The Weekend Away

The Weekend Away keeps the reader.s interest!  The twists and turns throughout the book keep the reader engaged.  Each character is very well developed and portrayed in an accurate way.  Well worth the read!

An unputdownable mystery thriller that kept me hooked, this is my second read from Alderson and I havent been disappointed yet!

Gah! SO many twists!!! Love love love when the book gives such good descriptions you only want to keep turning the pages to find out what is going to happen next. The ending was excellent. Perfect popcorn/beach read. Thanks netgalley the publisher and author for my copy in exchange for an honest review.

All new moms (or mums) dream of going on holiday and getting to sleep in, right!? Orla is lucky to be going on a weekend getaway with her best friend Kate. But what should be a weekend full of laughs, pampering, and relaxation quickly turns into a fast-paced mystery and crime thriller. A great read!

Wow I really enjoyed this book. Finished it in one four hour sitting! I enjoyed that it was a fast paced book and got right into the story within the first few chapters.

Wow Wow Wow!!!! I absolutely loved this book. The author kept me guessing who did it the whole time. I feel like the author left the door open for a part 2. I will definitely follow Sarah Alderson. You will not regret reading  The Weekend Away by Sarah Alderson. #TheWeekendAway #NetGalley Thank you #netgalley for the opportunity to read an advice copy.

Kate and Orla (best friends for 20 years) plan a weekend away in Lisbon. Kate plans a special night out at a fancy restaurant and then to a bar for drinks. There they meet 2 men and Katie invites them back to the apartment they were renting for the weekend. From the beginning the story pulls you in and keeps you guessing until the end.

I really enjoyed The Weekend Away! Nothing like a girls trip to reconnect two friends who have grown apart due to their lives changing over the years. Lisbon provided a beautiful setting for this novel that kept me on the edge of my seat until the end! So many interesting and unique characters. Once you think you had it all figured out, another twist was thrown at you! Kept me reading until late in the night.

WOW!  What a great book.  Twists and turns, deception, lies, suspicious characters... it has it all.  The adventure begins in the first chapter and does not let up.  Great story and the author does an amazing job of developing the characters without dragging it out.  I can see this being turned into a screenplay.  One of the best books I've read this year.

I have always loved books like this and Alderson's was refreshing! Honestly, I was hooked just from the synopsis, and I'm so thankful to have been given the chance to read this book. I look forward to suggesting it to many of my mystery-reading friends!

WOW!  What a great book.  This one will keep you guessing to the very end.. it has it all.  The story begins quick and does not let up the pace. Great development of the characters without unnecessary details. I hope Netflix picks up the rights to this one to create it into a movie. When this comes out in April I am sure it will be on the bestseller list!

Don't read this until you have time to read it all.  I was sucked in right from the beginning.   

A girls weekend away with your bestie.  What could go wrong?   The answer is a LOT.   I read a lot of mysteries and thrillers and often know where the plot is going.  Well, in this case I only thought I did.   I can't count how many times I said "wait, what???"    

The suspense builds, and builds, and then wham - it goes in an entirely different direction.   Then it builds again - and wham!  I loved the ride!    I was sucked in the whole way and stayed up way past my bedtime, saying the infamous "just one more chapter".  

I want to thank the author, the publisher and #netgalley for the advance copy.  This did not impact my review.  In fact, I think this might be my next bookclub pick once this is published.

A weekend away was a solid read. The author did a great job with the twists and misdirections for most of the book, but the ending was predictable. I was a little disappointed because I truly enjoyed this.

Best friends forever Orla and Kate leave London for a long weekend away to Lisbon. Orla thinks it will just be a relaxing getaway leaving her baby daughter and husband at home. But, the first night there, Kate insists they go to a bar, and then bring two men back to their Airbnb. Orla wakes up the next morning thinking she must have been drugged as she can't remember much, and Kate is no where to be found. While trying to piece together what happened and convince the police Kate is missing, Orla finds out some devastating information about her best friend, and her own marriage.

Wow! What a fabulous book.  I finished it last night and my adrenaline is still pumping.  What begins as a girls' weekend away, becomes a search for the truth when one of the longtime friends goes missing.  This book has everything a mystery reader could possibly want in an intriguing read:  friendship, love, mystery, sex, lies and the list goes on.  Every time I thought I had the book figured out, another curveball would be thrown.  Fantastic to the end!!!  Will leave you reeling for more.

This was a very fast paced mystery/thriller. It kept me on my toes while I was racing to finish. The character development throughout was fantastic. Several twists, but that last twist. I thought I had it all figured out and then the further I read, the more off I was, which ultimately made the ending that much more exciting.

Yes! One of my new favorites. This premise was so exciting and I literally couldn't put it down. The family ate cereal for dinner and nothing got done until I found out what happened.

The Weekend Away is a tantalizing, suspenseful thriller with so many twists and turns I couldn’t figure out the ending until the last page!  I stayed up way past bedtime finishing this one because I was so engrossed in the secrets and lies.  Great book - highly recommend!
