Thank you for providing me with an advance review copy of this book. Enjoyed reading, would recommend....

As soon as I saw the line from the letter, I knew I had to read this book and that it woukd be wonderful., I was right. it was utterly captivating, I couldn't work out what was coming next, or who was narrating. The way the atmosphere and tension develops is genius. I never saw the ending coming, and I liked the way it wasn't a happily ever after ending. Brilliant.

Great twists and turns ..but…

By the time you read this, I'll have killed one of your husbands.

I loved the synopsis of this psychological thriller and was excited to read it. I did enjoy the characters and plot and the way it was narrated by different characters then as you got further into the story it turns around and smashed your assumptions into small pieces! I had to go back and read earlier sections to understand what I had read previously, I did think that was very clever.
In some ways I felt the second half was missing something and rushed through to the conclusion. All in all though a great book and only marked down a star for this.

Thanks for NetGalley and the publisher for a chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

A twisty thriller! Very enjoyable, lots of guessing and detective work required. A great setting that made you feel you were there!

3.5⭐️
Wow! What a hot mess! This was crazy and I really don’t know what to say. This author writes a great mystery-suspense.
Can you get 4 couples together and all get a long? And what if most of them are obsessed, crazy?
Parts of this didn’t work for me and other parts were good. At times it was too much. Overkill?? There is definitely a shock factor a couple of times. Will I read another by this author? Absolutely.
Thanks Century via NetGalley.

I love when books pull out a twist that makes me go back and read parts again to check what I missed and also to check that the bait and switch actually makes sense. I really enjoyed this book and loved the ending as well. All these people are horrible and who doesn't love horrible people!

Another unputdownable murder mystery. From the very creepy setting at the start this book keeps you on your toes throughout. Excellent plot with lots of twists and turns. I liked the way it was written from different points of view especially when you were unsure which side of the story you were getting. Definitely worth a read.

A group of university friends all meet up at a remote cottage following the death of one of their group on their first holiday since the tragedy. But when none of the wives can get hold of the husbands following a threat things start to spiral. I enjoyed this thriller - it was interesting how the plot all worked itself out. It did have a lot of characters and without chapters or character names it was sometimes difficult to work out from whose point of view it was from. I loved the setting and the insight into all the couples. They all had the flaws and it was working out who was the most damaged. It was definitely a weird friendship group. Overall a good thriller with a good plot.

I could literally not put this book down! A thrilling, fast paced page turner FULL of twists and turns!

You will not be disappointed.

Thank you to NetGalley and Publishers for an early eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a bit slow to start with, I found it good but it didn't hook me in until at least half way.
Once I'd got half way through, I found myself thinking of the book and wanting to read it every chance I could get.
The lot had a good twist and was exciting when it all started to kick off.
Once I'd got to the good bit, it then picked up speed and was exciting, thrilling and I was hooked.
I'd recommend this to anyone who likes thrillers and slow starts.

Well I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I had read a few not great books in a row and was so relived that I had picked this next. It kept me guessing, which I love. There is nothing worse than guessing the ending from the beginning. None of the characters are particularly likeable but that didn't bother me with this story, they all had their own backstories which made it somewhat easier to understand them.

A downside is that there are no chapters and the POV changes frequently so you really need to be paying attention while reading. I didn't find it particularly annoying like some other reviewers as I felt it kind of just 'worked'.

A lot less predictable than I thought it was going to be, I was so pleasantly surprised. 5 stars from me!

The synopsis for the book sounded so intriguing I had to read it. Three wives go for a weekend away to a remote setting with their husbands to join them the next day. But on arrival they find a letter saying one of their husbands will be killed by a person they know before the end of the weekend. It moves swiftly and had my attention but then it started feeling a bit messy with just too much going on and the lack of chapter distinctions did not help either. In the end it felt adequate but just not special. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Brilliant typical murder mystery, three friends rent a cottage on a farm, one is level headed one is an alcoholic and the other is a princess. Pretty typical but the very ending did shock me!

Oooh this was a good’un! Fast paced, thrilling and tons of twists!! Would recommend, 4 stars from me.

I'm a huge Gilly Macmillan fan however this one just didn't grab me - I usually enjoy multiple pov in a novel but this I felt didn't quite work

The Long Weekend is fast paced and full of twists however, there was just something about it that made it hard for me to really get into. This is the first book I’ve read by Gilly MacMillan but I’d definitely try her others.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy of this ebook in exchange for my honest review.

Fast paced and gripping from the start, I loved this tense thriller. I enjoyed the development of the characters and the history of the relationships and dynamics as well as the rather desolate but beautiful location for this story. It built to a thrilling climax and kept me hooked throughout - a real pager turner!

A very tense dramatic read that had me wondering what on earth was going on and who to trust throughout. The characters were all very flawed and the novel was told through many different points of view which made it really interesting seeing events fom all different sides. I was really glad I wasn't on this weekend trip away with such dysfunctional people. I enjoyed the tension and style of writing, I think this would make a very good T.V thriller.

A group of friends go for a remote weekend in a Scottish barn, only things don’t quite go as planned.

Brilliantly written, with good depth to the plot. Easy to engage and didn’t guess until the big reveal.

Grateful for the ARC.

I found this book very confusing.

Books with multiple narrators are nothing new, but this one absolutely fails to distinguish clearly between them. With the exception of the mysterious killer, all the other characters just seem to chip in randomly.
Yes, I know it can be irritating when every page has the name of a different person, but in this case, it's very confusing to have so many indistinguishable voices all piping up.

The Long Weekend felt like a Very Long Read.
It dragged on. Filled with unlikeable or utterly unpleasant characters, it took a very long time to get going.

Three women who don't much like each other stomp about in bad weather on a hillside cut off from civilisation and mobile phone signals wondering where their husbands are and whether they may have slept with a woman who has sent a note to say she's killed one of them. Hoax, game or just general weirdness?

Meanwhile, the daughter of a fourth woman is in serious peril from somebody who ought to be looking after her.

It didn't work for me. Sorry.

With thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for my copy.
