The Companion

A SUNDAY TIMES BEST CRIME BOOK OF 2022

In a grand old mansion in the middle of the Sussex countryside, seven people have seen more than they should. The new chilling thriller from Lesley Thomson.

In a small community
James Ritchie was looking forward to spending the day with his son, though he was a little late picking him up from his ex-wife, Anna.

In the middle of nowhere
Later that afternoon, they are found dead, the victims of a double stabbing. Anna will never see her family again.

You need to keep your secrets close.
As DI Toni Kemp unravels the case, she is brought to a grand country mansion, long ago converted into flats. In this quiet, peaceful place, seven long-term residents have seen more than they should.

But this is a tight-knit group – and they are good at keeping secrets.
