the real Picasso at a rubbish shop. At Sotheby’s, it went for $5.4 million. It indicates that he has transformed from a shoddy wheeler-dealer to the proprietor of a prestigious art and antiquities gallery. And other merchants have taken notice as he continues to unearth priceless antiques.With terrible results, three of them decide to pursue him out of curiosity for his unknown source.
Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.

This story was just as amazing as the first. I loved the story just as much. The action, the story, the characters, they were just as fascinating and engaging. I found myself jumping right in from the beginning because I had to know what was coming. I loved the suspense of it. An excellent read that I can recommend.

I read the first book of this series and loved every page! So i was eager to start this one and I was not disappointed. I love a good crime thriller that keeps me on my toes! The twists and turns kept me turning the pages and every time I stopped reading to go do something else, I went right back to read more because I needed to know what happens next. You can read these as a standalone but I highly encourage you to read the first book! You won’t regret it. Great story line with amazing characters! I can’t wait for the next book!!

Lucky Break is the 2nd book in the Trentbridge Tales series. I did read the first one, but you don’t have to before reading this book. It is good enough for a stand alone, just with some cross over characters. This author writes good books and with a lot of thought put into them. They are like an episode of Law and Order, and keep the reader engaged. My one complaint, which I had with the first book too, there are too many characters. It is so hard for me to keep everyone straight on who is who and how they fit into the story. By mid way through, I had it all connected, but the first half I really struggled with it all. The mystery was maintained throughout, until the reveal at the very end. If you enjoy crime thrillers, I highly recommend this series.

Contemporary crime thriller The second book in the Trentbridge Tales, Lucky Break brings another investigation for James Sheldon. Even though this can be read as a stand-alone there is an ongoing sub-plot that carries over from book 1. James finds himself thrust into a dangerous underworld where danger lurks around every corner as he tries to solve a murder. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, with the unpredictable storyline and engaging narrative. Looking forward to the next instalment. Recommend.

Just like the first book in the Trentbridge Tales Series, the author writes in a way to keep us readers on our toes and looking forward to what comes next. This second book starts out with us meeting Peter Moore, who takes us on a intriguing ride about antique items and art, specifically paintings. The story takes us on twists and turns we didn’t expect and keeps us reading more. The author does a great job world and character building. I really appreciated seeing characters from the first book joining in this second book.

Lucky Break (Trentbridge Tales Book 2) by Lee Wood. This is such a good book. Its the 2nd installment of the Trentbridge Tales Series and I highly recommend reading the first book to understand the characters better. Its the ongoing story of James Winston who is a detective who has had a hard road. He is a very dedicated detective now and is on top of this new case. It involves the art world and a man named Peter Winston-Moore who has discovered a Picasso and has finally caught a break. He is now a real player in the art world. When he tells all the other dealers he found this Picasso at a thrift store they don’t believe him and they are on the hunt for where he really got it. When someone is murdered everything shifts. Will James be able to find out who the murderer is before there are more bodies found? Will Peter make it out of this situation alive. Just when he finally makes it things go South and fast. I love these fast paced thrillers and can’t wait to read the next one!

Lucky Break is the second intriguing book in Lee Wood’s Trentbridge Tales. Each book can be read as a standalone but should be read in order as the character and sub-plots are intertwined throughout the books. I enjoyed reading Mr Lucky the first book and getting to know ex Detective James Sheldon who was down and out on his luck, now turned PI. Lucky Break is a little dark British crime thriller with surprising twists and turns that kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat at times. Lee’s vivid narrative and slightly gritty psychological plot makes for one interesting read that you will not put down until the last page has been turned. James is on a case where one man’s fortunate discoveries turn out not so fortunate now, he’s dead. What James discovers is a dark world of secrets, lies, crime, danger, murder and mayhem and who was it that pulled the trigger on this smoking gun (so to speak). If you like British crime thrillers, then you will enjoy Lucky Break. I encourage to grab a copy. I once again look forward to more of James Sheldon and his adventures.

This book is the second in the series and.l is just as good as the first. I was easily pulled into the story and the characters. The boom was gull of Suspense. It certainly keeps you guessing as it progresses and I couldn’t wait to see how things would end. It was great to get to know more about rhe main character. You could see the development from one book to the other. Although I would suggest reading these books in order, this can be read as a standalone and is a book inwould definitely recommend reading.

Mystery. Art. Murder. Once again, the talented Lee Wood has a way to pull you into the mystery and keep you until the end. Lucky Break is the second book in the incredible Trentbridge Tales Series, while it can be read as a standalone, I personally feel the best way to fully get immersed in the world of Trentbridge you must read the first book to fully understand the growth of the characters and what they have overcome to reach their current position, as well as to better understand the subplots. The journey is well worth the read. As with the previous book we are given the story through several perspectives that help give background, understanding and depth to the story. Peter gives insight to a different world, one of art and beauty but also one of suspense, murder, and mystery. All Peter ever wanted was to find his “lucky break” so that he could live a better life, and in his eyes a fuller life. After months of grieving after the loss of his mother things start to get slightly better when he finds Norman. Norman says whatever happens Peter will always have him. Then everything changes, with the discovery of a lost Picasso. The murder of an art dealer and a growing suspect list where the secrets get darker the longer, they dig. The world of Trentbridge is based around real towns, giving more of a foothold in the mind, making it easier to envision the places and people that live there. Like in the first book the characters are everyday people even if they have moments more in the extreme than the average person. What the characters experience with their hope, loss, fears and wants are very real for most people in the world. Being able to relate to the characters gives the reader a deeper understanding and hope that they can overcome all that they face. After all we are all just looking for a lucky break. I cannot wait to start book three, Dead Lucky, to see what happens next in the world of Trentbridge.

This is the second book in the Trentbridge Crime Series. This definitely functions as a standalone, but there is some overlap in characters, so I do recommend reading the first one to really get a feel for all of these characters because both are such amazing books. Peter Winston-Moore is such an interesting character. He is one who really just “steps in it” big time. However, the real character I enjoyed the most is James Sheldon who works as a private investigator whose case is way more complicated than he ever would have suspected on first glance. This author does a fantastic job developing characters, but more importantly he does an absolutely amazing job developing the setting. Everything is described in such a way that you feel like you can absolutely visualize where the story is taking place. Given that this book deals with murder and a private investigator this is a talent that should not go unnoticed. As a reader you feel like you are discovering clues with James Sheldon, not just reading about James Sheldon discovering leads and clues. I really truly cannot recommend this book, and this whole series enough!

I can’t get enough of this series! This starts off as a typical who-done-it, however it is anything but typical. The author weaves characters and motives throughout the tale with the deftness of a master weaver. I like the policeman who went the extra steps to make certain that justice was done rightly. I like the glimpses of the protagonist from the previous book in the series.

“A Picasso in a junk shop A murdered art dealer A growing suspect list Time is running out All they need is one Lucky Break…”
Lucky Break is the second book in the Trentbridge Tales series by Lee Wood. This is a gritty mystery with crime and investigation, tension, murder, the ‘art’ world, dark secrets, danger, drama, and plenty of intrigue. I enjoyed meeting Detective James Sheldon in the first instalment of this series, so I was excited to see what he would be getting up to here. Mr. Wood didn’t disappoint, and along with an engrossing story, he has crafted a cast of well-developed complex characters who really helped to bring this whole story to life. This intriguing cast and interesting situations that Mr. Wood had created (in his book/series) would definitely make a great movie or television series. Happy Reading…

My first thoughts were this was a “must read” because I really enjoyed the first book of the Trentbridge series. I enjoyed how the new storyline and characters were introduced before reintroducing the main characters from the previous books, for example, James Sheldon. It hooked me right away to see where this story was heading. Like the initial book, this one was full of action, a plausible story line, and a resolution that was thought out (as opposed to “just ending” the book, which a lot of books within a series tend to do, in my opinion).
Right away, the cover art drew me in- I really enjoyed the juxtaposition between the stylized eye (symbolizing the lucky break?) and the realistic city scene, portraying the newly introduced character Peter Winston-Moore.
Throughout this sequel, I appreciated how the character development of recurring characters, such as James, remain the same. At the same time, some of the new characters have some far-fetched schemes, but made for a great story!
I really enjoyed the recurring theme in this book, of each of the characters, new and old, getting, in their viewpoint, “lucky breaks,” it really helped with keeping the pacing of this book fast and fresh. This time, the action centers around not a lottery winner, but art forgery and selling art, with great world building as the characters visit fairs, antique stores, and auction houses.
I read a lot of mystery novels, but not much crime novels, so I appreciated the novel’s ending surprising me to some degree. As with the first book, the chapters are on the shorter side, and the writing style is simple and refreshing, not overly flowerly or elegant, which I think depicts the world of art forgery to a tee. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

This is the second book in the Trentbridge Tales series. While this can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading in order to get the backstory on the people involved.
This book is just as riveting as the first one, with twists and turns that no one would see coming. This book kept me engaged throughout and I was not expecting the culprit at the end. Lee Wood has a way of weaving a story together that will have you guessing and second guessing throughout. This is set “over the pond” so there is some terminology that I had to look up but it was not distracting to the overall read.

This is the second book in this series which I enjoyed reading just as much as the first one. I highly suggest reading the first book to help your enhancement of the characters. This is a well written story that has twists and turns like no other. They are edge sitting and shadow lurking which add to the story’s entertainment value. This is a fast paced story that has characters that pull you into their world from the start. They are connectable, strong and supportive of each other which made the story easy to read. They have great growth and had me guessing on who did it. This is an engaging story that is hard to put down. A thriller you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

When Peter Winston-Moore discovers a genuine Picasso in a junk shop, he can’t believe his luck. It sells for $5.4 million at Sotheby’s. Now he keeps finding valuable items, which doesn’t go unnoticed by his competitors. Three of them become curious about his secret source and decide to follow him with disastrous consequences. James Sheldon was a police detective. He’s now a private investigator and has been asked to prove the main suspect in a murder is innocent. However, as he delves deeper, he realises everyone involved has dark secrets. It’s a plot with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. Join the growing number of readers discovering James Sheldon As one reviewer quoted: “The ending has the summing up to it of a typical Agatha Christie, so this is a contemporary novel but with that old-fashioned feel.” LUCKY BREAK is the second book in the ‘Trentbridge Tales‘ series.
Before semi-retiring and turning to write novels, Lee had a varied career. He spent more than 20 years working in the music industry. Everything from playing in bands as a teenager to running an indie record label and record shop during the punk rock era to starting a music collector’s magazine and building it from zero to a circulation of 14,000 copies a month.
He’s met virtually every top ‘pop star’ and achieved one of his lifetime ambitions when he became manager of The Troggs, one of his all-time favourite bands from his teens.
He wrote a best-selling book on the Sex Pistols in 1988, which was published by Omnibus Press and thanks to their well-oiled publicity machine sold a respectable 60,000 copies. It was also published in Japan – in Japanese!
He has lived in Cambridge for most of his life and looks on writing as a new adventure. He still finds time to play the guitar (Fender Stratocaster) and is currently learning to play the drums with his wife. They found a drum teacher who has a studio with two kits and they are learning to play together side by side.
Mr. Lucky, is the first novel in the series. They are all available in eBook and paperback formats.
