Weekend Away: Spy it! Score it!

' The Weekend away' by Sarah Alderson tempted me to request for it by its premise of a who dunnit.The cover is beautiful and depicts the underlying them of a holiday but it conveniently hides what you will experience while reading the story.This is the first time I am reading any work of Sarah Alderson and after this story she goes into my lists of authors whose works I will look out for.This book has all things that you expects from a mystery thriller, fast paced, events revealing itself in unlikely times, plot twists and a grand ending that will land you that punch in the gut.Orla and Kate are long time friends, who have knwon each other for many years but by the time you read the story you start questioning whether do we really know the people we think we know.They have this ritual of going on a weekend away every year and this year they have planned to go to Lisbon. A perfect Airbnb home, a perfect setting, a weird landlord, an exciting night out. The next morning when orla wakes up she finds her friend missing with no memories of the night. Here begins her journey to look for Kate.Its a pacy read although started slowly. I would have loved to guess who the perpetrator was but unfortunately I couldnt but I was thrilled as I was in for a real surprise as to how the story progressed and just when I thought i had made peace with the explanation the author delivers a twist.......Read this thriller if you like to be surprised at the end.I thank the author, publisher and Netgalley for accepting my request to review the book. The opinions expressed are entirely mine.

Iris and Katie, two best friends planned a weekend away. But then something terrible happened. Katie found dead while Oria was unconscious because of excessive drinking. Who killed Katie?Well, there is nothing to say more about this story. Its plot is good but I personally find the ending a little bit dragging.I loved the characters of Oria and Rob but didn't feel connection with other characters of the story.But psychological thriller fans definitely can read it.

Set in Lisbon, The Weekend Away by Sarah Alderson is the story of two friends who go on a weekend trip to the capital city of Portugal, where one of them goes missing. With the help of a local Uber driver, the other friend then embarks on the journey of finding her friend and the perpetrator of the crime.The twists in the fast-paced story are interesting, but the ending is as predictable as it can get. A lot of red herrings were added to build the smokescreen around the actual culprit and add some much needed twists to an otherwise simple and most expected conclusion.Thanks to the author and the publisher for the ARC.Verdict: One time read.
