Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six by Lisa Unger

Hannah and her husband Bruce along with two other couples decide to go away for a long weekend at an isolated cabin. Hannah isn't wild about the idea since it means leaving their toddler home with Grandma, but she thinks her husband might be cheating on her and this will be a chance to reconnect. All six of them have secrets from their partners and each other. The cabin is opulent but creepy, the property is creepy, the host is creepy, even the private chef is creepy. And there's a hurricane bearing down on them. As well as a maniac.

I just finished two novels that were literary fiction, so I needed something different, a change of pace, so I decided to try Lisa Unger's upcoming suspense novel. This is the first book I've read where the plot depends so heavily on DNA technology. 

People should know better by now than to go someplace that is basically cut off from civilization, especially when your companions are more like frenemies than friends. You know it's not going to end well. What's so great about being off the grid and unable to use your cell phone or computer??? 

Most of the characters were annoying and the ending was a little too neat. There are two story lines and it was interesting to see how they tied together. Overall, I wasn't that wowed, but fans of suspense fiction will like it.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an eARC.
