“If there is any justice in this world it should be a number one book. I have told everyone they must put it on their reading list.” – Lesley Pearse
“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
“A second page-turning thriller from Paula Daly…. Daly writes convincingly of a warped mind, the cracks in family life and the small triggers that send events spiraling out of control.” – Daily Mail
“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 Accidents of Marriage and Comfort of Lies
“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 about a woman whose life and family are stolen by her closest friend.” – Shelf Awareness
“A fast-moving and tortuous domestic psychological thriller.” – Books & Entertainment UK
