Novel Kicks Book Club: The Woman Who Lied by Claire Douglas

Hello September.

We have said goodbye to August (not quite sure how. It went so fast,) and we say hello to September.

When I was a child, I used to love this month because it meant I had an excuse to buy new stationary. This has no relation to the new book club pick, I just wanted to share. Haha.

This month, I have picked The Woman Who Lied by Claire Douglas.

I can’t wait to read this novel. It sounds so intriguing and I’ve heard great things about this author and her books.

I hope you join me by taking part in discussion below.

Anyone can take part in our book club, at any point in the month. Plus, you can do so from the comfort of your armchair, sofa. You get the picture.

I’ve posted a question below to kick off the discussion.

I hope to see you in the comments.

About The Woman Who Lied. 

Emilia Ward lives quietly in suburban London with her husband and two children.
Just an ordinary wife and mother. But also a bestselling crime writer.

When she starts writing her tenth Detective Miranda Moody novel, however, life takes a frightening turn: an incident straight out of one of her novels occurs in real life.

Just an unsettling coincidence, she thinks. Until it happens again.

Then someone she knows dies exactly like a victim in the book she’s still writing . . .

Why is someone doing this?

How do they know what she is writing?

And how long before Emilia and her family are next?

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.
