MY BEST FRIEND’S MURDERPolly PhillipsSimon & SchusterREVIEW BY PETER STUPPLESLondon. Bec’s best friend, Izzy Maxwell-Martin, is married to Richard Waverly, ‘‘a dead ringer for Tom Cruise’’, "a wanker-banker’’ who drives a Porsche. Those engaged in worthy professions, such as teaching, are regarded as failures. But you turn the pages waiting, it seems for ever, for the novel to come to life. Bec and Izzy have always been best friends but also rivals – from their school days to a competitive adulthood.
