Murder Between Friends
Two years ago, the murder of a neighbor tore three best friends apart--now the killer is going to walk free and the ex-friends are going to have to face the past--and each other--in another twisty thriller from the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Agathas.
Grace, Henry, and Ally grew up together on the same block. They used to be best friends--until Grace's testimony put Henry's brother, Jake, away for killing their English teacher. Now, two years later, Ally and Henry hate Grace, and Grace is doubting what she thinks she saw that night.
It feels like everyone's getting a second chance, then, when due to a mistrial, Jake is suddenly released. And Henry knows his brother is innocent, but when Grace reaches out to say she’s rethinking what she saw the night of the murder, Jake’s reaction is confusing. He doesn’t want Henry—or Grace--getting involved.
For Ally not getting involved isn’t an option, and there’s nothing Grace can say to convince Ally she’s not the enemy. But can Ally afford to push Grace out when she’s one of the only other people willing to believe in Jake’s innocence?
The clock is ticking. Jake’s new trial date is about to be set, and he's sure to be found guilty again unless there's new evidence to prove he's innocent. Grace, Henry, and Ally are going to have to decide whether you can trust an old friend now that they’re your enemy.

Murder Between Friends is like your classic small-town friendship breakup, except instead of someone stealing someone else’s boyfriend or not Venmoing for brunch, it involves the whole sending your best friend’s brother to prison thing. Oopsie.
Grace, Henry, and Ally were the inseparable trio… until Grace said, “Hey, I saw your brother kill someone,” and everyone else said, “Cool cool cool, we’re never speaking to you again.” Fast-forward two years, and Jake’s been released thanks to a mistrial, Grace is rethinking everything she thought she knew, Henry is oscillating between brooding and accusatory, and Ally? Ally is still mad, thank you very much. The girl holds a grudge like it’s a competitive sport.
This book serves teenage drama with a generous side of twisty-turny mystery. There’s guilt, secrets, second-guessing, and enough “maybe I was wrong” to power an entire season of Pretty Little Liars.
Was the pacing flawless? No. Did I want to shake every character at least once? Absolutely. But did I fly through it like a nosy neighbor with binoculars and zero chill? You bet I did.
Perfect for fans of friend fallout, courtroom chaos, and books that make you shout “WAIT… WHAT?!”
Read it with a cup of tea and trust issues. You’ll feel right at home.
