A big thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with the chance to read and review this novel.
Julia is looking forward to her vacation at Lake Timmeny in Vermont. Her husband, Christian, and daughter, Taylor, are staying with her in her family’s lake house. Julia can’t wait to reconnect with her childhood friends, Erika and David. Erika’s husband, Rick and son, Lucas are staying in the house next door to Julia. David’s house is directly opposite, and Julia is horrified to arrive and see that David has renovated the entire house and it is all windows. David is there with his new girlfriend, Fiona, and his twins along with a new nanny, Izzie.
When everyone wakes up the second morning they are there, they discover that Fiona is missing. The tales of the “Lake Lore” start coming up. Two women disappeared exactly 30 years apart. When human bones are found nearby, questions arise as to whether the bones belong to one of the missing women. Could Fiona’s disappearance be a third woman also 30 years apart?
Izzie has her own reasons for being on the lake and it isn’t to be a nanny to five-year-old twins. As she and Taylor form a friendship, Izzie becomes more and more leery of David. Did David do something sinister to Fiona?
Told in the point of view between Julia and Izzie, you get a good feel of the full story. There is a lot going on in the book and each character has a hidden secret.
I’ve read Jamie Day’s other books and none of them are to be missed – they are all definite must reads!
