Front Page Fridays Week-40
Welcome to Front Page Fridays Week-40. On Fridays I showcase the first page of a new book.
My Front Page Fridays Week-40 guest author is AA Abbott with her brand-new thriller, Lies Between Friends.
Here’s the opening:
Less than two weeks ago, I’d have told you my life was perfect.
Okay, I’d have been lying. True, my husband was rich, clever and handsome. We shared a gorgeous Victorian house in Bristol’s best district, and two adorable children. Blonde and blue-eyed like their father, eight-year-old Mary and six-year-old Tom gave me everything to live for. They still do.
But I’m not sure I’ll ever see them again.
As I watch the helicopter vanish from sight, cold tears add to the sting of a salty breeze. The beauty of the landscape, with herring gulls soaring gracefully over bright yellow gorse, means nothing to me. This island is one of the bleakest places I’ve set foot on. And even though living off-grid as a child should have equipped me to survive, I face one major obstacle.
My so-called best friend has left me alone with a killer.
About Lies Between Friends:
She can’t trust her husband. She can’t trust her friends. Can she trust herself?
Gail puts up with her toxic marriage. She accepts it’s the price of giving her kids a perfect childhood. Then her controlling husband is exposed as a fraudster, and her life falls apart.
A desperate Gail flounders to keep her family together. But she puts her faith in the wrong friends and finds herself alone on a remote island with a killer. Can she escape, or will she never see her children again?
If you like simmering secrets, puzzling murder mysteries and resourceful women turning their lives around, you’ll love AA Abbott’s tense psychological thriller.
Join Gail on her journey to freedom and buy ‘Lies Between Friends’ today!
