It’s no secret that Riley Sager has established himself as a master of psychological suspense, and his considerable talent is on full display in this riveting book. Toss in a sexy neighbor, an impending storm, and some serious Rear Window vibes, and The House Across the Lake is guaranteed to make you stay up way past your bedtime. But a harrowing encounter with the supermodel who vacations across the lake sets her on a collision course with the past. When Casey Fletcher-a washed-up, B-level actress-is exiled to her family’s remote lake house, she plans to drink herself into oblivion in an effort to forget the traumatic death of her beloved husband. Each chapter turns the kaleidoscope, obliterating our preconceived ideas and ensuring that the plot twists (and yes, there is more than one!) leave us stunned. At first glance, the premise may seem familiar-Sager serves up an unreliable narrator, a spooky setting, and a series of unsolved crimes-but readers will quickly learn that nothing is quite what it seems. They say there’s nothing new under the sun, but in The House Across the Lake, Riley Sager manages to put a fresh spin on nearly every facet of the thriller genre.
