'Smart about social trends and slyly funny… naughtily subverting the Richard Osman formula' The Times

‘Tense, clever and bitingly observed. Superb’ Claire Douglas

‘You won’t know who to trust in this tense, twisty delight of a thriller – with a wonderfully compelling narrator who discovers that trying to do the right thing can sometimes go very, very wrong' TM Logan, author of The Daughter and The Holiday

‘Brilliantly crafted with characters that will move into your mind, and stay with you in all the very best ways. Sensationally entertaining, I could not put it down’

Her secrets will be the death of you.

It’s rare for a room in beautiful, iconic Columbia Mansions to be up for grabs and Gwen is thrilled when its new occupant Pixie turns out to be the most delightful neighbour she could have wished for. Before long the two women have formed an unlikely age-gap friendship and Gwen is making herself useful to Pixie in all kinds of ways.

But when a crime comes to light Gwen’s protective instincts go into overdrive, igniting an appetite for revenge that none of the residents are prepared for.

The last thing they need in Columbia Mansions is a scandal.

The last thing they want is a murder.
