Lesley Pearse is one of the UK's best-loved novelists. she is a storyteller and a master of gripping storylines that keep the reader hooked from beginning to end, Pearse introduces you to characters that it is impossible not to care about or forget. There is no formula to her books or easily defined genre. Whether crime as in 'Till We Meet Again', show more historical adventure like 'Never Look Back', or the passionately emotive 'Trust Me', based on the true-life scandal of British child migrants sent to Australia in the post war period, she engages the reader completely. Her title Without a Trace made the New Zealand Best Seller List in 2015. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
