The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager

3.0

adventurous dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I felt like this book had potential but fell short. I am not buying how the author shaped the end of the story. I was suspicious of every single character and I felt that because there were so many characters introduced in this book that Sager just chose an off-the-wall conclusion rather than picking one of them to be the culprit. And just when you think everything is being tied up in a neat little bow, Sager was like "oh wait, I meant to actually end it this so let me add 3 more pages". This thriller just didn't hit the mark for me.
