Murder Between Friends

Murder Between Friends by Liz Lawson is a gripping thriller that delves into the complexities of friendship and betrayal. Two years ago, the murder of a neighbour tore three best friends apart. Now, the killer is set to walk free, forcing the ex-friends to confront the past—and each other—in this twisty narrative from the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Agathas.

The story follows Grace, Henry, and Ally, who grew up together on the same block and were once inseparable. Their friendship shattered when Grace's testimony led to Henry's brother, Jake, being imprisoned for murdering their English teacher. Fast forward two years, and Ally and Henry harbour resentment towards Grace, who is herself unsure of what she saw that fateful night.

Change is in the air when Jake is unexpectedly released due to a mistrial. Henry, convinced of his brother's innocence, is taken aback when Grace expresses doubts about her original testimony. However, Jake's curious reaction is to warn both Henry and Grace to stay out of the matter.

For Ally, remaining uninvolved isn't an option. Despite Grace's efforts, Ally refuses to view her as anything but an adversary. Yet, can Ally afford to alienate Grace when she is one of the few who believes in Jake's innocence?

The urgency intensifies as Jake's new trial date approaches. Without new evidence to prove his innocence, he faces the risk of another conviction. Grace, Henry, and Ally must grapple with the difficult question: Is it possible to trust someone who has shifted from friend to foe?
