The Last Weekend, by Blake Morrison

Read on the Kindle for Book Club, Sarah C's choice.

We all had to choose our book club books quite a way in advance, and this book was added to the list back in May.  In August, before the time came to read the book, they showed an adaptation on ITV, and I made the mistake of watching the TV show before reading the book.

Whilst a fairly faithful adaptation, the TV series set up the suspense from the start, which in the book develops more subtly as you gradually realise that all is not as it should be, and perhaps the narrator is not altogether reliable.

A very dark book.
