review 1: This book was published in the US as "Lost" and what a book it is. I recently discovered SJ Bolton and now I can't get enough of her! Thrilling murder mysteries set in London, England, they pull you right in to the minds of the killers and the police alike. Word of caution howeve...

review 1: I like this author, and this is one of the Lacey Flint series. She lives in a houseboat on the Thames, and swims in the river. She finds a wrapped corpse of an unidentified woman one day when swimming, and stumbles upon an organized crime that extends beyond the murder. In add...

review 1: I think it helps to read this series in order. This is the third in the Lacey Flint series, and although I read the 4th one first I have enjoyed the others much more by reading them in order as the characters' stories build book by book. In Lost, young boys have been killed and t...

review 1: This was the second S. J. Bolton book I read; I read my first one, Sacrifice, last week, so you can tell how eager I was to get my hands on another and how quick they are to read. Both were almost unputdownable. Yes, the plots are far-fetched but S. J. Bolton is such a good wri...

review 1: Wow. Just wow. I loved this book. It's gripping from the very beginning. I think it's the first book that genuinely creeped me out. I don't scare easy. Not only that, but it is a real mind player. The story has you constantly thinking, working out details in your head to try and ...

review 1: I don't know that I've ever given a book 2 stars on here, I usually stop reading if I disliked it that much. The story was, I guess, o.k. enough to actually forge my way to the end, but it was painful. I was in the mood for a good thriller/mystery and this one had great reviews...

review 1: I like Lacey Flint as a character--in this one she hears a call about someone setting a man on fire. She runs from her apartment in time to see the perpetrator fleeing, but she doesn't get a good enough look at him to be helpful. There are a number of twists in the plot that to...

review 1: Another fascinating murder mystery from SJ Bolton- I had read all her other books before this one- so this one was out of order. Dead Scared was the Lacey Flint book before Lost (aka Like This Forever). Some of the characters from prior books reappeared (which I liked), and the...

review 1: Wow! Very "Children of the Corn." Super creepy, great characters, and I especially loved the children's participation in the story. I did figure out who the "bad guy" had to be rather early in the story, simply because of a suspicious lack of explanation about certain people, but...

review 1: i loved the atmosphere of the book. I liked all of the main characters. I subtracted points for an ending that was a bit too graphic than what I thought I would get. Don't get me wrong, sometimes strong imagery and horrible scenes are needed to tell a story. In this case it j...

review 1: This is the second of S. J. Bolton's books I have read. This one stars a wildlife vet with major personal issues who lives in a small town in Dorset, and who gets the chance to act as resident herpetologist when a plague of snakes starts taking down the villagers. There is a perv...
