That Last Weekend by Laura DiSilverio
has more twists and turns than a roller coaster. Okay, I know that
roller coasters don't really have twists and turns as much as they
have ups and downs, but I can't think of anything twisty. Anyway,
the author is going to keep you guessing until the last chapter (no
peaking).
The premise of The Last Weekend is five
college friends who meet yearly until one weekend one of the women
(Evangeline) is pushed off a fifth floor balcony and the police can't
figure out who among the four is guilty. That was the last weekend
all of them were together.
Ten years later, an invitation arrives
for each of the women and all four decide to attend. Laurel, now a
judge, wants to attend to try to solve the crime, Dawn is an artist
who has just not found her audience and feels like a failure. Geneva,
a therapist who took some time out after college to get her act
together and get on the right track, is happily married and eight
months pregnant. Ellie just sent her twins off to college and is
feeling a bit like a failure and ready to try something new. All of
them have a reason to have pushed Evangeline, but all of them declare
their innocence.
I have enjoyed all of the series that
this author has published. My favorite is The Mall Cop series and I
wish there had been more. This is the first standalone book I have
read by Laura DiSilverio I have read. It is excellent, with more
layers than I thought possible. Just when you think you have it all
figured out, she throws in another twist, an angle I hadn't
considered.
I look forward to the next book by
Laura DiSilverio. I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley, this
review is my opinion.
