Finished: Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six (Unger) A good page-turner about three couples who go for a weekend to a beautiful secluded cabin, only to be stuck there by a raging storm, and at the same time, unknowingly stalked by a dangerous person. Hannah and her husband, Bruce, have been married for awhile and have a baby daughter. When Hanna's high-tech "mogul" brother, Miko, insists that they, along with his wife Liza, and Hannah's best friend, Cricket and her new boyfriend, Joshua, join him at the expensive rental, secrets and demons are soon exposed. Is there still something between high school sweethearts Miko and Cricket? Why is Liza so distraught to be pregnant after two miscarriages? What kind of work does Bruce do for Miko that he can't share with Hannah? Are Miko's past deeds going to come back to haunt them all as the stalker closes in? Or, is Miko in danger from family connections that he's not even aware of? Bracken, the owner and caretaker of the cabin, is mysterious and a little bit suspicious. Then, every so often there is a chapter about Henry, who was orphaned as a young boy, but still managed to make something of himself. He must inevitably be connected to one of the other characters, but how? The book stays suspenseful as everything comes to a head with the deranged stalker there to do harm to whoever gets in the way of his/her mission! The perfect read for a couple of long airplane rides heading to vacation. :-)
