The Final Chapter by Jerome Loubry

 I received an ARC of this book thanks to NetGalley and publisher Hodder & Stoughton in exchange for an honest review.

When David was young and on holiday, his childhood friend went missing. Now a famous author, he and his publisher friend are shocked when one day they receive a book which tells the story of that fateful summer. But their books differ slightly and there is a third unknown recipient out there. With all three books promising to tell the truth of what happened, they must find the third author and discover if any of them is actually a murderer.

This book started off okay but quickly became very boring. In particular, it felt like it dragged around the middle and nothing of interest was happening for a long time. It is actually a relatively simple premise and plot, but the way it was told was so confusing that it became a chore to understand. The characters aren't that interesting or sympathetic, and I felt like the twist at the end was very predictable. Unfortunately this just wasn't for me.

The Girls Weekend by Jody Gehrman

 I received an ARC of this book thanks to NetGalley and publisher Crooked Lane Books, in exchange for an honest review.

The Girls Weekend is the tale of June, a woman who goes on a reunion trip with her old college friends and whose life gets turned upside down when one of those friends vanishes during the trip. Unfortunately it's the least popular friend which makes everyone a suspect in her disappearance.

I really enjoyed this thriller. It's nothing hugely new to be honest but the characters were entertaining enough that I remember most of them months later. It is a really good holiday thriller, the kind to be consumed quickly whilst on a plane or beach. The plot is interesting enough and it will keep you occupied for a few hours.
