Publisher Description

“Twisty, dark, and packs a punch. . . . Gripping and genuinely nail-biting.” — Sarah Pearse, New York Times bestselling author of The Sanatorium

In this pulse-pounding thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Nanny, a group of women travel to the most remote place in England for a weekend escape, only to discover a startling note that one of their husbands will be killed before they return home. Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley.

Three couples

Two bodies

One secret

Dark Fell Barn is a “perfectly isolated” retreat, or so says its website when Jayne books a reservation for her friends. A quiet place, far removed from the rest of the world, is exactly what they need.

The women arrive for a girls’ night ahead of their husbands. There’s ex-Army Jayne, hardened and serious, but also damaged. Ruth, the driven doctor and new mother who is battling demons of her own. Young Emily, just wed and insecure, the newest addition of this tight-knit band. Missing this year is Edie, who was the glue holding them together, until her husband died suddenly.

But what they hoped would be a relaxing break soon turns to horror. Upon arrival at Dark Fell Barn, the women find a devastating note claiming one of their husbands will be murdered. There are no phones, no cell service to check on their men. Friendships fracture as the situation spins wildly out of control. Betrayal can come in many forms.

This group has kept each other’s secrets for far too long.

"Fast-paced and incredibly compelling . . . this book will not let you put it down." — Shari Lapena, New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door

Good but sad

Story was definitely a good one. Every time I thought I had something figured out, I’d end up being wrong. Twists right til the end. Not a ton of dialogue, mostly narration, which did make me kind of zone out a few times, but still super interesting overall. I will say, the villain, whom you’re introduced to fairly early on, is pretty unlikeable - as villains should be, of course. It seriously……..this individual will make you want to reach through the book and choke them! LOL Overall, I enjoyed it and will explore other offerings from this author.

Too long

The author got ahold of a DSM. and decided to use it to give every character a personality disorder, a diagnosable mental disease or disorder, or some other condition. It became laughable and comedic instead of the “psychological thriller “ the author was going for, think. PTSD, dementia, post parter depression and postpartum psychosis, substance use disorder, delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, and on and on, page after page, making The Long Weekend a very long read.

You’ve got to be kidding!

Trivial, expected plot, simplistic dialog
Not the worst book I’ve read, but close
