Twelve-year-old Harriet is doing her best to grow up, which is not easy as her mother is permanently on medication, her father has silently moved to another city, and her serene sister rarely notices anything. All of them are still suffering from the shocking and mysterious death of her brother Robin twelve years earlier, and it seems to Harriet that the family may never recover. So, inspired by Captain Scott, Houdini and Robert Louis Stevenson, she sets out with her only friend Hely to find Robin's murderer and punish him. But what starts out as a child's game soon becomes a dark and dangerous journey into the menacing underworld of a small Mississippi town.
' The Little Friend has everything you could possibly want in a novel: vivid characterisation, brilliant observation, sly wit and an ingenious, gripping plot' Mail on Sunday
'Richly detailed and memorable... beautifully measured prose that sets the scene draws us into the extraordinary story that lingers long in the mind' Observer
'Beautifully written and immaculately crafted, it's the kind of book that wraps you up in its pages and takes you to another place... the pages turn themselves. Even though there's humour, the tension is palpable. Unputdownable' Daily Mirror
'You leave the book mesmerised by the world. You can feel the heat of that Southern summer, you can hear the porch doors clack shut... Brilliant' Irish Independent
