Synopsis

'Fiendishly addictive' GUARDIAN

Your best friend isn’t who you think she is.

You’ve been friends since university, when you became the people you are today.

You don’t see each other enough but when you do it’s as if you’ve never been apart.

She’s one of the family. You would trust her with your life, your children, your husband.

And when your daughter is rushed to hospital, you’re grateful that she’s stepping in at home, looking after things.

But your best friend isn’t who you think she is. You’re about to find out just how wrong you were.

Review

Praise for Keep Your Friends Close

"Daly’s affinity for psychological intrigue shines . . . [she] has penned a superbly sinister plot full of believable twists. It will have readers wondering just how well they know their friends, and how secure their lives are." Mystery Scene

"The story taps into the frightening notion that security is an illusion. This nail-biter will leave readers breathless and wondering how well they know their friends. . . . A taut thriller." Shelf Awareness

"Keep Your Friends Close will cost you sleep. The gotta know’ suffuses every page; tension intensifies with each chapter. We follow Daly’s characters down terrifying, unanticipated, nerve-wracking roads to the last word." Randy Susan Meyers, bestselling author of Comfort of Lies and The Murderer’s Daughter

"The suspense, dread and paranoia intensify with each page. Paula Daly explores what happens when a serpent invades the family nest, twisting truth into lies and illuminating our deepest fears. A novel that explores the power of family, love and betrayal, and what lengths we will go to keep our loved ones safe." Denise Hamilton, author of Damage Control and editor of the Edgar-winning anthology Los Angeles Noir
