Amongst Friends Katharine E Smith

Anna and Mike have a plan, to escape her abusive husband. Lee has his own plan, to stop his wife and so-called best friend for good. Who will succeed, and how has a lifelong friendship come to this?

The three friends meet in early childhood, coming of age together and supporting each other through problems at school and in family life.

Everything changes when Lee and Anna decide to marry. While Mike swaps urban England for rural Spain, Anna finds herself trapped in an abusive marriage, with nowhere to turn.

When he discovers his friends' relationship is far from happy, Mike is compelled to return to Bristol, to a life he thought he'd left behind.

He must rebuild the friendship, convince Anna that he can help her find a way out, and make sure that Lee knows nothing of what is going on. With his volatile temper and strong sense of pride, a vengeful Lee is unlikely to allow himself to be made a fool of without a fight.

Amongst Friends is the third novel by Katharine E. Smith. It turns traditional story-telling on its head, beginning with the dramatic end to the friendship and gradually unveiling what has happened for things to have gone so wrong.

If you like contemporary, psychological fiction, strong characters, and a twist of mystery and intrigue, you won't want to put this book down.
