Have you ever dreamed of escaping to a luxury cabin in the woods with your loved ones? A place where you can disconnect from the world and enjoy nature, food and company? A place where nothing can go wrong?

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six is a psychological thriller about three couples who vacation in a luxury cabin in the Georgia woods. With the threat of a hurricane, ulterior motives come to light, deceptions are revealed, and a dark secret surfaces, culminating in murder.

Hannah and her husband Bruce need a break from the hectic lives of her and their newborn daughter. Her older brother Mako, a successful video game businessman, has given them a weekend in a spectacular cabin, with a personal chef, massages and more. The group also includes Makos wife, Liza, whom Hannah hopes to get to know better, and her longtime best friend of hers (and Makos ex-girlfriend), Cricket. The only stranger is Crickets new boyfriend, Joshua.

The three married couples arrive at the summer retreat despite an approaching tropical storm. There are ghost stories on the property that suggest past violence, but they could just be an inventive selling point. The cottages host and owner, Bracken, has a brooding air though (and almost no online footprint), and even scarier, his Wi-Fi promise might not be reliable.

This is Lisa Ungers 20th book, and she cleverly builds the tension from page 1 of a prologue about Christmas dinner with Hannahs family, ending sourly by a mysterious gift of DNA test kits to everyone, from the no one claims to know anything. When the vacationers arrive at the cabin, the ominous mood is in place and everything seems disturbing, from the gleaming set of knives in the kitchen to a skull-shaped lamp. Before they finish the first nights dinner, one of the six disappears and so does contact with the outside world. The others begin a frantic search as the storm approaches and it becomes clear that everyone is in danger... but from whom and why?

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six is a novel full of suspense, unexpected twists and complex characters that will keep you on your toes until the very end. If you like psychological thrillers with a supernatural twist and a claustrophobic setting, dont miss this book by Lisa Unger, a master of the genre.
