My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book hooks you from page one.  You are instantly drawn into the world of Cammie and want to know everything right away. It very much has classic TV drama vibes and I could easily see this being made into a Lifetime Movie. Definitely a page turner that makes you want to continue reading with no regard to the outside world.  There are twists and turns in every chapter and just when you think you have it figured out, another twist smacks you in the face.  I really hope that Ms. Burson continues writing Cammie and Grant’s story because there is so much more to be told with these two characters.

OH EMM GEE! I can’t even begin to explain how much I LOVED Murder Among Friends by Linda Burson! She creates a setting with wonderful characters, to nosey neighbors, mystery, suspense, a HUGE ending twist, and of course murder, but just how much? I guess you will have to read to find out!!!!
Grant, stuck in a marriage he was forced into, does everything he can do to deal with his wife Paula, just to be with his son. Until one day Paula disappears without a trace.
Grant, being a lawyer, knows though he didn’t do it he’s now the prime suspect. Though he’s not the only one who isn’t sad Paula is gone.
Camille, an undercover PI, takes a leave of absence from her job in Boston to stay with her brother in Connecticut. Ends up in the middle of Paula’s disappearance investigation.
I got sucked into this book, I didn’t want to put it down. I felt like the nosey neighbors watching Camille and Grant during the investigation of his wife’s disappearance.
Trust me when I say READ IT!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder Among Friends is an incredibly entertaining romantic mystery. Main character Cammy is incredibly smart and seems to notice every little detail. All of the character development was beautifully written and it seems each character grew as the story went on. Just when I thought it was predictable, Linda Burson (author) throws in plot twist after plot twist.
I felt that the character’s names in the dialogue was overused, but that is probably because it is written in third person-present tense. It is hard to write in that tense and be able to keep up with characters if you don’t use names. That is the only reason I gave it four stars.
I definitely recommend this book.

Murder Among Friends by Linda Burson was excellent. I was expecting a thriller, but I got so much more, crime thriller mixed with romance. Murder Among Friends was well written, the characters were developed well, and the banter between the siblings was believable, it reminded me of the banter between me and my siblings. Murder Among Friends quickly caught my attention and kept me quickly turning the pages to find out what happened next. I was pleasantly surprised at some unexpected twists that I didn’t see coming. I’m generally pretty good at guessing the “twists” but I didn’t see these coming, which made it that much better. The attention to detail is great throughout the book, it really makes you feel like you are sitting right there “seeing” everything that is happening. I recommend this book to anyone who likes the thriller genre, even the romance genre, you won’t be disappointed.

The author did a thoroughly entertaining job with this book. It grabs you from page 1 with Cammie’s back story on how she came to live with her brother and his family to solving the murder of Paula. Cammie is quite the strong character and fairly independent. It is refreshing to watch her work to get back on her feet. The mystery of what happened to Paula was like trying to listen to a bunch of hens cackle when the friends where involved. You think you have it figured out and then, oops, plot twist, try again. It’s a really intriguing tale that keeps you on the edge of your seat with well-thought out characters and a plot that could be taken straight out of the news. Well done! I loved this story. The author is a new favorite for me. Highly recommend you read this one.

The change in character point of views and tenses had me slightly confused as the story did not flow as well as it could have. That said the story itself is great and Author Linda Burson has a knack for creating suspense, mystery, intrigue and even romance. While I do not often enjoy books that contain affairs, I did appreciate the way the author justifies the relationship between two of the main characters. I absolutely love how she describes the parents and their different aspects of their relationships with their children. We truly need more parents like Zach, Leah and Grant and more aunts like Cammy. Really appreciate the details the author added to give you the sense of watching the story unfold.

Murder Among Friends by Linda Burson was an amazing read, it’s full of suspense, drama, mystery, and so many twists and turns that you never know what will happen next. While this is my first read by Ms. Burson the story itself was very well written, her characters were fascinating, and the overall story pulled me in from the very beginning. While I have a list of extensive favorite authors I can honestly say with her intriguing writing and limitless imagination Ms. Burson has definitely made her way to my list with Murder Among Friends.

Camille Thurston decides she needs to recharge from her highly stressful life as a PI in Boston. She takes a leave from her job and goes to stay with her brother Zach and his family in Connecticut. What she does not expect is to get wrapped up in an investigation involving a missing woman. Rather than sit idly by Camille feels compelled to help her brother Zach, and his partner Russ. Camille aids in the investigation by keeping tabs on the missing woman’s husband, neighbors, and friends. What starts out as a way to keep track of the missing woman’s husband turns into so much more and Camille never expects to fall in love with the missing woman’s husband.

Murder Among Friends was a real page turner. It took twists and turns that I never saw coming with one big twist at the end that seemed to come out of nowhere. This book will keep you hooked as you delve in to see what will happen next.

Linda Burson is an excellent writer, painting a full picture of this murder mystery! I was on the edge of my seat, and almost couldn’t put it down! I was intrigued by the story of the mystery woman and all of her friends. I won’t give the story away but you must read it! Camille wanted to relax for a summer but her plans for R&R were halted by the events occuring at her brother and their family’s home.

Camille Thurston’s had some rough times recently both in her personal and professional life. During a particularly exhausting case, she decides to move in with her brother and his family. Camille is a likable character with a thirst for justice and the truth that drives the story. The story itself is multidimensional in both the mystery-aspect and world-building the author sets up. If you like well-rounded characters, mysteries, twists and turns, you’ll love Murder Among Friends.

Whew! This book has you all over the place trying to figure out what happened to Grant’s wife when she mysteriously disappeared one morning. Everyone around her seemed to have a motive to make her disappear, and her own behavior has you trying to guess if she just took off on her own. Cammy, who’s worked as a PI in Boston, but decides to take a break from that to spend the summer with her brother’s family, gets caught up in the mystery as her police officer brother works to solve the case. The way the author unravels the story with twists and turns along the way draws you in and keeps you completely engrossed until the very end. There’s also a bit of romance, which weaves into the story naturally. This book is like an onion with the different layers to it, and the author does a fabulous job of peeling them back little by little to build a story that makes it difficult to put down.

This author has done it again with an amazing book that gives that amazing word play! I was a big fan of a series by them I recently had got to have the enjoyment of reading. The enjoyment certainly continued upon reading this novel. To say it is a must read, is a understatement.

This book had it all and then some. Literally everything I had hoped for and more. I certainly must say, the suspense level and biting your nail sensations were very well done though out this book, not just on certain pages, but pretty much you stop for a breath, more suspense comes, and you have to pick up and start running again. The way this gifted author writes their characters is amazing and beyond the word that defines realistic. The way their personalities leap off the page makes me feel almost as if this is someone you could easily read just by walking down the street, basically on an ordinary day. Truly the book was amazing. I could not put this one down once I got into it, it just kept getting better and better!

Honestly you need to pick up and see all the techniques and qualities it beholds! Its a fast paced, with a brisk wind sort of read. Some points you just don’t know what your in for till you get going into it. Every moment I found myself in the book, more I was compelled to keep on reading. It was a great read, and truly delivered and then some! I loved it with everything within me! Seriously read this and see what I mean! This is not a book to pass up! Thank you again to this amazing author for this freaking good book!

Linda Burson, a native of Pennsylvania, but long time Connecticut resident, has been writing ever since she was given a writing assignment in school, at the age of eight. Later, as a teenager, she started out writing memoirs and attempted several nonfiction pieces.

 

After attending college studying English, Psychology, and Business Law, Linda worked in positions where she wrote and edited papers for others. She spent time pursuing other interests and traveling. Much of Linda’s free time was spent reading mysteries, romance, and women’s contemporary fiction novels.

 

After several attempts at writing nonfiction, but having life get in the way, she put her passion on hold again. She gave up writing to focus on raising her daughters, being a wife, running her own businesses and taking care of her dog, a Lhasa Apso named Nathan.

 

After a serious bout of breast cancer, Linda eventually closed her business after fifteen years. She decided it was time to attempt writing again. This time, however, with nothing to distract her, she decided on tackling fiction, a contemporary, commercial romance with a dark edge.

 

On January 1, 2013, she sat down with her laptop and started writing the first chapter. After a few more chapters, she realized the story wasn’t near complete. Before she was aware of it, her idea of a single book turned into a trilogy, which turned into a much longer series called the MARCY SERIES. There are a total of thirteen books in the series.

 

When asked about inspiration, Linda has this to say: “Nobody really inspired me to write, but I do remember my mother and father always saying ‘anything you put your mind to you can accomplish. Don’t ever let anyone tell you, you can’t do something.’ Having the support and encouragement of my family is also important.”

 

Linda has also published a standalone murder mystery novel entitled, Murder Among Friends, a romantic suspense novel called, The Colors of my Life, and a short story as a part of a five-story anthology with other authors called Where There’s Murder, There’s Mystery. Her story is entitled, Lies Aren’t Forever. Another Romantic suspense called The Kidnapping is due out in August 2021.

Murder Among Friends was a great 5 star read. This was my first read from Linda Burson and I was pulled right in. This read has so much going on, it’s a great suspense thriller. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next.

Camille is an investigator and is needing an overdue break from work, she ends up going to her brothers house in Connecticut. While visiting her brother a woman goes missing and she can’t help but offer assistance to her brother since he and his partner are on the case. So much for the break she was looking forward to.

Will she be able to help them solve the case? What will happen when she gets involved with the family?

Overall this was a great, thrilling read. The secondary characters were great, they added a lot to the story. Camille was a very strong character who was determined to solve the crime. I really liked the relationship that she had with her brother, I did have a couple of LOL moments with them. I really enjoyed the writing style and detail that was in this story. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started on this great read.

What an interesting read. What an adventure. So many characters to watch and wonder about. Murder and mystery, stalking and even some love thrown in. Oh, and don’t forget about the twist that blind sides you at the end!!!

Cammy and Grant are super sweet together. Zach and Leah are the ultimate brother and sister in law. The kids are angels, simply children.

Linda Burson is known to me from her Marcy series. While, this book has nothing to do with that series, the writing style keeps you turning the pages. The storyline keeps you guessing for sure.

This is another recommended story by Burson. I wonder what she’s working on now…

Murder Among Friends is a genre of book that I wouldn’t normally pick up and read, let alone enjoy and get completely captivated and entranced by it. This read was full of suspense from the get-go, had lots of mystery and had you on the edge of your seat throughout, it takes you on a completed rollercoaster ride from start till finish.

This author has created some original, captivating, raw & real characters and a storyline that is gripping and totally intriguing. Giving too much away of this book will totally take all the suspense and incredible plot – it is a book that needs to be experienced by all. I highly recommend this read, I can’t wait to see what else this author brings.
