Whispers of the Lake
by Shanora Williams
This is more mystery than thriller, which wasn't quite what I expected. The story revolves around investigative reporter Rose Howard, who gets tangled up in the disappearance of her former best friend, Eve.
To be honest, the characters didn't really click with me, especially Eve. Her backstory tries to explain her actions, but it didn't quite sell me on her character. I did enjoy her journal entries throughout the story though. I actually figured out the twist pretty early on, which took away some of the suspense.
On the bright side, the narration, especially Rose's voice, was superb. The narrator really brought her character to life. While the story wasn't groundbreaking for me, it wasn't a bad listen either. Just not something that'll stick with me for long.
Thank you NetGalley and RBmedia for an advanced listening copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
