Another Mary Kay Andrews book I recently finished is The Weekenders. The luxury and grandeur of having an island vacation home drew me into this book but when the main characters life unravels in the first few chapters you are quickly invested in her life, the destiny of the island and its inhabitants. Not to mention it is a true who done it type of mystery. My Mom had also just read this book so I was constantly throwing out my guesses on who the murderer was but I never thought of the guilty party! Another fun and easy Summer read to unwind with.
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.
