The Long Weekend by Gilly MacMillan

For folks who want a little bit more of a taste of White Lotus, here’s a twisty thriller for you. A group of couples have planned a weekend away in Dark Fell Barn, which is set far from everyone on a farm in Northumberland. The women arrive first before their husbands, but when they arrive, there’s a note. One of the woman’s husbands is dead. On top of that, there’s a storm that makes their isolation complete. None of the three women can reach out to their husbands, nor leave the retreat. All they have are their secrets which are all about to come how.
