"A hugely entertaining and addictive thriller with a fascinating premise that pulls you in tight and just doesn’t let go."
Question: if you were on a weekend break with family and friends, and found a hidden backpack full of cash, what would you do? And that is the joy of this novel, all the way through you can place yourself in among the characters and react to their decisions. Along the way I found myself raising my eyebrows, nodding, shaking my head, screwing my face up, and flinching… and it ensured I felt present and in the moment as I read. T.M. Logan writes with an assured hand, it feels as though he would have had an absolute blast writing this. Short sharp chapters kept the story moving, while secrets, lies, and a whole load of doubt populate the pages. The likability scale of the characters ranges and changes as understanding comes into play, and I wondered whether I could actually trust anyone. I thoroughly enjoyed the information drops that landed among the characters as truth bombs detonated and kept the story oh-so interesting. I think this has a rather fabulous ending, just a few words, yet full of impact and I clapped my hands in appreciation. Smart as heck and hugely entertaining, The Weekend makes for compulsive reading, so this comes with a whopping thumbs up from me.

THE BRAND NEW, ADDICTIVE UP-ALL-NIGHT THRILLER
Welcome to THE WEEKEND . . .
When a group of friends rent a converted farmhouse in the Yorkshire Dales, they have little idea that this one weekend may change the course of their lives forever.
While out on a walk, a storm descends and the friends take shelter in the mouth of an old lead mine. Inside, they discover a backpack filled with more money than they've ever seen.
Of course, they agree, they will hand the money to the police at the first opportunity. But as the storm continues and time passes, some of the party begin to think again. Because there are secrets festering at the heart of this group. Debt. Obsession. A career on the brink. Problems that could be solved instantly with an unexpected windfall.
And perhaps they don't know each other as well as thought they did.
Before long, six good friends find themselves sliding headlong into a world of deceit, treachery, betrayal and murder . . .
