Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for providing this Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review; all opinions expressed in this review are my own. 

Another racy psychological thriller from Stacy Green featuring the ever intriguing Lucy Kendall is here. As much as I had liked the first two books in the Lucy Kendall series, I must say I loved “The Girl in the Cabin” even more. The story in this book was more focused due to the very clear nemesis we get in the form of Mary; I don’t think I have ever come across a more scary and disturbing character.

Mary is such a cold, unfeeling character with a disturbingly devious and manipulative mind, that by the time the book gets over, a person is sure to pray they never come across such a person in their lives. Lucy, along with Todd, helps the FBI agent assigned to Mary ‘s case  to find her, as Lucy’s old friend Chris, one of the sons of Mary, falls into Mary’s trap and is kidnapped by her. 

Unlike her usual modus operandi, Lucy is forced to work within the confines of law enforcement this time. As a result, Lucy begins to reevaluate her previous actions, to consider if she can do the same work she had been doing without crossing the limits of the law. It was nice to see Lucy coming into her own, as she understands her motivations and resolves the baggage from her childhood trauma.

I especially love this series for the way Green delves into the deviant minds and brings them to life through her words. This is by far my most favorite book of hers and can’t wait to read her next one.

This book gets 5 out of 5 stars.
