House in the Pines - Ana Reyes

Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick. A spine-chilling superbly atmospheric Gothic thriller about a series of unexplained deaths and a cabin deep in the New England woods. A bewitching page-turner for fans of The Whisper Man by Alex North and The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward. This is the story of a house. The cabin lies deep in the woods where the trees are so dense it's easy to miss. On the outside it might look like it's crumbling crawling with weeds but on the inside it's warm and cosy. A fire crackles in the fireplace. Dinner simmers on the stove. Maya once saw this cabin as an idyllic place like a cottage from a fairy tale but now she knows the danger that lurks beneath. The summer she visited the cabin was the summer her best friend Aubrey died. Now another woman from Maya's hometown has died in the same strange unexplained way and Maya believes only she can save the next innocent girl. Guided by her fractured memory and a mysterious unfinished book by her late father Maya returns home to face the house in the pines and the man who waits there - the man she's tried so hard to forget . . .
