Riley Sager delivers another twisty psychological thriller in The House Across the Lake, a story filled with unreliable narrators, eerie atmospheres, and unexpected turns.
Casey Fletcher, a once-famous actress, is drowning in grief—and bourbon—after the tragic loss of her husband. Banished to her family’s remote lake house to recover from a public meltdown, she spends her days drinking and spying on her neighbors through binoculars. When she saves former supermodel Katherine Royce from drowning, the two form an unexpected bond. But Casey’s curiosity soon turns into an obsession, especially when she starts suspecting that Katherine’s seemingly perfect marriage is hiding dark secrets.
Then, Katherine vanishes without a trace. Determined to uncover the truth, Casey enlists the help of her neighbor Boone, a widowed ex-cop with his own troubled past. But as she digs deeper, she realizes that nothing is as it seems—and some secrets are more dangerous than others.
Told in alternating timelines, this novel keeps you on edge with its unpredictable twists. While some readers may find the paranormal twist unnecessary, others will appreciate the eerie, supernatural element that sets it apart from typical thrillers. If you enjoy unreliable narrators, slow-burn mysteries, and stories that keep you guessing, this book is worth the read.
