What to expect

Don’t miss Sarah Clarke’s gripping new thriller, MY PERFECT FRIEND. Out now!

‘Tense, suspenseful and an amazing ending. One of the best books I have read this year.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

SOME TRUTHS CAN’T BE TOLD.

I had the perfect life – a nice house, a loving husband, a beautiful little boy.

But in one devastating night, they were all ripped from me.

It's been fourteen years, and I’m finally ready to face the past.

I’m taking my son back.

He just can’t know who I am…or why we were torn apart.

A nail-biting thriller packed with twists and turns, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Shalini Boland.
