The Summer House: A Thriller
When seven murder victims are found in a small-town lake house, the homicide investigation shakes a local sheriff to her core in this gripping thriller from the world's #1 bestselling author. Once a luxurious southern getaway on a rustic lake, then reduced to a dilapidated crash pad, the Summer House is now the grisly scene of a nighttime mass murder. Eyewitnesses point to four Army Rangers--known as the Night Ninjas--recently returned from Afghanistan. To ensure that justice is done, the Army sends Major Jeremiah Cook, a veteran and former NYPD cop, to investigate. But the major and his elite team arrive in sweltering Georgia with no idea their grim jobs will be made exponentially more challenging by local law enforcement, who resists the Army's intrusion and stonewall them at every turn. As Cook and his squad struggle to uncover the truth behind the condemning evidence, the pieces just won't fit--and forces are rallying to make certain damning secrets die alongside the victims in the murder house. With his own people in the crosshairs, Cook takes a desperate gamble to find answers--even if it means returning to a hell of his own worst nightmares ...

WOW!!! This book had me hooked from the get go. I actually prefer the type of mystery/thrillers that keep me guessing "whodunit" until the end. I usually don't enjoy the books where the villain is revealed pretty early in the story because then the story and author has to create so much more excitement and interest in order to keep me reading. No disappointment with Summer House.
Action packed from the get go and I love how the story unfolded and the twists and turns of the plot. Good grief!!! I felt so on edge throughout most of the story, I had a hard time turning the story off. I also enjoyed the reference to Amy Cornwall from the Cornwalls are Missing (another DuBois character for another one of DuBois's great books). However, unlike Amy Cornwall (who never got a second book - bummer), I really hope that Major Cook and his team get another book.
On another note, up until a few months ago, I had never listened to an audiobook. Since then, I have really enjoyed listening to them during my daily morning exercise routines. It's been fun to see the way people look at me when I all of a sudden start laughing at something I've heard. It's been interesting putting voices to the characters of the book. It's also allowed me to blow through my to-read list.
