A review by kenpaul
The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager

2.0

Man, am I ever sorry I started this book. The first 2/3 was pretty entertaining and well written but then (and I'll do my best not to spoil the spoilers), it became preposterous and something entirely different than what I signed up for. So much so that I almost quit right then. Instead I just skipped a bunch of stuff and cut to the last few chapters to see how the author managed to justify the change. They didn't. This is my 2nd book by this author (Survive the Night) and both have been sub-par in my opinion. I think I'm done with Riley Sager until somebody convinces me otherwise.
