Description
A thrilling exploration of lies, deception and trust from the 10-million-copy, No. 1 bestselling author.
Liar follows Amelia White, who always dreamed of being a reporter...
And it might never have happened if she hadn't stumbled on a young woman's body. Horrified at the lies being spread about this murder victim, Amelia talks a newspaper editor into letting her tell the true story.
Yet when more bodies turn up, it's clear the police are baffled. Uncovering new witnesses as well as suspects in her search for clues, Amelia realises that the only way to stop the murders is to find the liar among them. But will doing so make her the killer's next victim?

About the Author
International bestselling author Lesley Pearse has lived a life as rich with incidents, setbacks and joys as any found in her novels. By the mid sixties she was living in London, sharing flats, partying hard and married to a trumpet player in a jazz-rock band. She has also worked as a nanny and a Playboy bunny, and designed and made clothes to sell to boutiques. It was only after having three daughters that Lesley began to write. She published her first book at forty-nine and has not looked back since. Lesley is still a party girl.
