Synopsis

He’s a serial killer. A murderer of young women, all killed in brutal attacks.

But despite Hamish Wolfe’s conviction, he’s always stuck to his story—he’s innocent and he’s been wrongly imprisoned. And now he wants someone to investigate and, more importantly, to write his story.

Maggie Rose is a notorious defense attorney and writer whose specialty is getting convictions overturned. At first, Maggie is reluctant to even acknowledge Hamish’s requests to meet, ignoring his letters. But this is a very charismatic and persuasive man, good-looking and intelligent.

Eventually even she can’t resist his lure…

Goodreads review by Deanna on June 18, 2016

DAISY IN CHAINS in the first novel by Sharon Bolton that I have read and I am pretty sure that it won't be the last. This was an addictive read. Honestly I was only going to read a few pages as I wanted to get another book finished, but once I started I didn't want to stop. Maggie Rose is a lawyer......more

Wowzers, Ms. Bolton! You have outdone yourself with this one. Daisy in Chains is an ingenious piece of writing that is absolutely enthralling. Gosh, this is different. The story is about determining the guilt or innocence of a man already sentenced to a lifetime in prison for killing several women. A......more

Goodreads review by JanB on March 02, 2022

4.5 stars Hamish is handsome, charismatic and a ladies’ man. He is also serving a life sentence for murdering three young women, with a suspected fourth, Daisy, whose body has yet to be found. He also has a fan club of women who adore him. Sounds crazy, right? In actuality, it is quite common among h......more

Goodreads review by Misty Marie on May 21, 2022

A serial killer and a true crime author/lawyer come together to make one twisted thriller full of revenge. I love a book that keeps me guessing, then pulling a shady reveal. No slow burn with this one, which I appreciate very much. Recommend!......more

Goodreads review by Mary Beth on November 06, 2016

Wow! Five Shiny Stars! I just loved this book. I love this author and my favorite is the Lacey Flint series. This one is a stand alone. Hamish Wolfe is in prison for the abduction and murder of three women. They all have one thing in common, they are a larger dress size. Maggie Rose is a successful l......more


Quotes

“Achingly suspenseful.”—The Washington Post on Little Black Lies

“[Bolton’s] sharpest skills are in play with her suspense novel Little Black Lies…Her crafty plotting produces an intricately detailed mystery…And her deft characterizations respect the psychological complexities of the three islanders who serve as narrators…The tension of their interplay fuels the suspense, but in the end—literally, on the last page—it’s the plot that thrills.”—The New York Times Book Review

“This is [Bolton’s] fourth mystery to feature London policewoman Lacey Flint, and it’s so good I’m getting ready to binge-read the first three…The pleasures of first-rate mystery usually lie in the plot, and Bolton has constructed a solid nail-biter. But it’s the characters that infuse A Dark and Twisted Tide with such heart—not just the gritty, damaged Flint but her friends and colleagues, too.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Realistic fear, heart-stopping suspense, and jolting plot twists keep one almost frantically turning pages as Bolton grabs us from the beginning and leaves us shaken at the end. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal (starred review) on Lost
