Weekend in Weighton is a modern and edgy detective story. The story is unconventional, original, and humorous. 26 year old Eddie G. decides one day that he wants to be a private investigator. Things take a turn for the worse after his first client is murdered a short time after she hired him. Eddie was the last person seen with her, so naturally he is the cop's first suspect. Eddie does not trust the police at all, so he launches his own investigation to find who murdered his client and clear his name.The writing is superb. The plot is exciting and the dialogue is always entertaining. Eddie G. is sarcastic and arrogant. He doesn't always make the smartest choices, and his attitude often leads to more problems for him. At times, he is able to talk his way out of a bad situation, but not everyone appreciates his unique sense of humor, and there are times when Eddie tries to charm his way through a situation, only to create worse problems for himself in the end. Eddie's attitude is also what makes him likable and relatable. He doesn't have all the answers, but he is undeterred in his quest nonetheless. You will feel sorry for Eddie and laugh out loud at his witty one-liners at the same time. The many plot twists and turns will keep you guessing and at the edge of your seat. Try as you might, you won't be able to figure out where the author is going. This is a truly riveting book!Reading Weekend in Weighton is like riding a roller coaster - in a good way! You will always be wondering what is around the next corner, and you will be entertained the whole way through. You will not want to put the book down, and when you finish, you will have such a rush that you will want to do it all over again. Weekend in Weighton never gets old no matter how many times you read it. The humorous and original writing remains fresh and funny, and the plot is simply brilliant. I would recommend this book to anyone. You are sure to enjoy it. You will never be bored while reading, and I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
