New suspenseful novel “We Were Never Friends”

More from this show

A new suspenseful novel, titled “We Were Never Friends,” follows Roxy Callahan Gentry’s wild adventure.

Roxy calls her former sisters of the Theta Gamma Mu sorority back to her Palm Springs vacation home to celebrate her son’s engagement. Amelia is an old-money widow who brings her uninvited boyfriend to the reunion, Jamie is a cardiologist with a bad habit, Sunny is the carefree member of the group and Beth, whose daughter is engaged to Roxy’s son.

Roxy’s home is more than just a fun place to gather, as it’s eerily similar to a hotel that the sorority sisters visited decades ago during spring break, when tragedy struck. Over the course of the weekend, tension spreads, suspense is unveiled and secrets will resurface for them all.

Kaira Rouda, author of “We Were Never Friends,” joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the novel.
