Set against the glittering, smoke-and-mirrors backdrop of the 1950s variety theatre scene, the novel chronicles a sinister trail of deception that connects a murdered theatrical impresario to a cast of performers each harbouring their own dangerous truths.\n\nGriffiths, celebrated for her meticulous atmospheric construction and finely drawn characters, weaves together dual timelines and dual heroines with the precision of a master illusionist, illuminating themes of identity, performance, and the masks people wear to survive. Her signature blend of cosy wit and genuine menace keeps the reader perpetually off-balance — a sleight of hand that leaves you questioning every revelation right up to the final, stunning page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130603086043,"sku":"2026200009963-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/676be90d-e53d-47f5-b3db-4bd911c4178e.png?v=1786587302","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009963-secondhand-the-great-deceiver-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
