New review: The Lamplighters by Emma Stoned. Publi

#Repost @shortbookandscribes (@get_repost)

It's paperback #publicationday for #Liar by Lesley Pearse today and so I'm resharing my review from last year.
🤥
Full disclosure: I am a huge Lesley Pearse fan so it’s pretty much a given I will love her books (and this is book 28!). I found Liar to be a real page-turning read.
🤥
Our protagonist is Amelia White who lives on her own in her bedsit in London. It’s 1970, flower power is done with, and Amelia is concentrating on her job at a newspaper. She wants to be a reporter but at the moment she’s only tasked with selling advertising space. However, her working life is about to take an unexpected turn when she discovers the body of a dead woman and because it was her discovery she is allowed to write about it for the paper.
🤥
This is only the start for Amelia, though, as she finds herself in all sorts of difficult situations. If at times she seemed a little too good to be true, and if she did seem to get into rather too many of those difficult situations, it didn’t alter my enjoyment because this is such an engrossing story that I found myself completely immersed in.
🤥
Pearse is a consummate storyteller, weaving together the sensational and the ordinary to create a really great domestic noir/murder mystery. Amelia is such a likeable heroine and I so wanted her to escape her past and make a new life for herself. She turns amateur detective, delving into her own investigations into who killed the woman. This steps up a gear when the killer strikes again. The ending was not a total surprise as I’d started to get an inkling as to who it might be but not until much later on in the story and after the author had already led me down a different path. It was a really cleverly executed denouement.
🤥
Once again Lesley Pearse has written a fabulous tale which had me hooked from page one. Liar is a delight to read, full of her customary compassion and warmth.
🤥
