Almost the Whole Truth

On the 22nd of February 2019, Alice Mildmay’s boyfriend Freddie Bradley dumps her for Kate Power, the star of hit TV show Murder and Miss Manners.

18 days later, Kate is found dead in her home in the sleepy Cotswolds village they all live in.

21 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. Alice is in a race against the air date of each new release to work out who really killed Kate, because all Tom’s evidence is pointing towards Alice. Can she prove her innocence before the final episode, or will she become a victim herself?

About Robin Stevens

Robin Stevens was born in California and grew up in an Oxford college, across the road from the house where Alice in Wonderland lived. She has been making up stories all her life.

When she was twelve, her father handed her a copy of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and she realised that she wanted to be either Hercule Poirot or Agatha Christie when she grew up. She spent her teenage years at Cheltenham Ladies' College, reading a lot of murder mysteries and hoping that she'd get the chance to do some detecting herself (she didn't). She went to university, where she studied crime fiction, and then she worked at a children's publisher.

Robin is now a full-time author and the creator of the internationally award-winning and bestselling Murder Most Unladylike series, starring Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong, and the brand-new Ministry of Unladylike Activity. She still hopes she might get the chance to do some detecting of her own one day. She lives in England.
