Summary
‘Friendships don’t get much more toxic than this – a compelling tale of jealousy, rivalry and the things we do to those closest to us’
T.M. LOGAN, author of The Holiday and The Catch
‘From the intriguing and hooky first chapter to the final page, it held me in a vice-like grip'
SOPHIE HANNAH, author of Haven’t They Grown
'A perfectly-paced page-turner that cleverly explores the "frenemy" relationship'
PHILIPPA EAST, author of Little White Lies
There are so many ways to kill a friendship . . .
You’re lying, sprawled at the bottom of the stairs, legs bent, arms wide.
And while this could be a tragic accident, if anyone’s got a motive to hurt you, it’s me.
Bec and Izzy have been best friends their whole lives. They have been through a lot together – from the death of Bec’s mother to the birth of Izzy’s daughter. But there’s a darker side to their friendship, and once it has been exposed, there is no turning back.
So when Izzy’s body is found, Bec knows that if the police decide to look for a killer, she will be the prime suspect. Because those closest to you are the ones who can hurt you the most . . .
The Rumour meets The Holiday in this compulsive thriller with a toxic friendship at its heart that keeps you in the dark until the final breathless ending.
Why you will love My Best Friend's Murder . . .
‘A highly addictive read . . . twists until the last page. Once you start Polly Phillips's debut, I guarantee you won't put it down until you're left questioning who's truly innocent... and who's not’ GINA LaMANNA, author of Three Single Wives
‘I devoured this taut and thrilling tale of murder and toxic friendship, reading between my fingers as the tension cranked up and unable to put it aside until I’d read the final shocking twist’ VICTORIA SELMAN, author of Snakes and Ladders
‘A page-turner to be reckoned with. The toxic friendship between Bec and Izzy is so well-crafted; the women’s journey like a steam train about to derail. I raced through the book at record-speed, and couldn’t wait to find out who would finally crack, who would die, and who would ultimately be responsible’ JESSICA JARLVI, author of What Did I Do?

Fantastic book, I would highly recommend this book
Loved it! struggled to put it down. I would definitely recommend this book. I struggle to get into books and sometimes drift off into my head and forget its playing, I was fully immersed in this one. I want another! Only problem I had was it kind of rushes at the end in the last chapter. like the last day of work before breaking up for Christmas hols, making sure everything is done but rushed. Still loved the book though.

4 stars until car crash ending of 1 star. Shame
Anyone who's ever had a bossy friend will enjoy this book, or at least identify with it. The plot was great, building the tension & characters consistently until about four fifths of the way through when it all went pear shaped. I won't give anything away but it seemed like the author let someone else finish what she'd started. The characters acted so out of character that it became sadly unbelievable, probably an attempt to make everyone a suspect but too heavy handed, rushed & clumsy, making me uninterested in the outcome. Shame as the rest of the book had been really good.

Great engaging read but disappointing last chapter
Thoroughly enjoyed this book but wish the ending had been more fully developed, seemed to not quite match up to the lead up to it? Narrator is fantastic! 1 star off for the ending, but still a good read.

I did not expect THAT ENDING
Had me questioning friendships and loyalties throughout. Would listen to another from this author in a heartbeat.

Couldn't put it down!
This was a great story with a great ending!
the only thing I found was that it took a while to get used to the narrator, I found the narrator sounded more like she was doing audio description rather then a book, but the story kept me hooked.

A few twists and turns
I liked this a lot, a great story line, which I thought I had sussed, but there were a good few twists and turns right to the very end. Definitely worth a listen.

Toxic friendships
The book begins with a death and then we find out about two friends, Becky and Izzy. Throughout this book we find that Izzy is a controlling, narcissistic bully who only thinks of herself, she is not a likeable character but the story is so well written by Polly Phillips that it keeps you wanting to read on.
Towards the end you are left thinking, was it an accident? Or who could the killer be? Bravo Polly, I didn’t see that end coming.
Highly recommend and give 5*

too abrupt ending
i enjoyed the book, narrator was very good, plot was too. however, the ending was just so abrupt. to me it came out of nowhere and i was left wanting more, more of the story.
