We are delighted to welcome best selling author Laura Shepherd-Robinson for an evening of thrilling historical fiction in 18th-Century London!
Laura will be in conversation with The Book Nook's Sara Morley, talking about her latest book, The Art of a Lie: A Gripping Historical Thriller of Murder and Deceit in 18th-Century London. Laura will be talking about the book, taking questions from the audience as well as signing copies of the book.
About The Book: The Art of a Lie: Following the murder of her husband in what looks like a violent street robbery, Hannah Cole is struggling to keep her head above water. Her confectionery shop on Piccadilly is barely turning a profit, her suppliers conspiring to put her out of business because they don’t like women in trade. Henry Fielding, the famous author and new magistrate, is threatening to confiscate the money in her husband’s bank account, because he believes it might be illicitly acquired. And even those who claim to be Hannah’s friends have darker intent.
