About this ebook
Now You See Me is the first in the Lacey Flint series, followed by Dead Scared and Lost.
"Bolton is changing the face of crime fiction—if you only read one crime novel this year, make it this." —Tess Gerritsen on Now You See Me
"Really special: multi-layered and sophisticated, but tough too." —Lee Child on Now You See Me
One night after interviewing a reluctant witness at a London apartment complex, Lacey Flint, a young detective constable, stumbles onto a woman brutally stabbed just moments before in the building's darkened parking lot. Within twenty-four hours a reporter receives an anonymous letter that points out alarming similarities between the murder and Jack the Ripper's first murder—a letter that calls out Lacey by name. If it's real, and they have a killer bent on re-creating London's bloody past, history shows they have just five days until the next attempt.
No one believes the connections are anything more than a sadistic killer's game, not even Lacey, whom the killer seems to be taunting specifically. However, as they investigate the details of the case start reminding her more and more of a part of her past she'd rather keep hidden. And the only way to do that is to catch the killer herself.
Fast paced and completely riveting, S. J. Bolton's Now You See Me is a modern gothic novel that is nothing less than a masterpiece of suspense fiction.
A Kirkus Reviews Best of 2011 Mysteries title and one of Library Journal's Best Mystery Books of 2011.

The book it's self was good. Her editor did a rather poor job and that is what costed this book the five stars. I figured it out a little bit less then halfway through but it was engaging and well researched. So as long as you can get past the grammatical errors then I think think that this a book you may enjoy.

While this book was fairly engrossing, I had an idea how it would end from the beginning, even though I was successfully thrown off several times. But then it ended, and I was perplexed in the worst way (as in, where are the rest of the chapters), and I will not be reading any more of this author's work.

This was a great read. Kept my attention to the end and didn't know how it would end. Would recommend to friends.
