"We're dying of manners. We're under siege from personal embarrassment. This is not sane. This is not rational. That woman is a monster!""
While on holiday, Peter and Debbie befriend Elsa: a lusty widow from Denver, USA. She's less than woke but kind of wonderful. They agree to stay in touch - because no one ever really does, do they?
When Elsa invites herself to stay a few months later, they decide to look her up online. Too late, they learn the truth about Elsa Jean Krakowski. Deadly danger has just boarded a flight to London! But how do you protect all that you love from mortal peril without seeming, well, impolite...?
The Unfriend takes an hilarious and satirical look at middle-class England's disastrous instinct always to appear nice.
Steven Moffat is an award-winning writer whose internationally successful television shows include Doctor Who, Sherlock and Dracula."
