The Woman in the Cabin
ByPublisher Description
'Had my heart beating out of my chest. This is the stuff of nightmares!' Reader Review, 5 stars
'One of the most haunting thrillers you'll read... cancel your plans and prepare to fly through the pages to the stunning end. A brilliant read' Graham Bartlett
The brand-new thriller from the bestselling author of The Girl Beyond the Gate!
Deep in the woods, you can hide more than secrets...
Every day, in a remote cabin hidden deep in the woods in the Scottish Highlands, Mary wakes up before dawn to make breakfast from scratch. She tends the garden and feeds the animals. Every night, Mary makes sure she has dinner on the table for when her husband Cal gets home from work.
She puts on his favourite lipstick and greets him with a smile. 'I've missed you.' It's not true and he knows it. But he likes to hear it all the same.
Mary is the perfect wife and like any good wife she knows her job is to keep her husband happy.
But lately as she notices her first wrinkles appear, she can sense Cal change. A scowl at dinner not being ready on time, a too tight grip as he leads her to the bedroom tells her he's noticed too. And old memories are coming back too, of her life before the cabin...
Then she finds a stack of letters hidden under the floorboards detailing a life eerily similar to her own. They're addressed to her: 'To the next woman.'
If she's not the first to play the role of Cal's perfect wife, what happened to the woman in the cabin before her? And how long does she have until she is next?

'Will keep you up all night... loved everything about this... found myself completely unable to put it down for any reason... Right when I thought that they're couldn't be anything else to shock me I was thrown a curve ball that completely shifted the entire narrative of the story. The ending I think had to be the best part.' NetGalley Reviewer, 5 stars

“It was an enjoyable read I was captivated at the beginning, I kind of expected more from the last 10 chapters I don’t know what but I did! I think introducing his mother was a bit clunky it did add a twist but I don’t know how necessary it was”Hillary Kral
