Win a Busy B stationery gift bundle when you pre-order The Woman Who Lied!

To celebrate the upcoming new chilling thriller from bestselling author, Claire Douglas, we are giving five lucky winners the chance to win a beautiful stationery gift bundle from Busy B! The bundle includes: the Mid Year Perfect Planner (RRP £16.99), Weekly Planner Pad in Navy Daisy (RRP £11.99) and a Pen & Pencil Set (RRP £15.99).

The Woman Who Lied is the next suspense-filled novel from Claire Douglas, author of The Couple at No. 9 and The Girls Who Disappeared. It follows Emilia Ward, 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 . . .
