Her Last Best Friend
(2025)(The first book in the Shadow Lake Ranch Murders series)
A novel by Nellie H Steele
A friendship. A betrayal. A body. Welcome to Shadow Lake Ranch…where friendships come to die.
Quiet Lindsey isn’t sure about spending twelve weeks at Shadow Lake Ranch. Her best friend, Mel, swears the luxury retreat will be the perfect escape—horseback riding, yoga, emotional bonding. A killer summer.
But from the moment they arrive, something feels off. Lindsey can’t shake the dread curling in her stomach. And when she meets Travis—the charming cowboy who seems to only have eyes for her—things get even more complicated.
Especially when it seems Mel has set her sights on him, too.
As the lines between truth and paranoia blur, Lindsey begins to question everything—her friendship, her relationship, even her own mind.
And when Mel turns up dead, Lindsey becomes the prime suspect.
Was she the jealous best friend who finally snapped? Or is someone else hiding a much darker secret?
At Shadow Lake Ranch, nothing is what it seems. And there’s only one truth: You can’t trust anyone.
Her Last Best Friend is a twisty psychological thriller perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover’s Verity, Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl, and Ruth Ware’s The It Girl.
