Troublemaker


Overview

A gripping, claustrophobic thriller on the theme of the girl who cried wolf- how do you solve a murder when no one believes it took place? And now the killer has their sights set on you... Storm used to be just like her name. Wild and strong. A force to be reckoned with. But ever since her younger brother was killed in a violent mugging, she has led a very different life- quiet and cautious, seeing danger everywhere. Storm's tendency to panic has resulted in several false alarms, so when she witnesses a murder with uncanny similarities to the way her brother was killed, and yet no body is found and no one is reported missing, the police don't take her seriously. But Storm knows what she saw. And the murder is only the start - the killer will stop at nothing to keep Storm quiet. But how can she solve the murder and stay out of danger when no one believes her?

Reviews

Lesley Kara is brilliant. I read TROUBLEMAKER in one sitting - it just would not let me put it down! * Peter James * 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 * 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 * Praise for Lesley Kara: * - * Lesley Kara keeps you guessing until the final page. * Paula Hawkins, No.1 bestselling author of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN and INTO THE WATER * A slyly clever premise and a rollercoaster ride to the very last sentence. * Fiona Barton, bestselling author of THE WIDOW and THE CHILD * Startlingly original . . . It's hard to think of a recent novel than can match Kara's for an almost unbearable level of suspense. * Sunday Times *


Praise for Lesley Kara: * - * Lesley Kara keeps you guessing until the final page. * Paula Hawkins, No.1 bestselling author of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN and INTO THE WATER * A slyly clever premise and a rollercoaster ride to the very last sentence. * Fiona Barton, bestselling author of THE WIDOW and THE CHILD * Startlingly original . . . It's hard to think of a recent novel than can match Kara's for an almost unbearable level of suspense. * Sunday Times * A perfect blend of complex, human characters and unrelenting suspense. Lesley Kara is incomparable. * Jack Jordan, author of DO NO HARM * A twisted plot to get my teeth into, believable well written characters and loads of nail-biting suspense. Loved it! * Emma Curtis, author of INVITE ME IN * Lesley Kara is still the queen of thrillers with this twisty and dark story! * Lauren North, author of SAFE AT HOME *
