Vengeance, money and murder are menacing companions when they meet in the quiet stillness of an Adirondack winter.
Texas Ranger Jack Galway knows his wife Susanna loves him, so when their marriage hits a rough patch, he supports her decision to take their teenaged daughters to Boston for a break. But now a couple of weeks has turned into several months and Jack has had enough. He wants his family back.
Ex-convict Alice Parker left a mess back in Texas, and she'll never forgive Jack Galway for killing her dream of ever becoming a Texas Ranger herself. Now, guided by greed and vengeance, she's got her sights set on his family.
Packing up the girls and her grandmother, Susanna heads to a cabin in the Adirondacks, trying to escape her fears, her secrets . . . and maybe even the man she loves. Little does she realize they are being followed, only this time by her husband . . . and a murderer.

It could be the lack of a caffeinated beverage in my system, but I found the plot of this book to be very flimsy, and definitely vague. It reads more like an outline for a book, more than the finished product itself. The "relationship" between the husband & wife was the most disappointing & difficult to believe. Certainly not one of Carla Negger's better books.

This book was very good. I had to keep the book with me everywhere I went because, I wanted to take every opportunity to finish it.

Had potenitally good plot, but got bogged down in places and a little light in reality.
Texas Ranger Jack Galaway and his wife Susanna have hit a rough patch in their marriage, and a prolonged seperation hasn't helped matters. Jack is ready to get his family back. Then the Galaway's past catches up with them as they become entwined with an ex-convict, a murderer and a surprising connection to the very distant past.

I just started reading Carla Neggar's books, so far she has not been a dissapoinment. This one was really good, hard to put down.

THE CABIN is one of the most absorbing books I've read in a while. Susanna Galway is a complex character who suddenly has to deal with her own fears about how she's changed and what impact that'll have on her marriage -- all against a backdrop of murder and suspense. And she's such a strong character...I felt like I could both admire her and put myself in her shoes. I loved Jack Galway and how he figures out what's been going on with his wife. This is one of Carla's best.

Husband and wife seperated because of a murder. Husband a Texas Ranger, wife feels responsible for victim's death. Interesting, different and enjoyable.
