Short description

Roger Russell was just an average bachelor till he spilled coffee on a beautiful "uptown girl." Then someone threw a little murder into the mix. Two of Roger's best friends have suddenly become suspects and a big city detective obsessed with the "Silk Scarf Strangler" murders has either come to help, or to resurrect that killer in a new setting.

"Oh, great, there goes my weekend."
"What were your weekend plans?"
"I was going to the spa all weekend, and not come back 'til Sunday. I guess it won’t happen now."
"So you don’t need the car till Sunday, then."
"Yes ...? " Mary replied. (Read more) "Oh, great, there goes my weekend."

"Yes ...? " Mary replied.
"I tell you what I’ll do. If you don’t mind being dropped off in a tow truck, I will take you to the spa, drop you off, and pick you up on Sunday when I get your car done. "
Mary stared at him for a moment. "You would do that?"
"Yes, I would."
"Wait a minute, how much is all this going to cost me?"
"Not a thing. I owe you, remember?"
For a second Mary looked at Roger like he was a knight in shining armor. "Ok, you have a deal."

Review by: Angie Merriam on May 15, 2013 :
I was surprised how much I liked this book. A great "who done it" type book set in a small town where everyone knows everyone. Roger owns a mechanic shop with his childhood friend David. When he meets Mary, a new comer in town, he falls head over heels but the murder of a long time friend sends the town into a frenzy as those closest to Roger become suspects, including himself. The plot is interesting and moves at a nice pace while the sweet relationship between Roger and Mary is a nice side story amongst the chaos of the town. A fantastic read!

I just finished reading Friends and Strangers for the second time and like the first time I read this story John Miller did a great job keeping my attention. John has a natural talent in holding ones attention in his books. The suspense was great as was the romance. I think John takes real life problems romance and mysteries to form his words into stories that capture a persons mind. I would have to give John a 10 on a scale of 1 to 5 if it could be done This story is a MUST READ for any age.

Review by: Stewart Bint on March 16, 2013 :
The characters develop at a natural pace, and I had to read much further into the night than I intended, at every sitting, because I was desperate to see how the relationship blossomed.
And all that, before we get to the murder mystery. This is a well-crafted story, carried along mainly by largely believable, unforced, dialogue, interspersed with good, clear descriptions of scenes.
Enjoyable and recommended!

Review by: Mary C. Findley on Jan. 26, 2013 :
I loved the way Roger and Mary's relationship developed. It was sweet, old-fashioned courting and both of them made decisions as strong partners to keep it growing. The characters are well-developed and the reader gets a taste of strengths and weaknesses, quirks and endearing traits. It's not just a romance. Trust, friendship, and loyalty are all part of the story, and part of the solution to the murder mystery, too.
