## About this book

From the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author Claire Douglas, The Family Friend, first in a gripping domestic thriller series, delivers a dark tale of murder and hidden secrets. When Imogen inherits a country house near Bath from the reclusive artist Dorothea Roe, whom she last saw sixteen years ago during a life-altering summer, she sees a chance for a new beginning with her partner Josh. But the inheritance stirs old ghosts.

In Dorothea’s abandoned study, Imogen finds a box with her name on it, hinting at a secret message the artist tried to send. As rumors of murder swirl, Imogen suspects the inheritance may be a trap entwined with her own dark family history. This women’s sleuth mystery fuses domestic suspense and crime as Imogen races to untangle the truth before danger closes in.
