A Friend of the Family
A Friend of the Family

Domestic suspense with a mysterious stranger’s twist.

If you've ever wondered how a stranger might stir up the dynamics in an already frazzled family, "A Friend of the Family" could be just the read for you. Lisa Jewell has a talent for creating characters that feel like people you might actually know, all while weaving a story that holds both warmth and intrigue. It's the kind of book that promises both the comforts of family life and the thrill of unexpected drama.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Meet the Londons, a family in need of a friend. Gerry and Bernie London are proud parents of Tony, Sean, and Ned, three wayward lads whose lives have suddenly reached crisis points. Newly divorced Tony is fantasizing about someone he really shouldn't; prize-winning novelist Sean has a hot new girlfriend and a dose of writer's block; and Ned is just back from Australia, without the girl he took with him - or a clue what he's going to do with his life. If that wasn't enough for one household, the Londons also have a new lodger - a mysterious rockabilly called Gervase. Will he turn out to be a friend or foe to the family?
