Book Review: Envy by Coleen Nolan

Posted By Leah on July 2nd, 2010

TV favourite Karen King has been having a difficult time of late. She caught her husband of twenty years, Jason, cheating on her, before he left to shack with the girl in question, and although her presenter job on Girl Talk is going well and she believes that her four co-presenters will always be there for her, she’s about to be in for a huge shock.

When it’s announced that Helen England, anchor of Channel 6′s Good Morning Britain, is to leave, the Girl Talk girls are suddenly pitted against each other in a bid to all try and land the job. But in the cut-throat, dog-eat-dog, world of TV presenting, can Karen rise above it all to come out on top, or will one of her co-presenters beat her to it?

Book Cover: Sidney Sheldon’s After The Darkness by Tilly Bagshawe

Posted By Leah on July 2nd, 2010

Tilly Bagshawe’s second “Sidney Sheldon” book Sidney Sheldon’s After The Darkness is out on 5th August 2010 and the cover has finally been released. I’ve no idea how the books work - if Sidney Sheldon made the plot before he died and then Tilly Bagshawe wrote it - but it certainly sounds interesting. Here’s the synopsis:

Grace Brookstein is the beautiful, young, and naive wife of financial superstar, Leonard Brookstein; a billionaire many times over with estates all over the world. In 2009 the US stock market goes into a terrifying freefall. The economy is on the brink of collapse, and the public want someone to blame, their eyes and their rage directed firmly at Wall Street. Oblivious and seemingly unscathed, Grace continues her charmed life, until the death of Lenny in a tragic sailing ‘accident’ forces her to face reality. His financial affairs unravel, revealing expensive crimes, and now Grace is in the frame. Untangling a spiralling web of vicious lies and well-planned deceit, Grace soon puts her own life in danger. She is alone, angry, and desperate for revenge.
