Synopsis

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 Weekenders is the perfect summer escape.

Goodreads review by Cyndy on May 29, 2016

I had a tough time deciding what to rate this book. After all, I did finish it, so it wasn't terrible. I just can't justify giving it more than 2 stars, though. I have spoilers later on, so be careful reading too far. It was advertised in the NYT Book Review, which is where I start with my book readi......more

Goodreads review by Debbie on April 20, 2016

The Weekenders was received as part of the Goodreads Firstreads Giveaway. This book made me sad in so many ways.
