ORDER THE ENTHRALLING NEW STORY OF MURDER AND LIES FROM THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN

In a Shepherd's Bush bedsit, Amelia White dreams of being a reporter. The closest she's come is selling advertising in the local paper.

Until the fateful day she stumbles on a truly shocking scoop.


Round the corner from her home, she discovers the body of a murder victim, dumped among the rubbish. When the police and reporters descend, Amelia is horrified at the assumptions made and lies soon to be spread about this poor young woman.

Determined to protect the victim from these smears and help her grieving family, she convinces her paper's editor to allow her to take up her pen and tell the true story.

But when another body is found and the police investigation stalls, Amelia - uncovering new witnesses and suspects in her search for clues - discovers that she may be the only one with any chance of learning the truth and stopping more killings.

If only she can work out who the liar is . . .

I really don’t know what to say about this book. Did I enjoy it? I’ve no idea. It’s a very silly story. I’m too old for these books. Not really murder stories.......silly love stories. Which I hate. Give me a intense murder not a love story.

Great narration .........she has a sweet voice.

Not one of Lesley Pearce’s best.
The story was a bit far fetched and very simplistic in its writing. I guessed the plot ‘twists’ well ahead of time.
The narration was disappointing and without feeling or emotion.

Disappointing

This had me hooked from beginning to end - twists and turns all the way and written in Lesley's usual intuitive style.

Another Classic Lesley Pearse
