Psychological Crime Thrillers
L.D. Smithson novels
When a thriller is billed as Squid Game meets The Traitors, you know you’re in for something truly twisty. L. D. Smithson’s high concept novel is set amidst the dark world of reality TV, as eight contestants arrive on a remote sea fort off the coast of England to take part a mysterious competition. Smart, suspenseful and seriously tense, The Escape Room is the very definition of a page turner.
