We found The Weekend Guests tense and observant, using fractured friendships and shifting memories to show how unresolved guilt destabilises even the most familiar social bonds.
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
A weekend escape on the wild Dorset coast promises rest and reconnection. Seven adults, six children, a hired childminder and a beautiful house by the sea. Old friends reunited, champagne poured, the rhythm of the waves close enough to drown out everyday life. It should be idyllic.
But tensions simmer beneath the surface. Relationships shift, old dynamics reassert themselves and memories refuse to stay buried. When the parents leave for a rare night out and return to catastrophe, the holiday fractures beyond repair.
Fourteen years earlier, five students in Edinburgh shared a moment that changed everything. A mistake so serious it was never spoken of, never acknowledged, and carefully locked away. They believed it was known only to them.
They were wrong.
As past and present collide, this is a gripping psychological thriller about friendship, guilt and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. Set between windswept beaches and student streets, it explores how secrets endure and what happens when they finally demand to be faced.
