Precious Thing by Colette McBeth

A missing friend unsettles a lifetime of shared memories

Very Good Condition - Light cover scuffing, minor edge/corner wear and browned page edges.

Rachel and Clara became inseparable at school, when Rachel was isolated and Clara offered the friendship she badly needed. Years later, their circumstances have reversed: Rachel appears successful, while Clara's life has grown increasingly unstable. When Clara disappears, Rachel is forced to question the past they shared and the assumptions she has made about the person closest to her. What first looks like concern for a friend becomes a more disturbing examination of loyalty, dependence and hidden resentment. Colette McBeth's psychological thriller explores the ways a friendship can shape an identity, using conflicting memories and concealed motives to reveal how little certainty even a long relationship may provide.
