What to expect

THE BRAND NEW, ADDICTIVE UP-ALL-NIGHT THRILLER

Six friends. Five secrets. One holiday to die for . . .
Welcome to THE WEEKEND.

When a group of friends rent a converted farmhouse in the Yorkshire Dales, they have little idea that this one weekend may change the course of their lives forever.

While out on a walk, a storm descends and the friends take shelter in the mouth of an old lead mine. Inside, they discover a backpack filled with more money than they've ever seen.

Of course, they agree, they will hand the money to the police at the first opportunity. But as the storm continues and time passes, some of the party begin to think again. Because there are secrets festering at the heart of this group. Debt. Obsession. A career on the brink. Problems that could be solved instantly with an unexpected windfall.

And perhaps they don't know each other as well as thought they did.

Before long, six good friends find themselves sliding headlong into a world of deceit, treachery, betrayal and murder . . .

Critics Review

Expectations are always high with the publication of a new title by Logan . . . His trademark straightforward storytelling relies on creating very believable everyday characters in unsensational circumstances from which he manages to conjure extraordinary drama.
Daily Mail
A brilliant thriller, full of deceit and backstabbing.
Heat Book of the Week - five star review
[T.M. Logan is] a master at plunging everyday people into dark moral dilemmas before delivering twists and turns at breakneck speed, and a finale that packs a real punch. A hugely enjoyable pageturner that readers will struggle to put down.
Daily Express
A masterclass in escalating suspense.
Crime Monthly
A fiendishly gripping 'What would I do?' thriller, which explores what it takes to crack apart a group of lifelong friends. This is T.M. Logan at his finest, delivering a rocketing pace, whiplash twists, and a stylish denouement.
Lucy Clarke
T.M. Logan starts his new thriller with a moral choice any of us would struggle over - and then unleashes a rollercoaster of devastating secrets and beautifully judged reveals. The Weekend is a belter, gripping from the first page and never letting go...
Tim Weaver
T.M. Logan gets unbelievably better with every single book and this is his most head-spinning, brilliant one yet. A deliciously dark premise, characters you can't stop thinking about and a twist that gets you in the gut.
Jo Spain
The Weekend has it all - dangerous secrets, twisted lies, a pace to die for, and the ultimate what would you do dilemma. A one-sitting read, I devoured it.
Andrea Mara
The Weekend begins in trademark TM Logan fashion: ordinary people faced with a gripping moral dilemma. The tension soon ramps up, the plot cracking along at breakneck speed, with twists and turns galore. A heady cocktail of money, murder and mystery.
Vaseem Khan
This is T.M. Logan at his best - a premise that hooks you straight into this utterly gripping thriller, where six friends have their loyalties tested to the limit when faced with a moral dilemma. After I finished the book, it sparked a whole conversation in my house about what we would do in the same situation, which for me, is the sign of a great read.
