Praise for The Shame Game

Praise for L.D. Smithson

:

What fun!

Guardian

Wow! What a page-turner…The nicest people turning on each other when the going gets tough.

Emma Curtis

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
