Radio 2 Book Club: Nicholas Searle

Simon Mayo talks to debut novelist Nicholas Searle about his book The Good Liar in the Radio 2 Book Club, plus a brand new Confession and some listeners' oldies.

Simon welcomes debut novelist Nicholas Searle to the Radio 2 Book Club, to discuss The Good Liar.

The book may well be the psychological thriller of the year! It's a life told back to front...about a man who has lied all his life.

Roy is a conman living in a leafy English suburb, about to pull off the final coup of his career. He is going to meet and woo a beautiful woman and slip away with her life savings. But who is the man behind the con and what has he had to do to survive this life of lies?

And why is this beautiful woman so willing to be his next victim? Find out what our listener reviewers think - and read the first chapter online.

Plus, we'll unleash a brand new Confession and Matt Williams will have the latest sport news.
