I am so excited to be taking part in the Random Things blog
tour for The Double Life of Daisy Hemmings today. I received a copy of this
book as part of the blog tour.
The Double Life of Daisy Hemmings is set between 1988 and
2018. Daisy Hemmings is a famous actress and the time has come for her to write
her autobiography.
James Tate is chosen as the ghostwriter, his job is to tell
the story of other people’s lives. The issue is that James knows far more about
Daisy than he lets on and she knows him too. At least she knew him when he was
Jason – someone he hasn’t been for over thirty years and he is determined not
to be found out now.
The fateful summer of 1988 in Cornwall is where James first
encountered Daisy and, like most people, became entranced by her. It’s also the
summer where someone ended up dead and something that no one has talked about
since.
However, when the past catches up with James and with Daisy,
how can you tell what is the truth and what is a lie?
I love the dual timeline aspect of this book, as you feel
like you have an insider knowledge of what happened before. There are some
twists in the storyline as you watch the summer of 1988 unfold in the beautiful
setting of Cornwall.
I also love this cover.
5 stars
