Seven mourners. Six confessions. Two deaths. Everyone at the funeral lied.
Milo Vale made millions making other people's scandals disappear. Now he is dead, and seven mourners have gathered at the isolated Blackthorn Hall to bury him.
During the funeral, Milo's oldest friend, Jamie Rook, sees the supposedly dead man watching through a chapel window.
Jamie follows him. Someone attacks. Then the estate locks them all inside.
Every guest receives the same message:
TELL JAMIE HOW YOU KILLED ME.
One by one, the mourners offer a different account of Milo's death. Every story should be impossible-yet the evidence appears to prove that each of them is telling the truth.
An estranged son. A former partner accused of stealing twelve million pounds. Identical twins sharing an alibi. A finance director protecting more than money. A quiet chief of staff who arranged every detail of the funeral.
Everyone has a motive. Everyone is concealing something. And Milo knew precisely how to turn their secrets against them.
Milo Vale planned his own death as one final manipulation.
But before the day is over, somebody kills him for real.
Everyone at the Funeral Lied is a sharp, twist-filled British ensemble mystery about wealth, blackmail and the dangerous difference between controlling the truth-and surviving it.
