Book Description
"Wealth, celebrity, sexuality and a tangled web of secrets. . . . Oh boy, what a mix. And it works. . . . It was my first introduction to this writer and I'll be coming back for more."— Irish Examiner
"A fine piece of writing . . . a powerful talent . . . a tough, poignant book."— Guardian (UK)
"Highly entertaining . . . offers a salutary corrective to the airbrushed picture presented by the Hollywood publicity machine."— Daily Mail
They say the truth matters. Not in Hollywood, it doesn't. In Hollywood you need to lie because Hollywood doesn't need lesbians. That's the deal, and Yana Ivanova is Hollywood's biggest star. So Yana Ivanova has a boyfriend called Jimmy. And a personal assistant called Penny. But hey, they live in a very glamorous closet.
But then letters start to arrive. From a writer who knows the truth. Yana fears blackmail, but she is terrified of bad publicity. And she clearly has a lot to lose.
And soon there's an accident—or maybe it's murder. Not that it matters—this is Hollywood. And more than anything else, the show must go on. All anyone expects—from other people, and even from themselves—is what Hollywood needs: Parallel Lies .
Stella Duffy is an acclaimed writer of both crime fiction and literary fiction. She has won the Short Story Dagger Award, and she was named Stonewall Writer of the Year in 2008.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A riveting thriller, Jan 7 2011
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Parallel Lies (Paperback)
Secrets can kill. "Parallel Lies" tells the story of Yana Ivanova, a big Hollywood star with many things in the closet, including herself. When someone learns that her personal assistant is more than just a friend to her, she is dragged into a plot that is boiling with murder, blackmail, and trying to keep the truth under wraps for her career. A riveting thriller, "Parallel Lies" is a fun read for anyone, although it is aimed at Gay and Lesbian readers.

Parallel Lies, Dec 28 2011
By Toni Fox - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Parallel Lies (Paperback)
This was the most tedious book I have read in a long time. I forced myself to finish only because I spent the money to buy it. The plot dragged and left me resentful of the ending. The characters lacked depth and were stereotypical.
Listmania!
