The author’s rendering of the period is delicate and understated, creating the ideal context to allow the ensuing events to occur without ever dominating the focus of the novel. With true friendship overcoming adversity and goodness overcoming evil the characters are all well thought out, it has a great story line and even a few twists that I didn’t see coming. The ending was a nice reminder of the true value of friendship and the strength of the human spirit.

Exchanging Valentines can be an awkward process, especially when you consider “Vinegar Valentines” and other snarky sentiments - whatever your tastes, enjoy the sweet and sour cards alike in this gallery! This is a typical Lesley Pearse book as she weaves the story and the characters through the course of their lives taking us along on an emotional roller-coaster. Popular British novelist Lesley Pearse is back with her 24th novel, a historical saga set in a time period spanning eight years, from 1935 in Dead to Me.Her stepfather has embezzled his works company and leaves Verity and her mother to rely on her Aunt Hazel for a roof over their heads. This is fairly long book at 512 pages, but it certainly never felt like it, as I found Dead To Me to be a compelling read, yes some parts of the story were predictable, but this in no way distracted from my enjoyment of this novel. Mais uma boa aposta desta autora inglesa, ficando a aguardar as novas publicações dos livros ainda não traduzidos.

A prequel to the hit TV series Scott and Bailey, and a chillingly authentic story of murder and hunting killers on the mean streets of Manchester. The daughter of a minor, aging starlet and the head of publicity at Insignia Pictures, her life is that of an average, if privileged, teenager.

I absolutely throughly enjoyed reading Dead to Me, I went through every emotion from sad to happiness, Lesley has a fantastic writing style that I just love, the storyline and characters of the story was just perfect! What this girl knows could shut down a criminal syndicate and put Annie’s attacker behind bars – if Alice can find her first.

She gave her child up to the care system, only to lose her again, and is convinced that the drug-pusher boyfriend is to blame. There's a reason Lesley Pearse has sold over 10 million copies worldwide of the 23 books she has written and that is quite simply because she is a superb storyteller that never ever disappoints. A wife, husband and supposed best friend are all harboring secrets with a twisted and convoluted relationship in Sandie Jones’s The First Mistake.

She is my absolute favourite author and with this new book she has only reaffirmed all the good things I constantly say about her and all the recommendations of her back catalogue I make to friends. Having been reared on movies like The Maltese Falcon and Murder, My Sweet as an adolescent, film noir is a subject that has always been near and dear to my heart. Lesley Pearse will take you on a journey through a Blitz-ravaged England, as the population is yet again under the siege of war. What did the deceased have to hide and who was so intent on keeping their own secrets that they were prepared to brutally kill to do so? New readers will delight in this read and eagerly reach for another book in Lesley's extensive repertoire.
