Critics Review

Praise for The Shame Game * : *The countdown ramps up the tension, while LD Smithson challenges readers to think about far they would go to save their reputations and careers. * Sunday Times *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 *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 *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 *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 *
