The Perfect Escape

By: Leah Konen

Narrated by: Erin Deward, Karissa Vacker, Kelsey Navarro Foster

The perfect girls' weekend turns deadly in this twisty unforgettable thriller that is perfect for fans of Shari Lapena and Riley Sager.

A girls' weekend to die for.

New friends Sam, Margaret and Diana are thrilled to be getting out of the city for a girls’ weekend—they’ve bonded over their messy divorces, and every mile on the odometer feels like another step towards putting their exes in the past. But when car trouble halfway into their trip strands them in the most unlikely of mountain towns, they come face-to-face with the hurts and betrayals they were so desperate to leave behind.

When Diana doesn't return home after a night out, Sam and Margaret's search for her reveals just how little they know about their friend. As eerie coincidences and secrets begin to pile up, and an ex-boyfriend arrives in the tiny town, the women realize that their detour may not have been a mistake...and that someone wants to guarantee that they never make it out.

Good story

I thought it was a good story. Great narration. A little hard to follow for a minute, but all came together.

Something different

I wanted something different. Well, I got it. I admit that I was guessing who done it all the way up to the very end. But I have to admit that if you hate listening to women overthink and complain then this might not be the book for you. Of course all that is necessary to set the scene. I am not one to start a book and not finish it. And I did finish in just a couple days.

Okay book

Kind of hard to follow with so many characters and situations appearing. Readers were good.

Narrator for Margaret.... ruined it.

I just couldn't handle one of the narrators, especially when she was reading a man's part. The story was good, okay. Towards the end, there were unpredictable twists but they didn't really wow me or make me gasp.

2.5 rounded up

Not for me. Unlikable characters In unbelievable situations all the way to an unsatisfying conclusion. Cloying saccharine dialogue and sentiment punctuated with lots of the “F” word feels like trying to cover all bases without really creating a consistent tone.
