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 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 friendship. I’m already saying, ‘More Heather, please.’”—Julia Heaberlin, author of We Are All the Same in the Dark
“A heady, tense, intoxicating tale that lurches between the miseries of obsession and the thrills of revenge.”—Elisabeth Thomas, author of Catherine House
“Compelling, twisty and surprising, with an intriguing and complex heroine.”—Phoebe Wynne, author of Madam
