⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Weekend by L. H. Stacey is a thrilling mystery about a young woman who returns to Kirkwood manor after ten years for a memorial weekend for her deceased lover...

The story takes place over the course of one weekend and centers around the protagonist's attempt to find out what really happened to Thomas on the night he died. Invited back by Thomas' grieving mother Ada for a reunion that turns out to be more sinister than she could have imagined. As the events unfold, it becomes clear that Ada is on a mission to catch the killer of her son.

This book has a brilliant cover and an extremely readable writing style. Although some parts of the plot were far-fetched and eye-roll inducing, it was still highly entertaining and kept me engaged from start to finish. The pacing was well-done, with enough twists and turns in the story to keep me guessing until the very end.

Overall, if you are looking for an enjoyable mystery with an intriguing cast of characters, then I would definitely recommend The Weekend by L. H. Stacey.
