For the most part, this was taut and suspenseful. I imagine that's why it was so off putting when the final few chapters were sappy to the point of silliness.

I did not see THAT coming! I began to slowly put things together, but I still have questions. First, where can I reserve this cabin! It was more than one twist I wasn't quite prepared for but I enjoyed the title all the same. My readers of Unger will love this one too!

This was my first time reading Lisa Unger, and I’m hooked! Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six was a great book. This was a page turner with a lot of twists and turns. I loved the descriptive writing and the plot development. I don’t usually enjoy a ‘locked room’ mystery, but this one was the excuse. I loved the author’s writing style, the family drama, and the twists. This was an exceptionally well written book. I highly recommend this thriller. Thank you NetGalley and Park Row for the ARC.

The locked room thrillers have been killing it this year! There is A LOT going on in this book, but at no point does it ever feel disjointed. Hannah's tech mogul brother found the listing, a secluded hideaway for six couples that boasts gorgeous views, a personal chef, and every amenity you could want . Almost immediately, however, a pervasive sense of dread sets in. The cabin has a dark past, the owner seems a little too eager to offer assistance. and a storm is rolling in, making contact with the outside world near impossible.

Once the couples get settled, Hannah begins to question her brother's motives for bringing them all here. Through a shocking dual timeline, some sins of the past come to light. Hannah doesn't know who she can trust--her brother is hiding something, her husband is acting guilty, and her best friend showed up with yet another new boyfriend, but who is dead set on ruining this trip and seeking vengeance?

I couldn't put this down until I knew how everything would be resolved. It's a long wait until November, so get your hands on an early read now!

A solidly written, fast moving thriller for fans of vacations gone wrong. Unger mixes together a few parts of a locked room mystery with a few parts of the deadly vacation trope and sprinkles in some deep family drama to create an utterly readable novel.
If there was any potentially negative thing to point out, it would be the lack of sympathetic characters. A lot of folks will struggle to find someone to root for and it may be a turn off. For me, I like to read about flawed, fully realized characters, even if I don’t necessarily like them. So I was able to overlook this pretty easily.

Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest feedback.

This thriller kept me turning pages until the wee hours! Three couples, all with dark secrets, go away on a trip to a secluded Airbnb. Mystery and mayhem ensue, of course. definitely made me wary of Airbnbs! I thought the plot went a bit haywire toward the end, but I still really enjoyed reading it.

4 stars
Lisa Unger always comes through with a twisted tale! This book was very intense following 4 seemingly unconnected storylines. I loved reading how everything came together at the final climax.
