House Across The Lake | Riley Sager | Book Review

 

Wild and Totally  Unexpected 

House Across the Lake is the story of a widowed actress Casey, an alcoholic who saves a girl, a former model from drowning one day. Casey seems fascinated by Katherine and Tom, a glamorous couple who happens to live on the other side of the lake and start to keep a tab on their life with a help of her binoculars. Now this is a usual next door story but with a twist. So when Katherine goes missing, Casey is the only person who starts looking for her and unravel the mystery.

To be honest, the first 30-40% of the book was a mere typical story that could be dragging and took a lot of time to read. I liked the characters and Casey being stubborn on things made it easy to connect and read further. But the last 30% was a absolute wild ride. I just finished the last 30% in a single sitting because it was that good. I appreciate the authors writing, his style because Sager has just blown all the twists record.

I was very confident that I could guess the plot and where it was going, but then Sager has done an exceptional job by layering each twist one on another. Overall loved it. Read it if you like Detective novels, suspenseful novels, books with twist. 

Thank you to Dutton books and Netgalley for providing me an arc of this amazing book in exchange for an honest review.
