About Last Night

By: Adele Parks

Narrated by: Clare Corbett

She thought it would be just one lie…How far would you go to save your best friend?

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Just My Luck and Both Of You, this is a twisty, gripping novel of friendship and lies…

'I need you to say that I was with you.'

For thirty years, best friends Steph and Pip have been through thick and thin. There's nothing they would not do for one another. Until these simple words change everything.

Steph, eternally solid and dependable, is begging her friend to lie to the police as she's desperately trying to conceal not one but two devastating secrets to protect her family.

Pip, self-consigned to the role of scatty hot-head, is overwhelmed; she's normally the one asking for help in a crisis. It's a big ask. So what would you do?

'It touches on situations between close friends and relationships in a way that I've never read before. The pace of the story is spot on, the words flow beautifully'

'A true test of friendship – I found myself questioning my own relationships. The plot had me gripped from beginning until the end. I would recommend this to all of my friends'
