Those Empty Eyes by Charlie Donlea is a thriller you'll want to add to your summer reading list. "It's been ten years since Alexandra Quinlan was arrested for killing her family. When evidence pointed to her not being the killer charges were dropped. Alex testified at her highly publicized defamation lawsuit against the police department. With the help of her lawyer, a family friend, she won a large judgement. Alex changes her name and moves away because the True Crime junkies all believe she got away with murder. But Alex never stops looking for the person responsible for killing her family. Now she's an investigator for a law firm and finds similarities with one of her cases to that of her parents. Will she finally have the answers she's looked for?" Donlea grabs you from the very beginning. You are mesmerized by the trial and the events of the evening where Alex's family was gunned down. Donlea eventually jumps to Alex as an investigator while also filling in the background of the story. It all leads to a wild ending. And a twist you feel coming but never believe he'll actually go there. The middle third of the book is slower than the beginning and end but still worth it. I did not want to stop reading this book. Vivienne Leheny does a fabulous performance with the audiobook narration. There are many emotional moments and she nails them. Another great thriller to add to the beach bag this year.

Secluded Cabin Sleeps is the newest novel from Lisa Unger. "Three couples rent a remote, luxury cabin in the woods for a weekend getaway. Something is off though. The private chef tells them of the murder that happened there years ago...and the young girl that haunts the lake. The owner is a little creepy and there's a big storm headed their way. But unknown to the group - there's someone lurking in the woods that's unwilling to let secrets lie buried any longer." There are several storylines so this takes a while to get going. There are the usual secrets of a thriller - the previous bad family decisions - a storm knocking the power out - and betrayal. It initially feels like it's going to be an "adults behaving badly" story but Unger adds more. She is one of a growing number of writers who are including the consequences of sharing DNA on geneology sites. Unger hides the bad guy and the betrayal well. There are clues but you're never sure. There is a Brad at the end who gets a paragraph. He's a tech mogul, money launderer who gets decapitated. Again, no love for Brads. Great job on the audiobook by Vivienne Leheny. Lots of voices and characters. Fans of domestic thrillers will enjoy this new story from Unger. Thanks to Harper Audio for the advanced listening copy. Have you sent your DNA to a site?
