Whispers of the Lake
by Shanora Williams
This novel combines all your favorite feelings from the late 90s, early 00s movies.
Rose is a hardworking but mild-mannered journalist who is in the midst of rebuilding her life after discoving that her husband cheated on her. When her former best friend goes missing, she has no choice but to drop everything to find her.
This story hits the ground running, with an exciting flashback. Unfortunately, the pacing slows down to a trickle for much of the middle of the book. Thankfully, the story gets resuscitated in the last quarter. While the buildup was important, I would have loved slightly fewer pages so the momentum wouldn't be lost.
Much like The Woman Before, the diary element is used to give the reader background information that our main character does not get until later on. At times, I liked it and other times it felt like it didn't push the story forward as much as it could have.
Overall, I enjoyed the story but less than The Woman Before.
