Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six is a psychological thriller about three couples from the family, who vacation in a luxury cabin in the woods of Georgia. With the threat of a hurricane, hidden motives come to light, affairs are revealed, and a dark secret is discovered, concluding in murder.
There are numerous characters and multiple points of view to keep track of, some of which are completely unnecessary. The timeline is written alternating between the past and present. I did not connect to any of the characters since they really did not have any background and what we did learn about them was very superficial .
The plot is beyond convoluted . Yes, big cabin with no power and a killer on the loose. Easy enough, but all of the unimportant things that did not matter. There are too many characters, and some of the storylines are never resolved.
There were some good parts to this book: The plot did have potential, and the isolated cabin elevated the creepiness, but overall I was hoping all the pieces would come together for me in the end. Nope. I was left feeling confused with at least one if not two unanswered questions. I have read other book by Lisa Unger and they have been hit or miss for me. Unfortunately, I really wanted this to hit, but it was a miss.
