The Secret Thread

Available to pre-order now - the page-turning and spellbinding new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Midnight Hour . . .
Even the darkest secrets unravel in time . . .
Mimi Caswell, style icon and interiors queen, is famously private, her life shrouded in mystery - until she sensationally announces she's quitting Manhattan for London, selling off her legendary estate, and staging a confessional my-life-in-objects auction.
Her new assistant, Jo, carries a secret of her own. As she unpicks Mimi's glamorous life - and the stories behind each beautiful possession - she begins to expose what Mimi kept hidden: humble beginnings, an estranged sister, a shattering death at a country house party long ago. And a secret thread woven through it all - a far darker version of events that could upend everything.
Will Jo reveal the truth, before the auctioneer's hammer falls?
