The Weekend
by L.H. Stacey
That Lake. This house. His friends. They all know what happened to my boy. I know they do. And you… you have to help me find the truth…
A weekend to remember…
Ten years ago, deeply in love, I would have done anything for Thomas Kirkwood.
But on the night of our graduation, fuelled by drink and drugs, Thomas’s lifeless body was found floating in the Kirkwood family lake. That weekend changed everything, and I swore I would never return to Kirkwood manor.
A weekend to forget…
Now, ten years later, I have been invited back to the place that holds such terrible memories for me, to a memorial weekend for Thomas, organised by his still-grieving mother Ada.
But this is no ordinary weekend. This is a reunion to catch a killer…and I fear that I could be top of Ada’s list….
Perfect for fans of Teresa Driscoll, Sue Watson, Jackie Kabler and Kendra Elliot.

REVIEW
Just when you think you have it all figured out, the rug is pulled right out from under you!
The Weekend was for me was a little hard to get in to, it was a bit of slow burner to start with but once I found my footing I found myself engrossed. There is a bit of repetition as this is told in duel timelines, 10 years prior and the present, as you get the characters take on what happened that night all those years ago. I felt that there were a few storylines and plots that we were introduced to that were never really followed through and we are kind of left hanging a little, also I didn’t really think that how the police acted following a murder would have been the right course of action and it was also a few chapters after the event before they were mentioned.
I really wanted to love this, but it just missed the mark on a few things but I wasn’t expecting the course the end was taking so that redeemed it for me.
4 stars
