THE GIRL ON THE STAIRS, by V. J. Chambers











Mystery/Thriller -- 3 1/2 stars


Lola Ward was 12 years old when Nicholas Todd murdered her parents and took Lola hostage.  At least that's the story she tells after she escapes.  Todd has a different version. Now grown up, Lola approaches a crime writer and convinces him to write her story--a story he's not sure he believes.  Then Todd escapes from prison.  Who is he after, Lola or the writer?  A great idea, and the characters were actually pretty well drawn, but I just couldn't care about any of them.  The ending was a disappointment.
