Everyone is shocked when Catherine, a pregnant surrogate, goes missing--from the gay couple whose child she was carrying, to her estrangws sister Eva-Sue, to her college friend Marcus Agaston, now a Dallas Reporter. When Catherine's body appears on the shoreline of Lake Ray Hubbard seven days later, Marcus vows to find the killer.

However, Marcus has a dark past--one that his husband Sam, a successful lawyer, knows nothing about. And the more clues Marcus uncovers about the killer's identity, the more connections he discovers between a history he'd rather forget and Catherine's mysterious murder. Someone will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried, and as Marcus gets closer to finding the killer, a shocking relevation proves you can't trust anyone...

Loved it!

I normally do not read murder mysteries but this book came highly recommended so I tried it. It was very entertaining and had me on the edge of my seat. I could not put this book down! I loved the friendships and relationships depicted in the book and enjoyed that it was based in Dallas where I live. The scenes came alive in my imagination. I appreciate the author revealing subtle clues so I could try to be a super sleuth along with one of the characters. I was surprised and pleased that I absolutely did not see the end coming. This was a quick read that I did not want to see end and I am anxiously awaiting the sequel.

Could have been better

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2022

I found the characters very confusing - couldn't keep track of who was who. They were not clearly defined and kind of blended together. There was a chance this could have been a good book but the so-so-many spelling mistakes ruined it for me. If you're not going to use a spellchecker at least have someone tell you the difference between homonyms - "discreet" and "discrete", for example. I finished the book more as a matter of principle than because I enjoyed it.

A Murder Among Friends caught my eye when I saw the cool jacket cover. I was curious and downloaded the book. After reading the first 2 chapters I was hooked and wanted to know who would commit such a heinous act on a defenseless pregnant woman. Without giving too much away the book deals with secrecy, jealousy, betrayal, and eventually murder. The book simultaneously explores same sex relationships and sibling rivalry. The question of what drives a person to commit murder is what will keep the reader turning the page. I enjoyed the characters Marcus and Sam, but I loved Eva Sue even more. Call me crazy, but I have a soft spot for the criminally insane. I recommend this book.

This book was the best book I have read since the Color Purple, which happens to be my favorite. Reading A Murder Among Friends, kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I couldn't stop reading it. My favorite characters were Eva Sue, and of course Sam. Sam's character took me by surprise, but I loved how he was portrayed. Get ready for some mystery, love plots, and some down right deceit. You will love this book, I promise. The author has me ready for the next one.

Your Average Mystery Novel

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2020

Thank you to Book Sirens for the free digital copy in exchange for an honest and voluntary review. All opinions are my own.

Overall rating for A Murder Among Friends is 3.5 stars. The book took me awhile to get into because I felt it was moving a little to slow for my liking. Once it started to pick up speed, I found the book pretty good. A book where you love some of the characters and hate others. I would recommend if you like a mystery books.

Tightly-woven storytelling!

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2020

This is a tightly-paced narrative. It's terse, to-the-point, and informed. How do love, greed, and violence play out in contemporary American culture? Very-much in the style of Tony HIllerman. Highly recommended.

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2020

Many thanks to the author / Booksirens for the digital copy of this crime fiction. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Reporter Marcus Agaston is devastated. His college friend, Catherine, went missing and days later her body was found. She had been brutally murdered. Marcus is doubly upset as Catherine was a pregnant surrogate for Marcus and his husband Sam.

Marcus starts his own investigation to find the killer. He's determined, even if it does make him remember the history he shared with Catherine and the secrets they shared.

But someone wants those secrets to stay buried, never to see the light of day. And if Marcus has to die ..then so be it.

As Marcus gets closer to finding the killer, a shocking revelation proves you can't trust anyone...

The author, with her background of being a lawyer trying criminal cases, brings much appreciated credibility to this story. The characters are deftly drawn and it was enjoyable to see how Marcus and Sam relate to each other. The suspense/mystery starts on the very first page and holds steady until the explosive ending.
