Summary

A Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick

A New York Times bestseller

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...

Quite good, dragged on a bit

I guessed early on what was happening but still enjoyed hearing it played out. The story skips back and forth in time, which I found confusing, but maybe that was the authors intended effect. The narration was excellent. One of the best I’ve heard. Overall, a good experience.

Very good but a little predictable

I roughly guessed the ending in the first few chapters. Still good though. Will listen again

Awful narration! Spoilt the book.

I've given the story 4 stars as it was different to my usual books and it was enjoyable. However, the narration was awful, almost robotic with no character behind the voice. Overall I've given this a 3 stars because of the very poor 1 star narration.

The house in the pines

Took a while to get into and the thriller aspect nebulous at first. There is something old fashioned about the premise that wasn’t a problem with links to America’s problems with the medical system, over medication etc. There isn’t a fully closed ending but the protagonist does have answers.
