When We Were Friends

LoveReading Says

May 2015 Book of the Month.

We meet six female friends in the present day and learn a bit about their history together.  There is the high achiever, the one with marriage problems, the recently widowed, the happy one, the scatty one, the safe one.  We then get some back stories.  In the present they meet in Hyde Park for a reunion, a get-together which is actually a bit of an ordeal for everyone and has been for some time, only no-one will admit to it.  This year, in the pitch dark, they get completely drunk and lots of unpleasant truths emerge.  As they break up it sounds like one has fallen in the Serpentine but the rest ignore it.  Three days later her drowned body is discovered.  Now things get really interesting.  With murder, rape, deception and some weird stuff, this is quite a tale, one where a group of “friends” should seriously question if they knew the meaning of the word! ~ Sarah Broadhurst
