Publisher's summary

Icy water laps against the wooden jetty. But the girl doesn’t notice the cold as she slips slowly under the freezing surface....

Running from a devastating relationship that almost cost her everything, Maddy Hart impulsively accepts a job as a live-in caretaker at imposing Lakeview House. She has no memories of having visited the crumbling mansion on the banks of Lake Thirlmere before, but when she arrives, something about the house feels familiar....

The more time Maddy spends in the house, the more unsettled she feels. Why does the local story about the last woman who lived here, who drowned on her wedding day, chill Maddy to the bone? By day, she clears out the dusty rooms, but in the dead of night, it’s hard to explain away the eerie noises or crackly radio she hears hours after she turned it off. Slowly, Maddy begins to fear that her worst nightmare is coming true. Has her past caught up with her?

When a soaking wet wedding dress is left on Maddy’s doorstep, she feels completely trapped. It is her exact measurements. Is her ex trying to send her a message? Or has Maddy’s digging uncovered an even deadlier secret? Will this perfect escape become the perfect trap?

Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley, Lisa Gardner, and Ruth Ware.

Lakeview House was previously published as What Lies Below.

Could have been better

I love mysteries. It started out promising. But got tedious as the repetitive phrases ( scared me to death) and quick to fall in love and weakness in the physical attributes of the women (twisted ankles. Too much to drink )were frustrating ending very unexpected and not well formed or explained. Didn’t follow the character development. Probably won’t read more of this author

Not a fan… don’t waste time/money

Too many parts unbelievable… wrong… not the best character development… frustrating stupidity and mocking of females almost… pace of book was off…
Just ugh. I feel it had much more potential…

Lakeview House

3.5 stars rounded up. I liked most of the main characters. I loved the setting. Something unexpected ticked me off, so I’m not really sure how I feel overall. The ending felt rushed and I definitely want to understand the backstory of why a certain character acted the way they did.
Someone mentioned this was like a Lifetime Movie in her review of this book and I agree. I happen to like Lifetime Movies, so I wasn’t disappointed.

Decent story but predictable

I could see it coming a mile away, but not a terrible story and the narrator did a good job.

Terror at Lakeview
