Running Scared is an action packed drama centered around who was the culprit in the nearly deadly kill of Nicholas Rice.  What Rice feared most, yet  shared little, would come upon him in the form of a stalker no one would have believed the identity of.  Author S.L.(Sharon) Smith has used her expertise in writing with her psychology background and flair for investigative crime suspense in what I would term as a well crafted masterpiece.The investigative duos systematic well thought of questioning would only create more questions as to who drove the LeSabre and what was the motive.  Smith will take you through family and neighbor questioning, high school student investigations, and the ultimate foot chase that would reveal more than would be anticipated.The saying "never judge a book by its cover" surely applies to this thriller as does a deeper look into the heart and motives behind one's actions.  What begins as a secretive affair would spiral into life changing reality for both the Rice and Norman families.  So many questions to answer on every turn.  The drama and suspense will keep you glued to your seat for hours.  This crime thriller will not lose you from 1 character to the next but will flow with an excellent readability and no down time to catch your breath.  Not only will your perspective change but so too will your empathy barometer.This life scenario was complied by the extensive appreciative help Smith gained from law enforcement, chief investigators, fire marshals, and emergency medicine Physicians.  It's up front drama, with plenty of twists and turns, is a page turning book I highly recommend.
