Daisy in Chains

A Novel

By: Sharon Bolton

Narrated by: Antonia Beamish

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.

Critic reviews

"Antonia Beamish raises popular British novelist Bolton's psychological thriller to the next level. Beamish's enthusiastic narration grabs the listener from the opening lines and maintains her hold to the end.... Set aside time for this one because once started, it demands to be finished." ( AudioFile)

Well written plot and captivating narrator!

Great listen! I was immediately engaged and finished in just two listens. Great ending with awesome narration!

A bit hard to believe

It was a great story until about the last six to eight chapters. Then it became excelerated and rather hard to see as credible. Enjoyed it in spite of the rather hard to buy ending

Great mystery with complex details

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. I got it on a credit sale and I wasn't expecting much, but the mystery was complex enough that even though I thought I had it figured out, I didn't.
It also offers an interesting look at society's view of female body weight which I wasn't expecting. It was nuanced throughout the novel and I wasn't totally satisfied with the final take on the issue, but I enjoyed seeing it through different lens.
My main issue is that the novel switches formats from letters and emails and back to normal novelization. It's not a knock on the narration, I assume any novel that does this had trouble in an audio format. It didn't take away from my enjoyment once I was used to it.
All in all, a great book. I'm going to check out her other books now too!

Can't say I enjoyed it!

I really tried to like this one,, but I struggled to get into it!
