In conversation with LAURA SHEPHERD-ROBINSON

The historical crime author talks to Zoe West
-
Known for her historical thrillers set in 18th-century England, Laura Shepherd-Robinson worked in politics for nearly 20 years before embarking on a career as a novelist. Her award-winning debut novel, Blood & Sugar, was followed by two more highly acclaimed books, earning bestseller status. Her latest book, The Art of a Lie, is a historical cat-and-mouse thriller. Set in 1749 London, widowed confectioner Hannah Cole battles societal prejudice and financial ruin after her husband's murder. But a mysterious fortune, a charming stranger and the allure of 'iced cream' offer hope, despite the secrets that threaten everything.
