what does "in mock horror"mean? is she scared? or does it mean "threat?"
She stuffed her cigarettes away into her enormous bag, which appeared to hold her day clothes too, and hoisted it over her shoulder. In her heels, she was within an inch of the detective’s height. Somé looked up at Strike, his eyes narrowed.
“Make sure you give the little shit a hard time.”
“Guy!” said Ciara, pouting. “Don’t be horrible.”
“And watch yourself, Master Rokeby,” Somé added, with his usual edge of spite. “Ciara’s a terrible slut, aren’t you, dear? And she’s like me. She likes them big.”
“Guy!” said Ciara, in mock horror. “Come on, Cormoran. I’ve got a driver outside.”

"mock" is the key here. "mock" means imitation. So she's just pretending to be scared.
