The Lake house is a new domestic thriller from author Joe Clifford. This was my first read by the author and I quite enjoyed his writing style.
The story is simple enough, a hot shot from New York comes back to the small town his wife is from and plans to rebuild the lakehouse. However he isn’t met with a warm welcome, this has to do with the fact that he just got acquitted of his wife’s murder.
Enter Tracy a lonely divorcee who happens to fall for him before she realizes who he really is. There are many twists and turns on the road to discovering if he did in fact murder his wife, Tracy has to know if he really is the “Bank Butcher” and if not, who did kill her old friend?
There were a few points of view through out this story and I quite enjoyed a little glimpse into each of their lives. I don’t know if quarantine has gotten to me but lately I am just obsessed with these small town mysteries where everything looks perfect from the outside but of course the more you look the more secrets, dysfunction and scandal there are.
Overall this story kept me guessing and trying to connect the pieces. Anyone who enjoys a slowburn mystery would be into the Lakehouse.
