The perfect girls' weekend turns deadly in this twisty unforgettable thriller that is perfect for fans of Shari Lapena and Riley Sager.

A girls' weekend to die for.

New friends Sam, Margaret and Diana are thrilled to be getting out of the city for a girls’ weekend - they’ve bonded over their messy divorces, and every mile on the odometer feels like another step towards putting their exes in the past. But when car trouble halfway into their trip strands them in the most unlikely of mountain towns, they come face-to-face with the hurts and betrayals they were so desperate to leave behind.

When Diana doesn't return home after a night out, Sam and Margaret's search for her reveals just how little they know about their friend. As eerie coincidences and secrets begin to pile up, and an ex-boyfriend arrives in the tiny town, the women realize that their detour may not have been a mistake...and that someone wants to guarantee that they never make it out.

"Konen knows how to write great dialogue and keep readers surprised ... will make you wonder who your friends really are."—Albany Times Union

"This page-turner will appeal…Chilling.”—Publishers Weekly

“This twisty and increasingly disturbing story has a delicious, unhinged energy, hinting at all manner of suspects as the women’s motives are gradually revealed to be even deeper—and perhaps darker—than they first seemed.”—BookPage

I thought it was a good story. Great narration. A little hard to follow for a minute, but all came together.

Good story

I wanted something different. Well, I got it. I admit that I was guessing who done it all the way up to the very end. But I have to admit that if you hate listening to women overthink and complain then this might not be the book for you. Of course all that is necessary to set the scene. I am not one to start a book and not finish it. And I did finish in just a couple days.

Something different

The story was great, well, up until the end. The ending was sort of underwhelming.
The writers portrayal of the ladies you would think they were in their 60’s. Overall good book but not so fantastic ending.

It was okay

Pro:Great suspense the whole way. Interesting story. Con: Women narrating men's voices sounds feminine. Sometimes hard to distinguish characters voice.

Complex, sometimes dark and intriguing

This was a very pleasant surprise. Suspenseful through and through. Interesting plot line and enjoyed the chapters were broken up so that we heard from each character from their point of view. Highly recommend.

Lots of twists and turns!

Had me guessing the whole time. Totally didn't see where that was going! The book and story was great, though a few of the voice actors where not very good.
