About this listen
'A lean, careening thrill … one of my favourite books of the year' Megan Nolan
‘Riveting reading' The Times
'Irresistible … A page-turning story of sex, power, and money' Vogue, Best Books of 2024 So Far
A razor-sharp novel that skewers the life of the uber-rich in the vein of The White Lotus, with shades of The Talented Mr Ripley and The Graduate
Conor comes from nothing, but he knows how to win.
Tennis has taught him how to be relentless. How to work hard and stay patient, even when your opponent has every advantage.
Tennis is what takes Conor to a gated community for the summer, where he can give overpriced lessons to the super-rich. It brings him to Catherine, a bored but intoxicating divorcee twice his age. And to Emily, a girl he might actually love.
As the summer heats up, Conor finds himself not just playing a game, but fighting for survival. Will he put his emotions aside for a greater prize? After all, in tennis, love means nothing.

More than a romance
A surprisingly good listen. The female voices were a little odd as they were read by a man but the story was not what I was expecting

A refreshing thriller read with aplomb
The Winner is an excellent read that is worth investing in for all drama-suspense-thriller fans. It’s approach is definitely a little different and I for one appreciated it — whilst the tension may have taken some time to ratchet up, the pace of the narrative kept things moving and the writing and reading was top notch.
It asks questions of the reader in its conclusion that few thrillers do, and sure there were a couple of less interesting sidenotes ie the insertion of political views, that felt forced — but all said this was an enthralling experience that leaves one a little confused as to where we sit.
