First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intro - Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six; Lisa Unger

 


Welcome to First Chapter/Intros, hosted by Yvonne @ Socrates Book Reviews. Each week readers post the first paragraph (or 2) of a book we are reading or plan to read soon.

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six; Lisa Unger
Park Row -2022

Prologue

Christmas Night 2017

The carcass is spread in the middle of the table. Carved, flesh torn away, eaten, ribs exposed.  The turkey when it was removed from the oven, is now just a pile of bones.  Plates are smeared with gravy, wineglasses empty, stained red.  A swath of maroon lipstick mars a white cloth napkin. The lights from the Christmas tree blink, manic.

I used to read everything Lisa Unger wrote but, it's been a while. This catchy title had somewhat of a creep factor for me so I added it to my RIP Challenge list.  What do you think, read more of pass?

    Wow, this one sounds good! The description is a little gory, but I am definitely intrigued.

    I do like the sound of that one yes! I have only read one Lisa Unger so far, but I think I need to read more.

    Thanks for visiting us earlier Diane!

    I liked the title as well, it had that creep factor in the title for some reason or maybe it's because I'm familiar with the author's stylr.

      I thought so as well Yvonne. Unger is good for creating an atmospheric thriller.

      It does sound creepy, I only read a couple of chapters so far but, I think it is going to be good.

    The beginning makes it sound perfect for the RIP Challenge.

    I think so too Deb. The writing in that intro was so blunt and in your face. I can't imagine what is to come.

    I've really enjoyed some of her books but like you, it's been a while since I've read any. I like the premise of this one so I do have it on my radar!

    I haven't read her books in a while. That blurb definitely hold one's attention so I'll read on.

    This one is on my TBR based off the blurb but I'm not so sure about that first paragraph! I look forward to seeing your review.
