This Month’s Book

The Art of a Lie by Laura Shepherd-Robinson

An Instant Sunday Times Bestseller
A BBC Radio 2 Book Club Pick of the Summer

Astonishing. A rare and wonderful story — Chris Whitaker

Fiendishly clever and completely gripping — Jennie Godfrey

London, 1749.

Hannah Cole’s world shatters with her husband’s brutal murder. Her confectionery shop, the Punchbowl and Pineapple, teeters on the brink of ruin.

Just as she uncovers a hidden fortune – money her husband secretly possessed – a new nightmare begins.

Magistrate Henry Fielding, the renowned author, suspects illicit gains. To save her inheritance, her shop and her very reputation, Hannah must delve into her late husband’s secret life. But, as she unearths a labyrinth of lies and deceit, she finds herself entangled in a battle of wits far more dangerous than she could ever have imagined.

From Sunday Times bestselling author Laura Shepherd-Robinson comes a twisty, immersive thriller where the truth is a luxury that Hannah Cole can’t afford and every secret is a step closer to her own undoing.

A twisty confection as subtle and delicious as one of Hannah’s iced creams. I loved it — Ruth Ware

[Laura Shepherd-Robinson’s] best yet, and I don’t say that lightly — Harriet Tyce
