Little Liar was one of those submissions I knew I had to stop everything for and read. Clare’s writing had me on a knife-edge, reading with my heart in my mouth through every nail-biting page. It’s is an extraordinary book that delivers on every possible level and I know Clare has a very exciting career ahead of her.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the deal.
