Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Currently topping the Richard & Judy hit parade, Rosamund Lupton's highly charged domestic thriller centres around the close bond between two highly intuitive sisters.
When New York-based designer, Beatrice, gets a call in the middle of Sunday lunch to say that her younger sister, Tess, has gone missing, she boards the first plane back to London.
Framed as a letter from Beatrice to Tess, the facts of Tess's disappearance and the following investigation into her probable murder are drip-fed to the reader, as are details from their difficult childhood.
Lupton's crisp insights into grief and familial guilt are married to a confidently executed plot. Free from the genre's more mawkish excesses, Lupton's persuasive narrative voice is what keeps this classy debut on track.
