Making Friends Can Be Murder
by Kathleen West
Making Friends Can Be Murder (3/22/2025)
I recently read Making Friends Can Be Murder and found it to be a very enjoyable read. I like how there were 3 plot lines: a romance, a murder and a missing child. The author neatly tied all this together at the end of the book. I also liked how the "detectives" were members of a club of women who all shared the same name - Sarah Jones. I thought this was a really original idea to have a club of women all with the same name be the ones to solve the mystery.

The women were all different ages from a teenager to a senior citizen. To differentiate themselves they called each other by their ages. For example, 17 for the teenage Sarah and 69 for the oldest Sarah. My one suggestion would be to give the eldest Sarah a different age is 69 is so suggestive of other things. The romance between one of the Sarahs and an FBI agent sparked my interest.

The murder took a while to puzzle out and made sense at the end. And of course the case of the missing child gets resolved. I liked this story and would recommend it to others who like cozy mysteries.
