“Blood Lies” is the first novel written by author Lori Krause, and whereas it is in no way as polished, stylist, and engrossing as her last novel “The Mirror,”it nevertheless is at times quite suspenseful and it has one hell of an ending.
Lisa is an up and rising advertising executive and wherever she seems to go, whether it is to eat at a restaurant a few miles from where she lives, or on business in Chicago, New York, or Los Angeles a brutal murder not far from where she has been the night before seems to happen. It gets to the point that she suspects that she might be the murderer or at least some way involved, even though she has no recollection of committing such brutal acts.
There are many twists and turns and quite a few interesting characters and for the most part I found myself quite engrossed in the book most of the time. It is a quick read and I found it quite enjoyable.
Joseph Sciuto was born and raised in New York City, where he spent his early years listening to his Italian-American grandmother’s vivid stories about how their family was responsible for building much of the impressive Manhattan skyline, including the Empire State Building. The rich flavor of her stories about their family’s heritage still works its way through his writing.
Sciuto holds degrees from both John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Stony Brook University and a certificate in film studies from New York University. After studying psychology, film, theater, literature, and English as an undergraduate, he relocated to Southern California to attend graduate school at Loyola Marymount University, where he studied writing and film.
Sciuto's next novel, SOFIA, is available on June 27, 2019, following the success of HOLLYWOOD RIPTIDE, TARGETED DEMOGRAPHICS and PER VERSE VENGEANCE.
