A well written family drama/thriller. Four women who have grown up together like sisters. An interesting read where you think you know who has done what only to find you don't!
I really enjoyed this expect for one little gripe......i felt there was far to much detail especially around what they ate and drank.
Overall a worthy four star read.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

It took a while to get into this: there's a lengthy set up about each of the four women. I wasn't even sure it was a thriller until it became clear that a death was suspicious, followed by several other incidents around the women.
The pace improved and I enjoyed the friendship between the four friends. It was interesting to learn about Erin's antiquarian book business. I loved the relationship between Jess's grandparents and the broader group.
Just when I thought the killer had been identified and all the loose ends tied up, there was a surprise twist at the end.

Anita Waller's books are real page-turners, packed with intense plots, characters you can't help but get invested in, and stories that'll keep you on the edge of your seat. And that is exactly what this one does.

I loved the concept of the four best friends all being born within six months of each other, it really showed how these friends are more like family and the bonds that family have, and what one will do to protect another.

This isn't your run of the mill thriller, this is more of a deep story of connections and family, with some thrill mixed in.

I really enjoyed it and am excited to try out Wallers other stories.

Aw. This book is really heartfelt and tugs at the heart. Four women with an unbreakable bond. Now that's a sisterhood I want to be a part of.

I like the chemistry of the four bestfriends. They all have different personalities and each of them has their own insecurities and flaws but they compliment each other very well. I am glad that no crime or murder could destroy this unique friendship.

Although sometimes the events tend to be a bit monotonous and tedious, I enjoyed Erin's bookstore and eventual cafe shop. I imagine myself having a cuppa while reading a book. That must be nice.

Everyone likes tea too much, by the way.

A very decent read.

Thank you Boldwood Books & Netgalley for the ARC!

Excellent storytelling and the hits kept coming. I really enjoyed the multiple points of view, the friendships between the girls that could withstand anything and an excellent twist that I didn’t see coming at the end.

This talented author has written a page turner. Friends with secrets…red herrings kept me guessing. Follow the days’ events with these women and try to guess what will happen next. A book to be read all at once…a cannot put down novel that sadly reads like nonfiction, at times. This book would make a suspenseful movie. Thanks Netgalley.
