Twenty years ago, the main character in this suspenseful book, Liz, leaves her home and the mysterious Lakewell Manor. She and her girlfriend, Tamsin, were involved in a murder of a young man that they had befriended that summer. In the present, both have returned but under much different circumstances.. Missing people, previously long held secrets are bought together in this must read mystery. I will highly recommend to anyone who loves a good story.

If you are looking for a good mystery, look no further.

They say to never judge a book by its cover, but something about the picture of the mysterious house on top of the cliffs is exactly what drew me in…and I am so glad it did. This was my first time reading a book by Tracy Buchanan, and I can’t wait to go read more of her works. I learned Tracy Buchanan is a talented author who uses just the right amount of descriptive language to make you feel like you are walking the streets of Easthaven without boring you with too many details.

Without giving too much of the plot away, “Secrets Between Friends” follows two friends, Liz and Tamsin, who haven’t seen each other in twenty years. The book dives right into the big mystery in their past, just as a new mystery begins to unfold in the present. I was so enthralled with the past and present mysteries that I couldn’t put the book down because I had to know what happened 20 years ago and what was wrong with Tamsin in the present.

Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the copy of Secrets Between Friends. This is the third book I have read by Tracy Buchanan and my favorite so far. The writing was so good I couldn’t wait to see where the story was going.The past narrative was more engaging than the present one because the relationships between Tamsin, Liz and Gabe were perfectly rendered. I hated reading the interactions between Liz and her mother but it gave a lot of insight into Liz. If you want a book that will keep you guessing this is a great book for you!

Twenty years ago, Liz left Easthaven to escape the memory of one tragic night at Lakewell Manor. Only she and her best friend Tamsin saw what really happened, and in the aftermath they drifted apart. Now she’s forced back after a nasty divorce, with two daughters in tow, the shadows of that terrible night lurking on every corner. With a custody battle looming, she’s one wrong move away from her life falling apart completely.
So when news arrives that Tamsin, too, is returning to Easthaven, Liz fears their reunion will bring the awful truth spilling out into the open. But when she finally meets Tamsin, now mistress of the clifftop house whose locked gates have guarded the friends’ secret all these years, she’s in for a surprise. Tamsin looks different, and she doesn’t remember Liz, let alone what happened that night…
Something is clearly wrong. But confronting Tamsin means reliving the nightmare Liz has been running from for twenty years. Can she risk exposing what happened that night, knowing that the truth will destroy everything?
Really enjoyable read totally recommend

Liz is returning to Easthaven after a terrifying incident sent both she and her friend, Tamsin trying to get as far away as possible, twenty years ago. Now, Lynn is facing a custody battle over her two daughters and a nasty divorce. Easthaven is the last place she wants to be, but it’s the only place she can go. And it turns out that Tamsin is back too – the only problem is that she doesn’t look anything like the girl Liz remembers, and she has no memory of Liz or what happened all those years ago.

This book was sent to me by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher for the electronic copy. Friends...secrets...love and romance...enemies...red herrings...mystery...intrigue...the past and the present...what could happen next? This is a question that is asked often when reading this book...also...What did happen? This is a talented author in weaving a story that is fiction but reads like nonfiction. It could happen...it probably did happen...I liked the writing style of this author...enjoy.
