Book: The House Across the Lake
Author: Riley Sager
By: Cece Hymes
Got a chance to read this book. This is the second book I have read by this author. This was a good book with a twist. This was about Casey Fletcher who was an actress. She met a man and later they got married 5 years later she thought he was her everything and he died. When he died, she turned to alcohol. She lost her job and everything. Her mom had a lake house and that’s where her husband died.
Casey goes back to the Lake house, and she ends up meeting all the other tenants around the lake house. She was out one day, and she saw something floating. It happens to be Katherine Royce who is famous. She saves Katherine’s life and they become friends.
Casey is at the lake, and she has binoculars which she looks through and kind of spy and watch what’s going on at Katherine’s home. One night she sees Katherine and husband get into it. She goes to sleep, and she is tipsy. She heard a scream but really couldn’t move. Katherine goes missing but Casey thinks her husband killed her but can’t prove it.
She tells the neighbor about what she heard, and he heard it too. Casey and the neighbor go to investigate. Then comes to find out she doesn’t know who to trust. Even though she drinks a lot of alcohol Casey has a good memory. She gets the police involved but she still does her own investigation. Casey solves a lot of things and puts two and two together. She is wrong about some things but she figures them out and comes up with a plan.
There are plenty of stories about the Lake being haunted but people think it’s just a fairytale. There are three young ladies that’s also missing, and the police have been trying to find them but after coming on to find out what’s going on with Katherine going missing, they find more information about the ladies.
I don’t want to give up the story, but this was a great book. I say always keep your eyes open, you never know what’s going on close to you. Please don’t drink. Think of the others that care about you.
