📖 Book Description
‘By the time you read this, I’ll have killed one of your husbands’
In an isolated retreat, deep in the Northumbria moors, three women arrive for a weekend getaway.
Their husbands will be joining them in the morning. Or so they think.
But when they get to Dark Fell Barn, the women find a devastating note that claims one of their husbands has been murdered.
Their phones are out of range. There’s no internet.
They’re stranded. And a storm’s coming in.
Friendships fracture and the situation spins out of control as each wife tries to find out what’s going on, who is responsible and which husband has been targeted.
This was a tight-knit group. They’ve survived a lot. But they won’t weather this.
Because someone has decided that enough is enough.
That it’s time for a reckoning.

My Review
I absolutely loved The Long Weekend by Gilly Macmillan! A brilliantly written, gripping thriller that kept me questioning everything and everyone as the story unfolded.
One of the things I particularly enjoyed was the constant uncertainty running through the story. Who was telling the truth? Who was hiding something? Who could be trusted, and who had reason to be afraid? Just when I thought I might have a clearer understanding of what was happening, there was always another reason to question my assumptions.
Gilly Macmillan does a wonderful job of creating suspense while weaving confusion, emotion and suspicion throughout the story. That uncertainty was a huge part of what made the book so compelling for me. I loved being kept guessing, never quite knowing which characters to believe or where the story might lead next.
The pacing kept me turning the pages, and the tension made it difficult to put the book down. I was completely caught up in trying to work out what was really going on, right through to the final page.
A thoroughly enjoyable, fast-paced psychological thriller that I would happily recommend to anyone who loves suspense, secrets and a story that keeps you guessing!
