Publisher's summary

***Now a Netflix Original movie, starring Leighton Meester, streaming globally.***

Miles from home. Trust no one. Suspect everyone.

Orla and Kate have been best friends forever. Together they’ve faced it all – be it Orla’s struggles as a new mother or Kate’s messy divorce. And whatever else happens in their lives, they can always look forward to their annual weekend away.

This year, they’re off to Lisbon: the perfect flat, the perfect view, the perfect itinerary. And what better way to kick things off in style than with the perfect night out?

But when Orla wakes up the next morning, Kate is gone. Brushed off by the police and with only a fuzzy memory of the night’s events, Orla is her friend’s only hope. As she frantically retraces their steps, Orla makes a series of shattering discoveries that threaten everything she holds dear. Because while Lisbon holds the secret of what happened that night, the truth may lie closer to home…

A twisty holiday read from the USA Today bestselling author.

WOW! Twists and Turns Everywhere! Loved it!

I loved this book. It kept me guessing. Narration was perfect. My husband asked about this book I was listening to and I told him the plot and even he was shook. LOL Loved it!!

murder mystery

the story started off with great imagery of a regular young mother. it went on from there with a series of shocking discoveries.
The path to the end was twisted with new characters but got a bit boggled down with diversions.

Loved it

I really enjoyed the Weekend away. Narration was very good and story kept my interest until the end. Even when I forgot the timer and slept through the last couple of chapters I had to rewind and listen to make sure I knew what happened and didn’t miss a thing. Will

It was entertaining

Overall I liked the book. I like the twist at the end of the book. I wish I knew what she did with the information she learned but that’s where it ended.
