I thoroughly enjoyed A Killer Among Friends, written by Andrea Barton, and the second novel in the captivating Jade Riley Mysteries series. Whilst it can be read as a stand-alone, I was thrilled to continue with Jade’s story following The Godfather Of Dance.
Excellent writing and a compelling and tense mystery, with many conceivable twists. The characters are convincing and well-drawn, and Jade in particular, is complex and feisty, battling her own demons and insecurities. I’d definitely want her on my side if I was in trouble.
Highly recommend if you enjoy rollicking whodunnits.

The song title chapter headings were an enjoyable bonus. Looking forward to reading what trouble Jade gets up to in the next chapter of her adventurous life. This was a rollicking and suspenseful whodunnit that kept me guessing.
