Wow! This had more twists than the largest rollercoaster in the world and I was certainly turned upside down whilst listening to it! Murder, deception, lies, dirty cops, this book has it all.

I started listening to Best Friends Forever while on a long walk in the countryside with the dog. I was obviously hoping that I wouldn’t get lost but when I told my Bookstagram friends what I was doing that day, one of them said, and I quote...‘we are gonna write a book about our friend lost in the countryside while listening to a murder book’!

I honestly loved it from start to finish, and I didn’t work out who the murderer was at all. I discovered the culprit right alongside our protagonist. For me, it was totally unexpected and a real shocker. There were lots of characters to hate in this book and not many to love! Shannon Hollinger got it so right and every character just added to the interest of the story. Kate Handford was a well-chosen narrator, and she simply made the book come alive. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for the opportunity to listen to and review Best Friends Forever by Shannon Hollinger.
