A review by sandraleivesley
Daisy in Chains by Sharon Bolton
5.0
I love Ms Bolton's Lacey Flint series and am now working my way through her back catalogue!
This standalone thriller revolves around Maggie Rose, a successful lawyer and author who specialises in appeals, and has an air of mystery around her. Hamish Wolfe, a convicted serial killer, wants her to take on his case. The book is paced perfectly - the first part setting the scene and introducing the character, and the last part speeds up and takes us to a thrilling ending.
There are some small surprises and one big surprise which I truly didn't see coming, though in hindsight there was one big clue earlier that I just didn't pick up on.
The book also deals with serial killer groupies - women who write fan mail to serial killers. It all seems very strange even though I know it's a real thing, especially in the USA.
A standout psychological thriller, well narrated by Antonia Beamish
