From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Karen Ranney - the story of a woman recuperating from tragedy only to be visited by murder. Jennifer Roberts is a survivor, not only from the car accident that changed her life, but from murder in her own neighborhood. Except that no one believed it was murder. Not Talbot, the cop who brought back bad memories. Nor her husband, whose actions led Jennifer to think that she had a problem there, too. She was determined to convince others that what she suspected was true - a murderer was loose in her neighborhood. Her only help was an eclectic group of amateur sleuths who played at murder. More intense than a cozy mystery, not quite a romantic suspense, Murder Among Friends is a thriller with a neighborhood bent. Not one international terrorist is to be found, but that's all right. The neighbors are strange.
