Praise for L.D. Smithson
:
What fun!
Guardian
Immediately immersive, and scary as can be.
Lee Child
Stylish, glamorous and clever.
Andrea Mara
A gut-wrenching read.
Woman’s Own
A definite page-turner. The pace never slackens.
Faith Martin
The pace is relentless, meaning there’s plenty to keep you entertained throughout.
Belfast Telegraph
Smart, suspenseful and seriously tense, The Escape Room is the very definition of a page turner.
CULTUREFLY
LD Smithson relentlessly turns the screws on her characters. It was excruciating to watch them squirm but I could not stop turning the pages.
Emma Curtis, author of The Babysitter
Praise for The Shame Game
:
A wickedly tense and twisty thriller that peels back the layers of friendship, shame, and long-buried secrets. If you loved First Lie Wins, prepare to be equally obsessed—this one will have you turning pages well into the night!
Wendy Walker, author of The Room Next Door
Totally original… a riveting story with a bunch of flawed and fascinating characters. Their lives are turned upside down and the shocks keep coming right up to an explosive ending. Highly recommended.
Alex Pine, author of The Christmas Killer
The countdown ramps up the tension, while LD Smithson challenges readers to think about far they would go to save their reputations and careers.
