Lies that poison- Amanda Fleet-5*  

Tom has just moved into a new cottage and is having some building work done to complete his cookery school. His neighbours are Alys and Hannah who don’t have a good word to say about each other- Hannah constantly says Alys poisons people- “just look in her garden”. Hannah being elderly sometimes lives in a world of her own. She also calls Tom “Edward” and accuses him of a murder that happened before he was even born. Tom finds he wants to get to the bottom of this to restore the peace. Carys finds out that her boyfriend Rob is selling cut drugs which are making users ill and goes to report him. A brilliant story that I didn’t want to put down. I would have read the whole thing in one sitting if I could. Excellent believable characters (I really liked Tom) and a plot that you think you know what’s happening but…..I won’t spoil it. I very much look forward to more from this author. I don’t give 5* very easily and this one deserves it in spades. Stunning. I voluntarily chose to read this ARC and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased
