Goodreads

Ally, Henry, and Grace were once a trio of friends, but a series of tragic events pushed Grace out, despite the love Henry had come to feel for her. First, Ally’s father died, leaving her feeling isolated from Henry and Grace. Then, a beloved teacher was murdered, and a piece of testimony given by Grace helped convict Henry’s older brother Jake.  Grace begins to question what it was she saw the night of the murder, and the three of them have to overcome their past differences to get to the bottom of what really happened.

Told through the point of view of all three characters, Murder Between Friends moves quickly. The end is no surprise but mystery fans will enjoy the sleuthing the three of them get up to while repairing their tattered relationships.  Recommend to mystery readers, Riverdale watchers, and fans of Holly Jackson or Karen M. McManus.
