They say she’s a murderess. She claims she’s innocent. But Lucy has been known to tell lies …
They say she’s a murderess. She claims she’s innocent. But Lucy has been known to tell lies …
1855, New Hampshire. Lucy Blunt is set to hang for a double murder. Murderess or victim? Only Lucy knows the truth.
In the shadow of the gallows, Lucy reflects on the events that led to her bitter downfall – from the moment she arrived at the rambling Burton mansion looking for work and a better life, to the grisly murders themselves.
In a mysterious household of locked doors and forbidden affections, Lucy slips comfortably into the shadows, where she believes the indiscretions of her past will remain hidden. But when Lucy’s rising status becomes a threat to the mistress’s current companion, the delicate balance of power and loyalty begins to shift, setting into motion a brewing storm of betrayal, suspicion, and rage.
Now, with her execution looming closer, Lucy’s allies fight to have her sentence overturned as the tale she’s spinning nears its conclusion.
But how much of her story can we trust? After all, Lucy’s been known to bend the truth …
'Sarah Waters fans, welcome to your next obsession. The Companion is an elegantly written tale of beautiful lies and ugly secrets, a reminder that love’s transforming power makes not just angels, but monsters. Telling one from the other will keep you guessing until the end.'
Greer Macallister
'The Companion is a totally absorbing read – beautifully written, atmospheric, and intriguing. Kim Taylor Blakemore’s characterisation is both convincing and compelling as she evokes the gritty reality of nineteenth-century life to great effect. I loved this book.'
