The Long Weekend by Gilly Macmillan

Twisty, dark, and packs a punch... Gripping and genuinely nail-biting.” — Sarah Pearse, New York Times bestselling author of The Sanatorium

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Nanny comes a pulse-pounding thriller perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley. A group of women venture to the most remote place in England for a weekend escape, only to face their darkest fears when they find a chilling note that one of their husbands will be killed before they return home.

Three couples. Two bodies. One secret.

Dark Fell Barn is marketed as the "perfectly isolated" getaway, and that’s exactly what Jayne had in mind when she booked the remote retreat for her group of friends. The former Army officer is hoping that a quiet, secluded weekend will help them all escape their troubles. Jayne arrives with Ruth, a driven doctor and new mother battling her own inner demons, and Emily, newly married and still insecure as the newest member of this close-knit circle. Missing this year is Edie, the friend who was once their glue but who has drifted away since the sudden death of her husband.

But their hopes for a peaceful weekend are shattered when they find a disturbing note waiting for them: one of their husbands will die before they get back home. With no phones and no cell service, they’re unable to check on their men or call for help. Paranoia sets in, and the friendships that have held them together begin to unravel as betrayals and hidden secrets come to light.

As the tension escalates, the group realizes they’ve been hiding too much from each other for far too long. Who can they trust? And will they make it through the weekend alive?

The Long Weekend is a fast-paced, chilling thriller that explores the dark side of friendship and the terrifying potential for betrayal. With gripping twists and a storyline that won’t let you go, this novel by Gilly Macmillan is impossible to put down.

“Fast-paced and incredibly compelling... this book will not let you put it down.” — Shari Lapena, New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door
