“Friends Like These,” by Kimberly McCreight (Harper) Friends Like These (Harper) “… Who needs enemies,” so the saying goes. These are college classmates from Vassar, who meet at the exclusive resort home of one of them to celebrate his upcoming wedding. In actuality, the weekend is a drug intervention for another in the group. There were 10 friends originally, but one of them, Alice, died by suicide in college, and the secret of her death haunts the others 10 years later. The cop in this exclusive resort, it turns out, is Alice’s sister, and she’s never accepted the suicide verdict.
