What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Welcome to The Shame Game. Are you ready to play?

I know what you did. What you’ve kept hidden all these years. Now I’m going to make it public. Unless you do exactly what I say.

There’s only one way to keep your secret hidden: you need to ruin your best friend’s life. Take it apart, piece by piece, until they have nothing left. Betray their trust. Put them to shame.

Let the game begin…

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
