Keep Your Friends Close

By: Lucinda Berry

Narrated by: Candace Fitzgerald, Daniela Acitelli, Leanne Woodward, Stephanie Németh-Parker

From the bestselling author of The Best of Friends comes a fast-paced thriller about how one woman’s murder unravels the tangled web of lies and deceit connecting a group of Hollywood elite.

When Kiersten McCann, president of the West Hollywood Moms’ Club, turns up dead in her own pool, it quickly becomes clear this wasn’t an accident. And the party guests—all members of the exclusive club—are now key suspects in her murder.

Accusations fly, and three mothers find themselves at the center of the investigation. Whitney, Brooke, and Jade all have heavy secrets to bear…and possible motives for their friend’s murder. But as the police look closer, more secrets, betrayals, and sinister plots are revealed than the women could ever imagine.

With everything at stake, deceit threatens to shatter their illusions of the perfect life. West Hollywood will never be the same.

Critic reviews

“Perfect reading for those who wonder: ‘If you couldn’t trust your best friend, could you really trust anyone?’”—Kirkus Reviews

Not my favorite characters!

Good story. I was not a fan of any of the characters, so it made it hard for me to stay engaged. Ending was very well done!

Wow

Wow. What did I just read. I enjoyed it, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like all the twists just got way crazy. Could be a good or bad thing. The writing, like all her books, flowed well and I actually appreciated the past/present style of writing.

Wow

This book has so many twist and turns just as you thought you knew what was gonna happen. Something else happened. Definitely blew my mind. I am recommending this to everybody I know and I hope someday there’s a part two because I would love to know how everything happens with everybody and how it ends up Wow such a great book

About as twisty and dark as it gets!!

Loved it!! But also very sad in parts, the train wrecks kept coming! For all the moms it will definitely tug at your heartstrings.

Surprise ending

There were a few too many characters who had no basis in the story. Didn’t feel like they needed to be there.
