Reviews
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.
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...
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.
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.
