The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager
3.5
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

As long as you're able to completely suspend your disbelief and go into with the hopes of being entertained, you might actually enjoy this on some modicum level lol. This sure went some type of way, that I found to be an interesting choice for Sager (I must admit I didn't see it coming so that was a fun lil surprise.) I'm not sure it was successful but hey at least he gave it a shot.

I'm really glad I liked this better than the last release! Either way, just go into it for a silly goofy time and you'll probably like it too.
