Tabitha is charismatic, beautiful and intimidatingly rich. Soon Clare is sucked into her enigmatic circle of friends and their dizzying world of champagne on rooftops and summers in France.
Her new life has begun.
Then Tabitha reveals the little project they're working on, a project they need Clare's help with. And Clare can't say no.
Because they know what she did...

"The Things We Do To Our Friends is one of the best suspense debuts I've read in years. Heather Darwent's prose is startlingly lovely, like a fine, dark silk shivering on your skin. She delivers one artful tease after another until you are completely lost in this labyrinth of clever women and obsessive friendships. I'm already saying, more Heather, please."
