Finished it in one sitting—the tension after that cookout argument just keeps ratcheting up, and the lakeside setting makes every quiet moment feel menacing. The pacing is relentless, but I never felt rushed; it's the kind of thriller that makes you double-check your own rental cabin's locks.

Finished it in one sitting, the slow-burn dread of that cookout argument just keeps gnawing at you long after Ryan and Monica settle in. The way the security analyst angle feeds into the suspense feels smart without being showy. Perfect rainy weekend read.
