Almost the Whole Truth - Large Print by Robin Stevens (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A village bookseller finds her quiet life in the Cotswolds turned upside-down by a true crime podcast that casts her as the villain in a grisly murder from her past--a thrilling novel from the award-winning author of the Murder Most Unladylike series.

On February 22nd, Alice Mildmay, a Cotswolds bookseller, is dumped by her boyfriend Freddie Bradley for Kate Power, the star of the hit TV show Murder and Miss Masters.

Eighteen days later, Kate is found dead in her home in the sleepy village they all call home.

Twenty-one days later, Freddie is arrested for her murder. He's found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.

And four years later, journalist Tom Fitch releases the first episode of a podcast that he claims will exonerate Freddie...and reveal the real killer.

In a novel told through prose, letters, transcripts, and text messages, Almost the Whole Truth follows Alice as she finds herself in a race against time to work out who really killed Kate, because all of Tom's evidence seems to be pointing towards her. Can she prove her innocence before the final episode? And if Freddie is innocent, then who killed Kate?

She went to university, where she studied crime fiction, and then worked at a children's publisher. Robin is now a full-time author who lives in London with her husband and her pet bearded dragon, Watson.
