Adult Book Group 02/07

Join us for our Adult Book Group - Thursday 2 July, 7-8:00 pm Tickets £8.00/£17.00 (includes a glass of fizz) We’ll be relaxing into summer with our July adult book group read, Laura Shepherd-Robinson’s inventive 18th century historical crime novel, The Art of a Lie. When Hannah Cole’s husband is murdered, her life is upended and she must battle to save her confectionery shop, The Punchbowl and Pineapple, from ruin. But his life was riddled with secrets, including a hidden fortune, and magistrate Henry Fielding (the celebrated author of The History of Tom Jones) is deeply suspicious. When William Devereaux, a friend of her late husband’s, appears can his motives be trusted? Hannah must draw on every scrap of wit and resourcefulness she possesses if she is to prevail. Critical acclaim for The Art of a Lie: A novel of suspense whose artfulness echoes the elegance, imagination, wit and ruthlessness that Georgian craftsmen (and women) excelled in – The Spectator This deliciously devious tale of skulduggery, questionable motives and untrustworthy appearances will keep you gripped – Daily Mail You can order your copy of The Art of a Lie from The Little Bookshop when you book your place and receive a 15% discount (£9.99 RRP). Booking is essential, online or at the bookshop. Please note the adult book group will take a summer break in August but we’ll be back on Thursday 3 September.
