About this listen
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.

Great short story!
I listened in one sitting while cooking dinner and cleaning. Had to sit down when I’d finished my chores just to listen to the last half hour. Shortest thing I’ve listened to on audible. But thoroughly enjoyable!

So gripping - I’m dying alone
If this story doesn’t put you off forming relationships with another human being, nothing will.
Absorbing, impactful and disturbing.

I truly enjoyed it
This is free and a gripping story. I enjoyed it from beginning to end and it helped get me through cleaning my patio slabs with ease.

Less is more
A pleasing noiresque story from these 2 authors who never disappoint. After several overly long and meh “thrillers” it was refreshing to listen to a taught story well told and narrated.

Terrible
The plot had now holes in it than sentences. This was a sheer waste of time. Well, at least it was in the Plus catalogue, thus free, the only positive thing to be said about this drivel.

Awful, just awful! Thankfully I didn't pay for it! Please don't waste your time listening to this pathetic story.
