Novel Kicks Book Club: The Guilty Couple by C.L. Taylor

Welcome back to the Novel Kicks Book Club.

Hello September.

The beginning of the ‘ber’ months is upon us. Although I am shifting to Autumn in my head, we are due another heatwave here in the UK apparently. Whether the weather is giving us warmth or showing us rain, there is always an excuse to settle down with a book. I am hoping you’ll enjoy this month’s book club pick.

The Guilty Couple by C.L. Taylor.

I have long been a fan of this author but am yet to read this novel from 2022. I can’t wait to get started. It sounds amazing.

So, how does our book club work?

It’s fully online so there is no reason to move from the comfortable spot you find yourself in to read. You can also join the discussion at any time in the month – whether you’ve already read it or, like me, will be reading it for the first time. I have put a question in the comments below to start the conversation.

I look forward to talking about this book with you.

About The Guilty Couple – 

What would you do if your husband framed you for murder?

Five years ago, Olivia Sutherland was convicted of plotting to murder her husband.

Now she’s finally free, Olivia has three goals. Repair her relationship with her daughter. Clear her name. And bring down her husband – the man who framed her.

Just how far is she willing to go to get what she wants? And how far will her husband go to stop her?

Because his lies run deeper than Olivia could ever have imagined – and this time it’s not her freedom that’s in jeopardy, but her life…

The Guilty Couple was published by Avon Books in June 2022. Click to buy on Amazon UK, Amazon US, Barnes & Noble and Waterstones. 

About C.l. Taylor – 

C. L. Taylor is the author of eleven adult thrillers and has had nine Sunday Times bestsellers during her stellar career. She is the recipient of four Nielsen Silver Bestseller Awards, and her books have been translated into 30 languages.

Fascinated by human behaviour, C L. Taylor studied a BSc Psychology at Northumbria University. After she graduated she sat at an electric typewriter and tried – and failed – to write a novel about loneliness, inspired by what she’d learned.

Thirty years – and many books – later, she was awarded an honorary doctorate from her alma mater in recognition of her literary career. But the themes of that abandoned first novel had never left her. She sat down at a laptop and told the story she’d always wanted to write.

Notes on an Obsession is published in 2027.

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
