Can you find a book by vague plot??

Experience tells me that you lot can find anything.

Three girls, school friends.
One is killed when they are in their teens,
One returns.

It comes under thriller, mystery and suspense.

IIRC the cover is dark; blacks, greys, browns, in woods.

Thank you.

Is it a recent book or older?

Is it a teen? Point horror series?

Recent, as in last few years.

Not a teen novel.

Story is that three best friends at school, one was murdered.
Killer never caught.
Remaining two are adults now (so must go back and forth in time).

I think that one stayed in the town they were raised in.

The other left and now is back...

No it isn't, the main characters are women.

That book looks really good though, I'm going to buy it anyway Smile

This sounds very familiar. I’ll have a think…

NoSquirrels · 10/02/2023 00:30

I don’t think it is - because you’d have remembered the hen party - but In a Dark Dark Wood by Ruth Ware?

Toothfairypaypal · 10/02/2023 01:41

Is it The Orchid Girls?

Taswegian · 10/02/2023 01:46

The Darkest Corners by Kara Thomas?

WandaWonder · 10/02/2023 01:54

I am pretty sure I have read it, no help though as I can't remember the name or author

BreakingPointAgain · 10/02/2023 02:03

Maybe a novel by Susan Lewis?

Kalettesarethebest · 10/02/2023 02:03

This sounds really familiar...is it set on the coast? Does the friend come home?

WombsofWimbledon · 10/02/2023 02:23

Does the girl that’s killed get pushed over the banister at the top of the stairs?

rubydoobydoo · 10/02/2023 03:11

Is it "Don't Go Back" by Mark West?

@NoSquirrels it isn't in A Dark, Dark Wood.
Though that too is on the.list now 

It's not The Orchid Girls, but thank you @Toothfairypaypal nor The Darkest Corners @Taswegian.

@Kalettesarethebest the friend does come home, but it isn't set on the coast.

I haven't read it @WombsofWimbledon, I may not need to now 😂. I don't know whether the murdered girl is pushed over the banisters.
The murdered girl, I think dies in the woods, I can't be sure.

No @rubydoobydoo it isn't Don't Go Back.

Thank you to everyone who has tried. It isn't a Susan Lewis @BreakingPointAgain.

Keep 'em coming.
