The Cabin

I loved this book and how it kept me hooked, I read it in three days! I am just now realizing it’s book #2 and I will be getting the rest to read. This book was just the type of thriller/romance I like.

I really, really liked this book. And, so far, I have thoroughly enjoyed all of Carla Neggers books-of the seven I've read. I like her female characters, who are idependent, self-sufficient women with a mind of their own. Most of them are stubborn. Some make choices that I would never make, but I can understand where they are coming from. And they fall in love with men who are just as independent, self-sufficient, and stubborn as they are, which makes for spicy and intriguing love affairs. I liked The Cabin because it ultimately pulled the married couple back together by each learning that they need to TALK to one another and not keep so many secrets from each other.

I always look forward to reading Ms. Neggers and she hasn't disappointed me with this wonderful story. She starts with a new premise - Jack and Susanna, a couple married 20 years are having some problems and Susanna moves away to regroup, rethink their lives together, not Jack. While Susanna is living up in MA, an unsavory character reappears in Jack's life looking to cause a myraid of problems. This book is well written and totally enjoyable. A true winner.

This is Carla Negger's best book to date. I liked it even more than "The Carriage House", and I loved that book too. How the couple put their marriage back together and solve the "can't put the book down" mystery make for very satisfying reading. If you like romantic mystery, you'll love "The Cabin".

Carla Neggers continues to expand and strengthen the scope of her work. This strong story of a Texas couple under stress crackles with real emotion and first rate suspense. Susanna Galway,a highly successful financial advisor, has fled to Boston to straighten out her life. Her sudden financial success, the maturing of her twin daughters who are spending a year in Boston with their great-grandmother, and the intrusion of her Texas Ranger husband Jack's work have led her to the safety of her grandmother's home and its familiar surroundings. A murder suspect from one of his cases has been stalking her and suddenly unsure of her life she must find a way through this emotional minefield. Things heat up when Alice, a discredited local cop, who blew the murder investigation shows up in Boston as well. Jack quickly follows as does the suspect and the tension mounts. It is all resolved at the Adirondack cabin Susanna has bought in her grandmother's hometown. The family problems and the suspense plot are expertly woven together and fold back on one another in a fashion worthy of Ross MacDonald. The characters are real and fully drawn. The supporting cast is superb.(Note especially the tavern scenes) The emotional issues are real and realistically settled. The suspense is palpable and satisfyingly resolved. Laced with humor and excitement this book marks a further advance in the author's work. A great great read!
