This deliciously chilling suspense thriller is an absolute treat. Kara combines her astute grasp of human psychology with her observational skills to create a twisty and compelling story. I was up way too late reading and I can't recommend this enough.
Chris Bridges, author of SICK TO DEATH
A twisty thriller that had me gripped right from the very start after the protagonist witnesses a murder that then appears not to have happened. Lesley had me guessing all the way through the book and I loved the pairing up of two fantastic characters in Lena and Storm. A fabulous read!
Nikki Smith, author of THE BEACH PARTY
Lesley Kara is brilliant. I read TROUBLEMAKER in one sitting - it just would not let me put it down!
Peter James
I raced through TROUBLEMAKER, desperate to know what on earth was going on. Twisty, compelling and full of heart
Laura Marshall, bestselling author of FRIEND REQUEST
I adored Storm and Lena, I loved everything about this book – one of my absolute favourite reads of the year.
Andrea Mara, bestselling author of IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU
A hugely enjoyable page-turner.
Emma Curtis, author of THE BABYSITTER
Tension mounts by the page in this exhilarating ‘girl who cried wolf’ thriller – a riveting, read-in-one-sitting treat.
Louise Candlish, bestselling author of OUR HOUSE
Take a gripping thriller and throw in grief, paranoia and friendship; Troublemaker is brilliantly written and completely addictive.

Highly immersive! Storm and Lena are wonderfully drawn characters and a reader can’t help but root for them. I flew through this book.
