Is everyone stalking suddenly famous writer Debbie Bloom, or does it just feel that way? Her soon-to-be-ex-husband and longtime lover join the paparazzi camped outside her house as a murder-for-hire plot goes wrong in a million quirky ways, drawing the attention of a lethal psychopath and a ghost who refuses to let go with love. Wildly sexy, outrageously satirical, twisted and vastly creepy, The Chilling Effect is the sequel to Roberta Lee's The Liar's Guide and the second volume in the Suburban Sprawl series of related novels. Manicured lawns (and rehab), domestic bliss (and domestic violence), golf clubs (and strip clubs)--welcome to suburbia, circa right now Roberta Lee's Suburban Sprawl is one scoop erotica, one scoop murder mystery and one scoop ghost story, topped with a generous dollop of wicked satire.
