The Secret Thread

Mimi Caswell, style icon and interiors queen, is famously private, her life shrouded in mystery – until she sensationally announces she's quitting Manhattan for London, selling off her legendary estate, and staging a confessional my-life-in-objects auction.

Her new assistant, Jo, carries a secret of her own. As she unpicks Mimi’s glamorous life – and the stories behind each beautiful possession – she begins to expose what Mimi kept hidden: humble beginnings, an estranged sister, a shattering death at a country house party long ago. And a secret thread woven through it all – a far darker version of events that could upend everything.

Will Jo reveal the truth, before the auctioneer’s hammer falls?
