But lies have a way of taking on a life of their own, and when his do, the consequences threaten to destroy everything. For him and Claire.

Claire Daniels has everything she wants. A loving husband, a fantastic career, great friends and family. All she needs to complete her perfect life is a baby.
Alfie Daniels’ life is a world away from his wife Claire’s. True. He has everything that a man could possibly want. A beautiful wife, a lovely home..
Expect that he doesn’t... want it. Any of it.
Alfie hates his life, it is all built on lies. An ex jobbing musician, who fell only for his wife’s wealth, Alfie is desperate to end his marriage in any way that he can, without losing everything.
After all, he’s worked hard to get where he is.
Alfie thinks that he has it all worked out, the perfect plan to fix all of his problems and allow him to start enjoying his life again. As with most things in Alfie’s life, this plan is dependant on a little stretching of the truth.
The problem with lies is, that they complicate everything, and very often take on a life of their own, and signal the beginning of the end.
The Last Lie is a novel that will probably leave you infuriated at and cheering on both of its main protagonists at some point, whilst wanting to pull your hair out and shout at them... a great read.
The Last Lie is available now via Amazon online and all good book shops.
