Dreamworld by Jane Goldman
Stunning thriller featuring murder in the utopia of a Florida theme park, from a major new talent in the fiction world. It’s another perfect day at Dreamworld, Florida’s famous family vacation spot. Until its most popular character turns up murdered. When Lisa Schaeffer agreed to play the part of cuddly Kit-E-Cat, she didn’t expect to get stabbed and wind up with blood all over her fun fur costume, her unsavoury boyfriend dead at her side. A double death is not the sort of attraction the Dreamworld authorities want to publicize, and so their impressive security force swings into action. The utopian image must be preserved; no illusions shattered. Few are more sincerely devoted to this aim than rookie patrol officer Sylvia Avery. But when another grisly murder suggests a new, more sinister possibility, Avery is forced to investigate the side of Dreamworld that visitors never see. Just how close can she get to the horrifying truth without jeopardizing Dreamworld’s reputation, her job or even her life?
'Sharp, unusual and at times very funny: a pop thriller laced with dark shadows' Michael Marshall Smith 'Cracking jokes, confident dialogue and fascinating theme-park lore.. the protagonist is refreshingly unsuper' Independent 'Murder, deceit and corruption going right to the very top are the order of the day in an excellent, compulsive themepark thriller' Loaded 'A pacey, wisecracking thriller' She 'Goldman can create stylish, thrilling fiction..crammed with betrayal, deception and duplicity galore, it's a tangled conspiracy theory boasting so many ingenious plot-twists that your head will spin in alien-like fashion until the final full stop' Mirror
