There are lots of twists in this one for people who enjoy mysteries, and lots of other stuff for people who don't. ( ) If the name Rupert Holmes rings a bell somewhere, perhaps it’s because he was the writer and singer of that cringingly 70’s song Escape, known by most people as The Pina Colada Song. Yes, folks this is the same man. In WHERE THE TRUTH LIES, Holmes proves he has significantly more substance as a novelist than he did as a song writer. He has a deft touch with unexpected plot twists which leave the reader guessing until the very end. The story is told from the perspective of O’Connor. Somewhat disconcertingly we never find out her first name. O’Connor is very much a child of the 70’s. She drinks and smokes too much, is happy to pop pills and doesn’t mind the occasional one night stand here and there. There was something about O’Connor that didn’t feel quite right. Perhaps it was the lack of a first name or maybe it was the somewhat unemotional descriptions of sex that gave O’Connor’s voice a masculine tone to it. It’s difficult to pin down why it felt a little out of kilter. That being said, WHERE THE TRUTH LIES does capture a feeling of the time. The flashbacks to the 50’s and 60’s had a quality to it that evoked the time of the “Rat Pack”. Were Vince and Lanny based loosely on Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis? WHERE THE TRUTH LIES is also a movie which stars Kevin Bacon, Colin Firth and Alison Lohman. Apart from his skill as a writer and songwriter, Rupert Holmes has also written for television and the theatre. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Holmes has a rundown on his career and a his “semi-official” website is http://www.rupertholmes.com/home.html geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE O'Connor, a vivacious, free-spirited young journalist known for her penetrating celebrity interviews, is bent on unearthing secrets long ago buried by the handsome showbiz team of singer Vince Collins and comic Lanny Morris. These two highly desirable men, once inseparable (and insatiable, where women were concerned), were driven apart by a bizarre and unexplained death in which one of them may have played the part of murderer. As the tart-tongued, eye-catching O'Connor ventures deeper into this unsolved mystery, she finds herself compromisingly coiled around both men, knowing more about them than they realize and less than she might like, but increasingly fearful that she now knows far too much.
