Every year, the illustrious Van Ness siblings—heirs to a copper fortune—gather at their luxury winery estate for a joint birthday celebration. It's a tradition they've followed nearly all their lives, and now they are back with their significant others for a much-needed weekend of rest and relaxation, away from the public spotlight.
With lavish comforts, gorgeous scenery, and indulgent drinking, the trip should be the perfect escape. But it soon becomes clear that even a remote idyllic getaway can’t keep out the problems simmering in each of their lives. As old tensions are reignited, the three couples are pushed to the edge. Will their secrets destroy them, or will they destroy each other first? And who’s been watching them from beyond the vineyard gates?
When a torrential rainstorm hits, plunging them into darkness, the answers prove all too deadly…
While I have had really good luck with romance so far in the year 2024, I don't seem to be having very good luck with thrillers. The Weekend Retreat was not enjoyable. I probably should have DFN'd it, but for some reason, I wanted to see how it ended. There was a twist, but it was glaringly obvious. My biggest issue with this book was the lack of likable characters. I always try to find someone to root for in a story, but there was literally know one that I cared about at all. The mystery overall was disappointing, so I couldn't even overlook not liking anyone in the book. The ending was really unbelievable and I hated it. I'm disappointed because I liked her previous book, The Mother Next Door. Maybe this is a one-off.
