That weekend

Two friends go on a trip. Just one trip... That Weekend is a gripping, addictive thriller, full of twists and turns, with a surprising ending.

Orla and Kate have been best friends for a long time. Together, they've faced a lot—from Orla's challenge as a new mother to Kate's complicated divorce. And no matter what's going on in their lives, every year they take a weekend trip together. Alone, taking time for themselves.

That weekend, the destination is Lisbon. To start this short vacation in style, there's nothing better than an unforgettable evening: a champagne-filled dinner at a sophisticated restaurant. And why not stretch it out at a bar afterward?

The next morning, when Orla wakes up, still hungover and feeling guilty for leaving her husband alone with their little daughter, she discovers her friend has disappeared. She goes to the police, but they inform her that she must wait twenty-four hours to report a missing person. So all she can do is wait. Hours pass, and Kate doesn't appear. Terrified, Orla realizes she is her friend's only hope.

With only a vague memory of the previous night's events, she decides to retrace her steps. What unfolds next is a series of devastating discoveries that threaten everything she holds dear. Orla knows that Lisbon is keeping the secret of what happened that night, but she has no idea that the truth may be closer than she imagines...

A breathtaking thriller with immersive writing, That Weekend will be adapted into a film by Netflix and starring Leighton Meester. It's the perfect read for fans of Paula Hawkins and Gillian Flynn.
