About this listen

Twisty and ingenious, A Friend Indeed is an engrossing psychological thriller perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Ruth Ware.

When single mom Jo Dykstra was at her lowest—jobless and penniless—her childhood friend Dana McFarlane helped her out big-time by securing her a teaching job and thus an opportunity for a new life in the affluent Pacific Northwest town of Glebes Bay. So, when Jo gets a frantic late-night call from Dana, sobbing and desperate for help, it feels like a chance to help her friend in return.

The last thing Jo expects to see when she arrives at Dana’s oceanfront mansion? Her friend’s handsome and wealthy husband, Stan, dead, sprawled face down on the floor. Dana admits to killing her husband following years of secret abuse and begs Jo not to call the police. For nearly two decades, Dana’s marriage and family had looked picture perfect. Who’d ever believe that pillar-of-the-community Stan was a monster? Determined to cover up her husband’s killing and shield her kids from scandal, Dana convinces Jo to help her dispose of the body.

But the cover-up starts to crumble when a blackmailer threatens to expose their crime. Hounded by gossipy neighbors, ill-fated lovers, and zealous cops, truth and lies are laid bare between Jo and Dana, putting their families in danger and threatening to shatter a thirty-year friendship. Shocking and fast-paced, A Friend Indeed is a riveting tale about the power of friendship and the deadly weight of lies.

This book is extremely well written and has so many twists and turns, I had no idea how it would end. The narrators were great as well.

Will keep you guessing!

This book was great and the narrator was one of the best. Super sad that this author doesn’t have any other books. My plan was to binge read all her others.

Wish I could re-read. 5⭐️

As a newbie to this author, I decided to roll the dice! I powered through the audiobook during two 12-hour shifts at work (yes, I multitask like a pro!). At first, I was a bit skeptical about the realism, but then the story started to unfold like a flower in spring. I always say that a good narrator is the secret sauce to a great book, and Hillary Huber—my fave—absolutely nailed it! Andi Arndt brought her character to life like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat! By the end, I cracked the case and figured out who the culprit was, and let me tell you, that twist was a delightful cherry on top! If you're into mystery and suspense, grab "A Friend Indeed"—it’s a rollercoaster of lies and plot twists that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat!

Jo is a true friend indeed!

I really enjoyed Jo's smart wisecracking tough character and the "who dunnit" tension of the story. The plot was weak and typical.

The narrator, Hillary Hubert was so entertaining and amusing, she's the reason I kept listening.

It was ok. Nothing to write home about. I was kind of rolling my eyes the whole time. Come on ladies, really??

Oh well.
