Beware the Woman

In "Beware the Woman," acclaimed author Megan Abbott weaves a tense narrative about Jacy, a newlywed expecting her first child who embarks on a road trip with her husband, Jed, to visit his father in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Initially enveloped in warmth from Dr. Ash, Jed's father, Jacy's idyllic getaway quickly unravels after a health scare amplifies her feelings of isolation and scrutiny, particularly from the mysterious house manager, Mrs. Brandt. As whispers of Jed's complicated family history emerge, Jacy finds herself questioning the very nature of her fears amid the looming threats, both outside in the woods and within the cottage itself.
