I thought she was dead. Then I saw her...
Sophie and I were the best of friends. We lived together. We laughed together. We did everything together.
Now I stand in the rain outside the churchyard, hiding behind the trees. I know her family blame me for her death. They will never believe me, even if I try to explain.
And then a woman among the crowd draws my eye and I start to shake. The long strawberry blonde hair. The shape of her nose. It's Sophie.
It can't be true. But in the days that follow, when I see her again at the end of our street, when I find the photo in her empty room, when the cruel tricks start again... I'm forced to wonder:
Am I going mad, or is Sophie still alive?
And if she's still alive, what will she do to me?
A completely gripping thriller about toxic friendships that will keep you turning pages as the tension mounts. Fans of Lisa Jewell, Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley will love The Woman at the Funeral.
