Grace is not a woman to be trifled with, as her husband is about to discover. When she stumbles upon him getting amorous with another woman in their backyard cain, she locks them inside and turns off the electricity. Dominic and his lady friend try to escape, but Grace has other plans for the cheating couple, and she knows just what to do- she’s sone it before after all. This book is a vicarious thrill for every woman who’s ever been cheated on. Is it wrong to say I was pulling for the villain ??

The part that I enjoyed most about this book is the ending. I found it pretty decent. Otherwise not much happens and things are very predictable. Basically the synopsis is 80% of the book.
Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for allowing me to read this book!
Grace and Dominic have been married for some time and she allows for, well, let's face it, a man cave cabin to be built in their garden. As a surprise she leaves a work thing early to spend time with her husband. Who instead surprises her with his affair. What's Grace to do? Lock the door and carry on with her life. Something she has done before.
I do love a quick thriller like this. The dueling POVs and timeline jumps keeps the plot interesting and fast paced. It makes the twists a less predictable. The big twist/reveal here was a nice surprise for me. This is my first read by the author but I will definitely be looking into his other novels.
This book is so, so good. The audiobook is brought to life by the use of two narratives that of Dominic and Grace.
Dominic has built his dream man cave in the bottom of the garden. Started off being for work but now he seems to live down there. Built to a high standard to deter burglars.
One night comes home from a work function early. She was supposed to be staying the night in a hotel. Arriving at the house she finds clothes strewn about the place and not just Dom’s. After searching the house she heads to the garden. There in the throws of passion with a young woman is Dom. Furious she slams the door and turns the key. Unable to get out Dominic and his lover must watch Grace vent her fury through the windows.
How long does she plan to keep them there. Is this the first time she has done something like this???
You won’t want to stop listening to this book. Highly recommended
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to hear an ARC
I really wasn’t sure about this one when I first started listening. Its told from the point of view of Dominic and Grace and I had visions of just listening to the ramblings of both but from opposite sides of the situation. Thankfully that wasn’t the case and your soon thrown into the storyline with a past and present timeline running through it. Very well written to the point your wondering where it’s going and how it’s all going to fit together. It’s an intriguing listen with some great surprises along the way.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read #TheCoupleInTheCabin
I loved this fast paced book. It was all just crazy enough to enjoy everything that happened. It was perfect sequence and consequences mixture. I hate reading about cheating but this time I was surprised I it did not bothered me at all. I was curious and I also suspectes right a part of the things. But not all. And the ending was something I loved, great graet book. Can not wait to read more about this author. Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture Audio for this crazy great copy.
Holy crap that was intense! I feel like I haven’t read a super unputdownable in a long time, so it was great to read/listen to one again.
I pretty much loved everything about this book. I will say, I almost gave up in the beginning because the infidelity got a little bit too much for me. I thought the whole book was going to be super dramatic and heartbreaking, but I’m happy to say that is not how the book turned out. This book is definitely a psychological thriller!
I loved the dual perspective along with the dual timelines for Grace. They done very well and you really felt for both the characters.
Thanks NetGalley and publisher for the digital copy in exchange for my honest review!
An enthralling and sinister modern day thriller. Fast paced and with plenty of twists this really delivered on suspense and believeability. A classic plot of revenge, love and family brilliantly done. I haven’t read anything by Daniel Hurst before, but I will be keeping an eye out.
The narrators were both excellent and really did a great job keeping the reader immersed in the book.
** Review ** The. Couple in the Cabin audiobook by Daniel Hurst.
Narrated by Eilidh Beaton and Matt Bates.
Grace is shocked, angry, and most of all, hell-bent on revenge when she discovers her husband Dominic having a relationship with another woman in their backyard cabin one night. While she decides what to do about Dominic and his lover, she locks them in the cabin.
It may not be the first time Grace has done something like this...Who is the true villain here? Is it Dominic? Does Grace deserve revenge or is she the one who deserves it?
A suspenseful thriller filled with plot twists, The Couple in the Cabin audiobook is a must-listen. Grace's antics made me smile a few times, but will her revenge go too far? The narration is excellent with wonderful voice inflections. This audiobook was well-written, and I enjoyed listening to it!
The Couple in the Cabin is available November 1st.
Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for sharing this nail-biting thriller with me. Your kindness is appreciated.

Oh my goodness, I hadnt thought a Daniel Hurst book could get any better but listening to an audio version took it to a whole other level. He just keeps getting better and better.
This was such a great premise and as with all his books, thought it was resolved at the beginning and then it just got better and better.
I was given an advance copy of the audio book by netgalley and the publishers but the review is entirely my own.
"The Couple in the Cabin" is an entertaining, scintillating, and suspenseful tale of love, betrayal, and revenge.
What's a wife to do when she discovers her philandering husband and his mistress making love in her husband's "man cave" cabin?
Lock the door, forget about the key, and turn off the electricity, of course!
Author Daniel Hurst's latest "popcorn thriller" is fast-paced and unputdownable; with multiple twists and turns.
The book featured many eye-rolling moments that, fortunately, did not negatively impact the book's compelling storyline.
Even though the author kept me guessing throughout the book's rollercoaster ride, I was able to accurately predict many aspects of the ending.
Author Daniel Hurst is a gifted and prolific writer who has released 15 books this year and this devoted fan has listened to them all.
Narrators Eilidh Beaton and Matt Bates did a superb job with the audiobook's narration.
Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
4.5 stars
Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture Audio for aprroving my request for this book.
I seen the name & the cover and thought... this might sound good.
Was i right or was i right.... obviously i was right.
I read this in one day, i could not stop listening the power it had on my attention was amazing literally gripping right up til the end. I had to know what was going to happen AND surprised i was half right on the ending which took me to another whole level that i was not fully right.
Switching from what was happening and the past was actually really nice compared to other stories i have read.
Solid 4.5 stars
Grace and Dominic have been married for a while now. Dominic built a cabin in their garden behind their house, a man cave so to speak where he can work and spend some alone time. Well, when Grace come home early from a work event one day, she finds Dominic in the cabin with his mistress and let's say she loses her mind! I don't want to say more than that!!
Wow, this was a wild story. I really enjoyed listening to this one. It goes to show you that you may never know the truth about someone's past or really who there are. I highly recommend this binge-worthy book. THE COUPLE IN THE CABIN was my second book by Daniel Hurst and I am a fan! I'll be looking forward to his future books.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for my copy in exchange for my honest review.
This review will be shared on my Instagram (@coffee.break.book.reviews) in the near future.
WOW! I LOVED everything about this book, and my favorite by the author, Daniel Hurst- A powerhouse!
A twisty unputdownable psychological thriller with lots of sarcastic humor, beautifully blended (which I love)— keeping readers tense, surprised, pleased, shocked, and smiling as the wicked master manipulator, Grace, unfolds her evil plan of REVENGE.
The back story is equally as compelling as the present one! Revenge drives this fascinating thriller, and fans of Kaira Rouda and Victoria Helen Stone's Jane Doe will devour THE COUPLE IN THE CABIN!
Meet Grace and Dominic, married for eleven years and residing in an upscale countryside with a well-maintained English garden. No children.
Dominic wants a man cave (cabin) to be built at the bottom of the garden— a place to work from home— away from the noise and distraction of the house.
He finally talks his wife, Grace, into moving forward with the project, and spares no expense in keeping it secure and safe with the building process.
Dominic loves his new office and worked out of the cabin four days a week, only having to leave it occasionally when he was required to go to this real office in town. He also enjoys it for relaxing with a beer, TV, and we find out later for "other things." His neighbor also wants a cabin.
But the cabin will turn out to be a NIGHTMARE and the place where Grace and Dominic will learn the absolute truth about one another.
Grace has an out-of-town networking event and was supposed to stay at the hotel due to late night meeting, but she thinks she will surprise her husband by coming home instead. When she meets a stranger, Clark, he agrees to drop her off and leaves her car at the hotel.
When she arrives home, she finds a woman's clothing and her husband's lying all over the house. WTH —she cannot believe this and frantically begins searching the house, thinking she will find him in bed with someone. Her blood is boiling. Her husband would never cheat on her. No one does this to Grace. We learn more about what happens when someone crosses her.
However, she cannot find anyone, but where could they be with no clothes? The cabin?
Dominic and Kamilla (half his age)— decide to be adventurous since they have had sex in all the rooms of the main house, apparently while his wife is away.
They decide to go naked to the cabin and continue their night with a bottle of wine because, after all, his wife will not be home until the following day.
However, Grace walks in on the couple having sex on the floor, and she turns around and locks them in the cabin. Shocked, Dominic and Kamilla find themselves trapped. They have no clothes, cell phones, laptops, or keys. The windows do not open since he had it built this way. No one can hear them with the impact windows and doors.
Then Grace goes a little crazy and brings all their clothes and everything of Dominics from the main house to the garden in front of the cabin and sets everything on fire. Is she psycho, a sociopath?
How and when will they get out?
She also turns off the power; they have no bathroom or food in the cabin. Wine is out of the question since no restroom. They both have to go to work the following day. When will she let them out, or will she leave them in there to die?
Grace is so proud of herself and goes off to work the next day in a great mood, and decides she will leave them there until she figures out their punishment and what to do next.
What comes next is a deliciously wicked game of cat and mouse from writing letters sliding under the door and guessing what Grace will do next.
However, Dominic does not know that Grace locked someone else in a shed/cabin when she was ten years old, and the outcome was not good. Is she a murderer? How far will she go?
Does Dominic know his wife? What will she do next?
Gosh, this was so GOOD!
Told from alternating POVs— Grace and Dominic, present day and the past with Grace when she was ten years old. The past story was equally as compelling as its connections to the present. Grace is complex and appealing —keeping you guessing and on the edge of your seat until the very end with a nice twist.
A deliciously dark story with a chilling, funny protagonist! Readers will enjoy seeing how far Grace will go for her revenge, plus there is more about Kamilla to unravel. You will feel sorry for Dominic before it is over.
A HIT! Daniel Hurst shines with this skillfully, deviously, and cleverly crafted sociopath character of Grace and keeps it coming to the wicked conclusion!
Highly recommend!
I just found out this came out this week, yesterday—purchased the e-book, dropped my current read, and started it last evening before bed. Looked down and was at 50%. Got up this morning and finished it straightaway!
Readers, this e-book is only $1.11, or you can read it for free if you are an Amazon unlimited subscriber. Best money you will spend. There are also several teasers at the end of the book with his other works. I am quickly trying to get to his backlist. I also want to listen to the audiobook, and sure it will be a riot! I would not mind seeing more of Grace in future books. READ THIS BOOK!
A nice surprise today: A special thanks to #NetGalley and #BookoutureAudio for an ALC narrated by Eilidh Beaton and Matt Bates for a wild-ride entertaining performance!
