So far, Riley Sager has yet to let me down when it comes to his novels, and The House Across the Lake was no exception.
Casey Fletcher, a recently widowed actress, trying to elude a run of bad press, is pushed to her family's lake house in Vermont by her mother against Casey's wishes. The very lake that made her a widow in the first place.
Once ensconced in the old lake house, armed with plenty of booze and an old pair of binoculars she inadvertently becomes obsessed with spying on her neighbors - a tech whiz and a former model.
A couple which makes it nearly impossible to not spy on. Particularly after Casey pulls former model, Katherine, from the lake saving her from drowning.
From there you kind of think you know where this story is headed. You are wrong. Dead wrong. I audibly gasped at one plot twist - it came out of nowhere.
If a psychological suspense stories are your jam; you will love this one. I promise.
