About this ebook
Pre-order the most shocking, twisty Thorne and Tanner thriller yet, WHAT THE NIGHT BRINGS, out June 2025. It's always the ones you trust the most . . .
__________
THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER
You never know who's watching . . .
Every Monday evening, six people gather in a smart North London house to talk about addiction. There they share their deepest secrets: stories of lies, regret, and above all, shame.
Then one of them is killed - and it's clear one of the circle was responsible.
Detective Inspector Nicola Tanner quickly finds her investigation hampered by the strict confidentiality that binds these people and their therapist together. So what could be shameful enough to cost someone their life?
And how do you find the truth when denial and deception are second nature to all of your suspects?

Excellent book, really well written, love how all the little sub plots got all tied up at the end of the story too, like the piano playing in the background was kind of comical in a dark sort of way, highly recommended.
