White Lies and Custard Creams - a novel (light-hearted entertainment)

Description

WHITE LIES AND CUSTARD CREAMS - a novel co-starring a Border Collie (natch)

(You can see in the photos the brilliant quote that Jill Mansell (internationally best-selling author) has given me for this book. I'm pretty chuffed with it).

The blurb on the back of the book says this:

All Liz Houston wants is to keep her head above the financial white waters of her life. Somehow, though, other people, including ex-husband Hugh, repeatedly get in the way.

Hugh just wants a quiet life and to be there for the people he cares about. Caring about Liz does not lead to a quiet life…

Moocher, Liz’s Border Collie, wants to be where all the crumbs are; he wants to keep all his paws, but most of all he wants to keep Liz company as she rides the rapids of her life.

Add in odd-shoe-wearing lodger Simon, Git-next-door, a lost brother, an illicit fortune stashed away decades ago, a trio of part-time thugs, kidnappings, a tree-climbing tortoise and a dog-flap with a story of its own, and it becomes apparent that a few white lies (and custard creams) between friends are the least of Liz’s problems.

My first review:

Wow! One of the best books I have read in ages!I couldn't stop reading from beginning to end! This story has it all- warm wit, humor, romance, & quirky characters -all centered around an action packed, riveting tale that is sure to please right up until the very end! I absolutely will highly recommend this book to all of my friends and family! Hats off to Susan Alison on this one! I can't wait for more books from this talented author!

What a great gift for Christmas - some escapist froth to keep the world's miseries at bay for a few hours. Or, why not treat yourself?

If you wish, you can have the book signed by the author (that's me! heh) - in which case, make it clear what you want it to say.

It's quite expensive to send books through the post I'm discovering, so there is an option to have it sent a slower way, which then costs less (but not as much less as I'd have expected). Anyway, the choice is yours. The slower way takes between 2 and 8 weeks to get to you and costs $5.15 instead of the $9.55 in the listing for the faster way.
