A Few Little Lies

by Sue Welfare

Sue Welfare’s first novel of modern manners, now available in A format and in highly successful series style There are two ways to make sex pay. One is illegal and the other can land you in a whole lot of trouble. When writer Dora Hall’s erotic novels become successful, her agent decides to cash in with a promotional tour. Unfortunately Dora’s career is her best-kept secret, and so she is delighted when he hires a glamorous stand-in. Predatory blonde Lillian Bliss fulfils everyone’s criteria; she’s a walking sexual adventure, lapping up media attention and making it all look wonderfully simple – until she starts to deviate from Dora’s carefully written script. Chaos descends upon the small Norfolk town, local celebrities and politicians scrabble frantically to hide their seedy pasts and Dora’s cover is completely blown. What began with a few little lies turns into a spectacular slice of mayhem in this wickedly witty and warm debut from a tremendously talented writer.

This was a great story that had me trying to work out the ending until the end. I was totally engrossed in the story. The characters were great and realistic. I actually couldn't put it down. I'm so glad that I found this book on libby.

It’s a good book with humour and good characters but I DNF because the story was dragging on.

I only really read this book as I noticed it was set in Norfolk - my home county. From the blurb I didn't really expect too much and I was right. It was comical in a few places but it really did stretch the imagination a bit far for a simple chick-lit novel!
