Nora Roberts
The Liar
Synopsis
Shelby Pomeroy’s husband Richard dies unexpectedly, devastating her. However it soon becomes clear that she didn’t really know him at all. He leaves her in a considerable amount of debt, and she decides to return to her family home. Unfortunately not everyone is happy to see her come back, and things quickly spiral beyond her control.
Review
Roberts creates a mix of quick moving thriller, and romance folded with quite a few scenes of happy family life. I don’t know how accurate the picture of life in the Southern state of Tennessee is, as I have no first hand knowledge of that part of the USA, however it is full of vibrant descriptions.
The relationship that unfolds between Griffin Lott, and Shelby when she returns to Tennessee, is reasonably believable, and the connection that Roberts establishes between Griffin and Shelby’s daughter is a very sweet one.

I'm a thirty something woman who lives in the north of England. I have been a writer for as long as I can remember, creating stories both written and verbal since childhood. While studying at Edge Hill College, I got several poems published by a small publisher in the USA, and in Europe. I have been part of several writing groups, and done quite a few courses in a attempt to hone my writing skills further. I love reading different genres of fiction, knowing that the best way to develop my own writing, and my vocabulary is by exposing myself to the different ways that other people choose to describe things.
The most recent writing course that I've been part of, run by a published author, included a exercise in which we were challenged to read things that we would never usually even look at.
It inspired me to take up a challenge. Namely to attempt to read at least one book by every author which is stocked in my local library. I soon realised that I was being far too ambitious, especially given the fact that every library rotates their stock too often for me to keep track.
I've decided to instead attempt to read a book every day, starting with a author whose surname begins with A, and ending with a author whose surname begins with Z. It doesn't matter what the topic of the book is, or if it's fiction or non fiction, everything is useful for me at the minute.
