The Lake House
by Theo Baxter
Laura is reeling from the devastation of finding out that her fiance - Tony, and her best friend - Mary are having an affair. After finding them making love on her wedding day, and on her wedding dress, she decides to move to a small mountain town to escape.
She has been trying to work on herself and opening up to new relationships in her life, possibly a new love interest. But with the sudden death of her neighbor, Laura finds out that the new tenants are her old foes Tony and Mary. How have they found her, and why are they there? Laura needs to find out what is going on in her new town and what brought the two people who she hates the most.
Overall rating 4 /5
Another quick and thrilling read by Baxter. I like the sly breaking of the 4th wall in this book, having the characters being proactive in such precarious situations (such as recording conversations). I feel like all mystery readers have these thoughts and I love that he includes this in his writings. His approach to adding the dynamic of mental health and receiving help in such situations was also refreshing.
*Thank you to Theo Baxter, Netgalley and Inkubator Books for the ARC copy. I am freely leaving my honest review.
