It is good light reading, which I seem to need right now, perfect for the beach, where unfortunately I am not.
MY THOUGHTS: 3 stars for The Weekenders by Mary Kay Andrews, a pleasant, but pretty predictable love story with a little murder and fraud thrown in to muddy the waters. 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. 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. 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. Riley Griggs has a season of good times with friends and family ahead of her on Belle Isle when things take an unexpected turn. Others come only for the weekends-and the mix between the regulars and “the weekenders” can sometimes make the sparks fly. THE BLURB: Some people stay all summer long on the idyllic island of Belle Isle, North Carolina. It was the texting equivalent of screaming.
She brushed a stray lock of dark brown hair from her eyes and squinted down at the screen of her smartphone. It was Memorial Day weekend, a tradition they’d established even before they’d gotten married, kicking off the season on the island where Riley’s family had summered for the past hundred years.Īnd yet, here she stood.
Wendell had promised-sworn-he’d meet them at the ferry dock at Southpoint in time to make the last boat over to Belle Isle. And a schemer.īut lately, Wendell’s promises meant nothing. No doubt about it, her husband was a dreamer. When he’d presented her with her engagement ring-a three-carat diamond bigger than any of her girlfriends had-he’d promised it was the start of a life that would be big and rich and exciting. On their first date, he’d promised Riley Nolan she’d never want to date anybody else. EXCERPT: Wendell Griggs was big on promises.
