JP Delaney, author of Believe Me

A struggling actor, a Brit in America without a green card, Claire needs work and money to survive. Then she gets both. But nothing like she expected. Claire agrees to become a decoy for a firm of divorce lawyers. Hired to entrap straying husbands, she must catch them on tape with their seductive propositions. The rules? Never hit on the mark directly. Make it clear you’re available, but he has to proposition you, not the other way around. The firm is after evidence, not coercion. The innocent have nothing to hide. Then the game changes.

Believe Me by JP Delaney

August 2018

I loved JP Delaney’s THE GIRL BEFORE (I still want to see the house he wrote about there), so I looked forward to reading BELIEVE ME.

Here, the protagonist is a young woman from the UK named Claire Wright, who is a struggling actor, living in New York without a green card. She freelances as a decoy for a group of lawyers; her role is to try to seduce husbands whose wives think they are cheating. Tables twist when one of the women who hired her is found dead, and it’s one brutal crime. Claire is enlisted to help find the murderer, but as she assumes this role, what is going on here? Who is really the suspect?

Week of July 22, 2019

Paperback releases for the week of July 22nd include VERSES FOR THE DEAD by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, which finds FBI Agent Pendergast reluctantly teaming up with a new partner to investigate a rash of Miami Beach murders...only to uncover a deadly conspiracy that spans decades; JP Delaney's BELIEVE ME, a twisty psychological thriller in which an actress plays both sides of a murder investigation; TONY'S WIFE by Adriana Trigiani, a spellbinding saga set in the lush Big Band era of the 1940s and World War II, which tells the story of two talented working class kids who marry and become a successful singing act, until time, temptation, and the responsibilities of home and family derail their dreams; and ANOTHER KIND OF MADNESS, Stephen P. Hinshaw's deeply personal memoir calling for an end to the dark shaming of mental illness.
