The chalet

By Jaqueline Alves Souza

They believed that trip would save their marriage. After discovering an affair, Clara accepts her husband's proposal to spend a few days in an isolated chalet in Belgium. Far from the city, the routine, and the painful memories, the place seemed perfect for a fresh start. Silent, surrounded by forest and without contact with the outside world, the chalet offered exactly what they were looking for: distance and oblivion.
But the isolation soon ceases to be comfortable. An overly kind owner, an unexpected visitor in the middle of the night, noises coming from a locked barn, and the constant feeling of being watched transform the attempt at reconciliation into a nightmare. When her husband mysteriously disappears, Clara realizes that the trip was never a coincidence; they were chosen. Trapped in a carefully planned trap, she will need to face not only fear but human cruelty in its most disturbing form. Between buried secrets, forgotten victims, and a family marked by obsessions, the fight ceases to be for the marriage and becomes one for survival.
"The Lodge" is an intense and harrowing psychological thriller that grips the reader from beginning to end and reveals just how far someone can go when no one is watching. Because sometimes, the most peaceful place in the world is also the most dangerous.
