About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

By the time you read this, I'll have killed one of your husbands.

In an isolated retreat, deep in the Northumberland moors, three women arrive for a weekend away.

This quiet place, far removed from the rest of the world, is exactly what they need to heal their wounds.

Their husbands will be joining them in the morning. Or so they think.

But upon arrival at Dark Fell Barn, the women find a devastating note claiming one of their husbands will be murdered. There are no phones, and no ways of checking on their loved ones.

Friendships fracture as the situation spins wildly out of control. Betrayal can come in many forms.

This group has kept each other's secrets for far too long.

'Fast paced and incredibly compelling' Shari Lapena

This was such an awesome read and just kept on getting better and better. The more I read, the faster those pages were turning. I was hooked almost from the beginning. A psychological thriller, mystery and suspense, The Long Weekend by Gilly Macmillan has it all. The novel begins in the remoteness of Northumbria as the ladies begin what was supposed to be a relaxing weekend away. However, it turns out to be anything but this. As a storm rages in, the cragginess of the fells of Northumbria becomes treacherous, malevolent and downright scary. A story with many characters, each one playing their own part and each adding to the timeline as events occur. They are all damaged, in their own way, and this just adds to the suspense as I tried to get to grips with what was going on. I had absolutely no idea what was going to happen next and everything, literally every tiny thing, was a surprise. The author got this dead right, and I didn’t know the identities of bad guys and victims right up until it was revealed. If you want to read something to keep you on your toes, then read The Long Weekend by Gilly Macmillan, full of ‘what the hell’ moments, I guarantee it’ll keep you guessing until the end. I was lucky enough to be included in the blog tour for this book, so thank you to NetGalley and Random House UK and Century Books for the opportunity to read and review an ARC of The Long Weekend by Gilly Macmillan.
