"Astonishing. The Art of a Lie is Laura Shepherd-Robinson at the height of her considerable powers. Of course it's beautifully written and richly detailed, but it's also fiendishly twisting and properly thrilling. A rare and wonderful story." --Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author
In 18th-century England, a widowed confectioner is drawn into a web of love, betrayal, intrigue, and a battle of wits in this "twisty" (Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author) historical novel from the author of the USA TODAY bestseller The Square of Sevens.
London 1749: Following the murder of her husband in a violent street robbery, Hannah Cole is struggling to turn a profit at her confectionary shop on Piccadilly as her suppliers conspire to put her out of business.
So when she learns that her husband had a large sum of money in his bank account, the surprise is, at first, extremely welcome. But her financial windfall attracts the attention of author-turned-magistrate Henry Fielding, who believes the money might have been acquired through ill-gotten means and seeks to confiscate it.
Endeavoring to prove otherwise, Hannah enlists the help of William Devereux, a friend of her late husband, who also tells her about a new Italian delicacy called "iced cream," which she believes might transform the fortunes of her shop. As she and Devereux delve into the mysteries of her husband's double life in Georgian London's gambling dens, Hannah unravels secrets even more devastating than his murder.
