Description
In Claire Douglas's gripping new thriller, The Family Friend, the past collides with the present in a web of secrets and haunting memories. When Imogen learns she has inherited a country house near Bath, her initial disbelief soon turns to curiosity. The last time she encountered its owner, the enigmatic artist Dorothea Roe, was during a fateful summer sixteen years ago—a summer that irrevocably altered her life.
The Story
Imogen, seeking a fresh start with her partner Josh, arrives at the sprawling estate, only to unearth an old box bearing her name. Inside lie relics of a forgotten past, stirring up long-buried emotions and unanswered questions. As she delves deeper into the mysteries of the house and Dorothea's life, Imogen must confront the shadows of her own history and the chilling reality that some secrets refuse to stay buried.
