Conscience Peter Scholes

Twenty people, twenty lives and thousands of thoughts with every genre crashing together. Always let your conscience be your guide. It may save your life. Things are not always as they seem. We hide our secrets by what we don't say. We often think what we can't bring ourselves to say. Every action has a consequence and so does every thought. Conscience takes you on a journey through the thoughts of twenty very ordinary individuals - individuals just like you. As we delve into the thoughts and actions of these people you cannot help but question yourself and imagine yourself in their position. How would you act? What would you think?A tragedy. A young girl has died. Was she killed or was she really saved? An angry housewife, a disorientated groom, a distraught Mum, an impatient shopkeeper, a randy husband, a lazy but caring priest, a feisty invalid and a couple of bickering pensioners. These are just a few of the characters in this tight knit thriller that bring this intricate, roller coaster of a novel alive and keep you guessing until the very end. 'Conscience' is the story of how thoughts can trigger a chain of disturbing, funny and outrageous events. And when twenty very different people are involved the consequences are frightening. As we get to know the varied and complex characters, we are sucked into a tale of mishap, misunderstanding, malice and murder. Always let your conscience be your guide.
