by Fergus McNeill

Everyone bends the truth sometimes. But little lies can lead to big problems. And with a dead body involved, maybe dishonesty isn't the best policy.

About the author

Fergus McNeill has been creating computer games since the early eighties, when he started writing interactive fiction titles. Over the following years he became well-known in the industry, both for his own content, and his adaptations of other authors’ material, including working with Terry Pratchett to create the first Discworld game.
Moving from interactive fiction to interactive movie adaptations, Fergus set up and managed the development studio for SCi (now Eidos) where he co-wrote and directed voiceover scripts for a number of games including the award-winning Kingdom O’ Magic.
Now CEO at an iPhone game development studio, Fergus lives in Hampshire. He is 43, married, with a teenage son. Eye Contact is his debut novel, and the first of a three-book series.

Reviews

[Cheryl · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a 3.5 star read.

I received a copy of this book for free from the author via a giveaway. I have voluntarily chosen to review the book, and the gifting in no way determines my review/rating, which reflects my honest opinion.

A new author for me, this short story tells the tale of William, who is a compulsive liar. What starts out as a few lies to make his social standing better, in order to seduce a female, devolves into a steadily accumulating series of lies resulting in a dead body. And he's not the only one lying.
An entertaining, thought provoking read that is part of the author's Detective Harlan series.
