Weekend Getaway

by Brian Newsome

Stockbroker Jack Skinner has worked hard to make a good life for his wife and newborn daughter. But the diaper changes, long commutes and pressures of the job have worn him down. The chance to sneak away to Las Vegas to party with an old friend seems like the perfect way to recharge.

A world away from manicured lawns and two-car garages, Rob Hollister is in deep. Real deep. In love with a prostitute and hooked on drugs, he knows walking away is not in his cards. These guys kill for amusement as much as business, and they don’t believe in new beginnings.

In this fast-paced thriller, a suburban family man in pursuit of a weekend getaway finds himself trying to get away with his life. In the grip of evil men with dangerous connections, it’s a party that could come at the price of his family.

Even with the missing words scattered through the book and the initial jumping from one group of people to the next and back again, Weekend Getaway was still an enjoyable read. Further into the book, you start to see how each group of characters intersected with each other and why they were important to the plot. By the end I was rooting for Jack and his small family to be reunited. Would they? I had to know.

Jack, a bored stockbroker with a newborn and increased finances, decides to hit Vegas to meet up with an old college friend and escape life for a minute. What he ends up doing is finding himself in a heap of trouble and on the clock to save his life and family. I really enjoyed this one; fast paced action thriller that keeps you interested throughout.

This was really good up until the last few pages and then the ending was a real let down.

The weekend turned into 2 weeks .... predictable but interesting

If you can get past all the spelling & grammatical errors, it is a pretty good book. The ending leaves a little to be desired, but overall, a good read.

A weekend definitely goes bad in Vegas and a man finds himself in a mess. It had me from the beginning. I definitely enjoyed this book.
