Lake Child by Isabel Ashdown
4.0
Lake Child by Isabel Ashdown is one of those books that’s very difficult to review for fear of giving too much away. It’s a gripping psychological thriller that drew me in from the very first page and didn’t let go until the final page had been turned. Full of twists and turns that will keep you on your toes throughout, the surprises kept on coming thick and fast, so much so that every time I thought I’d finally worked out what was happening, something else happened that made me realise I’d got it all completely wrong!
I warmed to the character of Eva and the situation she found herself in from the very start, my heart aching for her as she attempted to put the missing pieces of her memories back together again. The fear and confusion she felt were palpable as we slowly moved through the story, with Eva being such an unreliable narrator that you never really knew what was real and what wasn’t.
Lake Child is a book that builds slowly, with the tension increasing in momentum as the threads of the story gradually begin to come together. It’s a heartbreaking and shocking read, brilliantly written by the talented Isabel Ashdown, keeping me on the edge of my seat as we raced towards its thrilling conclusion.
A suspense filled, atmospheric thriller that I would highly recommend. A must read.
