Reviews for The Girls Weekend

[Lisa Rosenstreich · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great listen! Interesting, smart characters and a mystery that kept me guessing until the very end. Not to mention a gorgeous sounding location that took me away from life in quarantine. Can't imagine getting through COVID-19 without audio-books!

This one started out strong then went downhill. The characters were unlikable and constantly made stupid decisions that I, as a reader, couldn’t get past. This made it impossible to care about any of them. She did manage to keep me guessing to the end but I had to drudge through the last half of the book.

The book is very wordy. It seemed to drone on. I liked the end it got more exciting

I love mysteries and this audiobook kept me guessing. I thought I knew what was going on early on but I was wrong. A good whodunit.

This book has a lot of potential. Potential that never seems to be seized upon. Undeveloped characters with a weak main character made it tough to get through.

[Shirley Steven · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Suspense! This would be a good book club read, enjoyed it.

[DJG · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

It started off strong, but as time went on, it weakened. They had the same conversations over and over. The characters were becoming really shallow as the story kept going. Some of their decisions made no sense and their reasons were really stupid. It took them almost an hour to figure out if they would call the cops. It just wasn't that good. I didn't even finish, I just skipped to end to find out who did it, even though apparently I knew the whole time.

I had an inkling of whodunnit the whole time but it was a good story nonetheless. Oddly abrupt ending tho…
