Li'l Owl's Reviews > Dead Scared

Nerve Rattling and Terrifying!

DI Joesbury has reached the door to the chapel tower and finds it unlocked. It slams back against the stone wall and his left shoulder, which will always be the weaker of the two, registers the shock of pain. At the first corner, Joesbury spots a shoe, a narrow, low-heeled blue leather shoe, with a pointed toe and a high polish. He almost stops to pick it up and then realizes he can’t bear to. Once before he held a woman’s shoe in his hand and thought he’d lost her. He carries on, up the steps, counting them as he goes. Not because he has the faintest idea how many there are, but because he needs to be marking progress in his head. When he reaches the second flight, he hears footsteps behind him. Someone is following him up.
He feels the cold air just as he sees the door at the top. He’s out on the roof before he has any idea what he’s going to do if he’s too late and she’s already jumped. Or what the hell he’ll do if she hasn’t.
‘Lacey,’he yells. ‘No!’

**********
And that's just the beginning!

Book two in the Lacey Flint series, Dead Scared is exactly we come to expect from Sharon J. Bolton! Terrifying, nerve jangling, psychological suspence that will leave your heart pounding and your breath caught in your throat!
This series is so addicting!
Like This, For Ever will be in my hands very, very soon! But first, I had better read something a bit lighter!

I don't write very much in my reviews of this series as each one builds on the one before it and so far, they are all sensational! And I don't want to give anything away!
