The gripping new thriller from the Number 1 Sunday Times bestseller.

When Imogen is told she's inherited a country house near Bath, she thinks it must be a mistake. She last saw its owner, reclusive artist Dorothea Roe, sixteen years ago, during a tragic summer which changed her life for ever.

Now, with partner Josh in tow, it's a chance for a fresh start.

But after discovering an old box with her name on it in Dorothea's abandoned study, Imogen starts to believe the woman was trying to send her a secret message.

And when rumours begin to swirl that Dorothea was murdered, she starts to suspect that this gift might not be the life-line she thought it was.

Who would want to kill Dorothea?

Could it be tangled up in Imogen's own dark family history?

And what if Imogen is now the one in danger?

Reviews for The Family Friend

Clever, humane, with gasp-out-loud twists, it’s a story that lingers in the mind long after the last page. -- EVE CHASE
