Review Quotes:
"An absolute delight! Precious Friends: Murder in Sag Harbor is more than a suspenseful murder mystery. Full of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this entertaining read is set in the high society of the Hamptons where public opinion turns deadly.Great storyline, excellent characterization, and real-life issues. Such a fun read! Each time I was forced to put down the book to attend to my own real-life responsibilities, I couldn't wait to get back to it. Spinelli's smooth writing style and finesse at doling out snippets of information at a time kept me wanting more. Drama, romance, and mystery all rolled into an enjoyable read with a satisfying conclusion."-Ivanka Fear, author of Blue Water Mysteries and Jake and Mallory Thrillers
"What a mystery! So much going on that will keep you guessing until the end. The setting was perfect for the intrigue going on as the characters circle around each other, some in friendship, others in intrigue and murder thrown into the mix."-Erik S. Meyers, author of the Sally Witherspoon mystery series
"Precious Friends: Murder in Sag Harbor is an unsettling murder mystery that emerges from a seething cauldron of domestic unhappiness. Frank Spinelli's considerable skills weave an increasingly tense and intentionally confusing web that places J.B. Pulaski, a college professor, and Mike Fogarty, his husband, at its center. Two uncomfortable themes that run through the narrative are mid-life crisis and marital infidelity. Murder and chicanery are, believe it or not, secondary leitmotifs. This is not a tale of personal heroism, but of a very human struggle with imperfection." -Ulysses Grant Dietz, author of Cliffhanger
"Beautifully written and executed, Precious Friends: Murder in Sag Harbor is sharp, sophisticated, and shocking. Spinelli examines the exclusive world of the Hamptons to shine a light on the destructive effects of wealth, secrets and betrayal. A page-turner of the first order."-Charles Gomez, author of Cliffhanger
"Psychological suspense at its finest-compelling, complex, and utterly unputdownable." -Ronek Patel, author of I Am Not Your Boy
"Frank Spinelli takes the reader on a ride with plenty of twists and turns in an excellent mystery that exposes the seedy underbelly of the posh, Hamptons elite." -Felice Stevens, Lambda Literary Award winning author of The Ghost and Charlie Muir
"Precious Friendsgives readers a glimpse of the glamorous, upper-middle-class gay society in the Hamptons. But it's not trying to be an LGBQT+ story; being gay is simply who these characters are, and they experience the same problems as straight people: philandering spouses, cancer diagnoses, raising teenagers. It's about friends, family, loyalty, and betrayal. And murder. When the latest lover of JB's philandering husband, Mike, is found dead in a swimming pool at a high-profile party, JB is the obvious suspect. JB has to prove his innocence, but could the killer be someone he loves?" -Sharon Marchisello, author of DeeLo Myer Cat Rescue Mysteries
"Precious Friends, teases, tempts, and then ropes the reader like a barbed-wire lasso. Sparkling with biting dialogue, posh locales, and razor-sharp narrative, Frank Spinelli's gin-swilling characters are heroic or cruel or sexy or conniving...or all of the above.Precious Friends is seductive, precious fun." -Nick Nolan, author of Tales from Ballena Beach
