My Best Friend’s Murder
The Rumour meets The Holiday in this compulsive debut thriller.
Bec and Izzy have been best friends their whole lives. They’ve been through a lot together - from the death of Bec’s mother to the birth of Izzy’s daughter, they’ve been side by side for all the highs and lows that life has thrown at them.
But there’s a darker side to their friendship too - and Bec is about to reach breaking point.
Then Izzy is found broken and bloodied at the bottom of the stairs. It could have been an accident - perhaps she fell - but if the police decide to look for a killer, then Bec is sure to be their prime suspect.
