About this listen

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.

Fantastic!

The Audible reviews are right: this is a fantastic audiobook! I enjoyed it thoroughly. The suspense builds slowly but begins almost immediately and it's told with a born storyteller's excellent pacing. While most suspense fiction requires too much suspension of disbelief, The Perfect Escape doesn't. The three narrators are spot-on and carry the audiobook extremely well. I'm happy to give it 5 out of 5 stars on every count, and I'll be searching out more books by author Leah Konen in the future.

Enthralling book

It dragged at the beginning but then picked up and I was captivated. The characters are all so flawed, and hard to connect to. But the story is twisty and has a few unexpected turns, plus the narration is great.

The only thing that really grated on me was repeated referrals to 36 year old women as old and unworthy, very juvenile and mean, and just shouldn't be in a book.

Better than I expected

I bought this title on sale, mostly as I enjoy listening to one of the narrators. I listen to a lot of this genre, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was totally listenable, kept me interested and engaged, And much better than the last two full price "thrillers" that I had used credits on, prior to this one (I haven't been able to finish either of those).

I listened to it in just two days. Would recommend.
