Five Friends, One Funeral

Six friends once believed loyalty meant never turning on one another. Twenty years later, investigative writer Hannah Bell is dead, and the five women left behind have returned to Greyhaven for her funeral. Each receives a sealed letter. Each letter exposes a different piece of the night an old foundation office burned-and the lie that shattered their friendship.

A storm closes the roads around Hannah's coastal house. Then someone searches the rooms for evidence Hannah hid before her death. When a second death turns grief into immediate danger, editor Eleanor Ward must decide which memories can be trusted, which friend is still protecting the past, and whether telling the truth now can undo any part of the harm silence caused.

Atmospheric and character-driven, Five Friends, One Funeral is a closed-circle mystery about loyalty, guilt, and the stories people choose when the truth feels impossible to survive. For readers who enjoy tense reunions, buried secrets, coastal settings, and suspense driven as much by relationships as by clues. Everyone came to say goodbye. Someone came to hide the truth.
