Description

Some people stay all summer long on the idyllic island of Belle Isle, North Carolina. Others come only for the weekends-and the mix between the regulars and “the weekenders” can sometimes make the sparks fly. Riley Griggs has a season of good times with friends and family ahead of her on Belle Isle when things take an unexpected turn. While waiting for her husband to arrive on the ferry one Friday afternoon, Riley is confronted by a process server who thrusts papers into her hand. And her husband is nowhere to be found.

So she turns to her island friends for help and support, but it turns out that each of them has their own secrets, and the clock is ticking as the mystery deepens...in a murderous way. Cocktail parties aside, Riley must find a way to investigate the secrets of Belle Island, the husband she might not really know, and the summer that could change everything.

Told with Mary Kay Andrews’ trademark blend of humor and warmth, and with characters and a setting that you can’t help but fall for, the New York Times bestseller The Weekenders is the perfect summer escape.

    This was the first book I read by the author and I liked it enough to give another book a try. I found it a little predictable, yet enjoyable and it kept me entertained.

    But oh so annoying. The people are entitled and boring. It felt tired the whole way thru, and a little difficult to relate to. Not enough anger at certain developments. Sorry.
  • Quick Read

    This book read like a "made for TV movie". Characters were serious but at odd times humorous. Storyline and characters could have been better developed. Although I read the entire book, I never felt "tied" to this book. I felt I had to finish it because I paid for it. Should have waited to check it out at the library.
  • Very enjoyable!

    Great read! Not sure if I wanted to live at Belle Island or be a character in the book but it was so much fun. Loved reading it over the week of the 4th.

    ....hope there'll be a sequel. Really liked the characters, setting & the plot. It held my attention most times (ducked out & played Scrabble from time to time). Will read more from this author. Thought it was going to be corny like Danielle Steel or Gothic Romancy, but it was a book for grown ups - women, of course. If you don't like it, look me up and I'll give you 5 bucks.😏
