In this short thriller from number one New York Times best-selling authors Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, narrated by actress Kate Mara, a young woman’s dream getaway becomes her worst nightmare.

Prepare yourself for a transformative experience. Sometimes, life’s setbacks contain hidden gifts. Here at Lakewood, you’ll find the space to unwrap them.

A weekend at the Lakewood Retreat is exactly what Chloe Powell needs. Freshly unemployed after her boss loses a reelection campaign, the former press secretary desperately wants a break from the bustle of Washington, DC. A flier posted at her yoga studio leads her to the getaway, which looks amazing: Organic meals, celebrity testimonials, and a serene private property within driving distance of the city.

It’s so perfect, in fact, that Chloe’s barely bothered by the intensely personal questions she’s asked in her application, or the unnerving social experiments her enigmatic host, Sebastian, imposes on her once she arrives at his remote cabin. But when a mysterious new guest shows up, Chloe can no longer suppress her rising panic: This place is not at all what it seems.

A pulse-pounding story from the first minute to the last, The Getaway explores the weight of the small choices we make every day, and their staggering, unintended consequences.

I enjoyed this little story but now question why customers would use a full credit for a 2 hour book when they could easily get 10 times as many hours of listening to other great books at the same cost. If well known authors are now shortening their efforts maybe audible needs to allow customers to use fractional credits to purchase them. I do love Hendricks and Pekkanen but how do they justify such a short story compared to earlier efforts?

Great little story but too brief for the price.

The premise was interesting and the story started out well, but unfortunately it didn't quite come together for me. The writing was very good and the narration was excellent, but I found the storyline only so-so, especially toward the end. The ending just wasn't quite there and left me disappointed. It had the ingredients for a great novella, but for me it never fully delivered on its promising start.

Almost there, but not quite
