My sister died. Her friends lied. And now I’m going to learn the truth…
A year ago, my twin sister Samantha left me a message: I need you.
A day later, she was dead. I always knew it was suspicious, but no one would listen.
But I’ve just found her journal, tucked into a hidden space in the window seat of our childhood bedroom. It shows who her best friends really are: the fraud. The liar. The cheat. The crush.
Now, they’re all together on a weekend away, in a beautiful wood-panelled cabin in the mountain. And I’m going too. One of them killed her, and I’m going to prove it.
But am I ready for the answers I’m seeking? Because I soon realize that my sister had dark secrets too…
And when fire breaks out on the mountain, leaving us trapped, I must decide: what will I risk to get justice for Samantha? Because finding the truth might cost me my life…
An absolutely compulsive thriller that will have your pulse racing as you flip through the pages at speed. If you like The Hunting Party, Ruth Ware and The Summer House, you’ll love The Weekend Away!

My thoughts: after her sister dies, Stella gives up her life of travel and photography to help her parents run the family dry cleaners, an invitation to join Samantha’s close friends on a weekend away in celebration of their friend leads to confrontation and violence, Stella knows there’s more to her twin’s death and finding a journal filled with secrets means she’s determined to get answers.
The weekend away gets really tense and scary when fire breaks out shortly after a major confrontation between the characters, talk about tension! After Jackson suffers an accident, and the others close ranks, Stella gets frightened, someone here is dangerous.
Utterly gripping, very intense and clever, loads of twists and turns. Never start a business with your friends is the message I’m taking away, especially if one of them is a psychopath!
