Casey Fletcher is a famous actress who has received some really bad press. As a way to escape that, she retreats to her lake house. Across the lake, a house is bought by model Katherine Royce and her husband Tom, who she spies on with binoculars. She winds up saving Katherine’s life one day when she’s out boating and Katherine was about to drown. Then things get weird, and Katherine disappears. Casey becomes consumed with trying to find out what happened to Katherine and who is behind her disappearance.
I’ve read Sager before and I’ve always felt his books were good, but never out of the park fantastic. This one was quite different in so many ways that I absolutely loved it! Is it a little weird? Yes. Do you have to really suspend belief? Yes. But I loved that it took a turn that was so completely different than anything that I’ve ever read.
I promise you that no matter what, unless you read spoilers, that if you haven’t read this one yet, then you probably will not guess which way this is going to go. I for sure thought I knew what was going on. In fact, at one point I said “HA, I knew it!” Then I kept reading, and I was still wrong.
All of the characters were interesting and each had their place in the plot. It was Sager’s twisted mind that put them there for a reason! I love how the book ended and I’m so glad that I FINALLY read this one. So if you haven’t read it yet, I highly suggest that you do so!
