This is what I want in a summer read. A lake house getaway. Check. Family drama. Check. Someone disappears. Check. A curse that someone disappears every 30 years.
Pure entertainment that drug me away from my life. It’s a mix of the characters and the mystery. There’s a great mix of characters and multiple ages telling their side of the story. Everyone has a secret or two and all isn’t as it appears. Does being friends since childhood equate to knowing a person?
I liked the pace and the mystery and while I didn’t love the characters, they weren’t so unlikable that I had trouble relating to them.
Lisa Larsen and Phoebe Strole narrate the vast cast of characters. They did a good job of keeping my interest and bringing the right intensity and drama into the mix. They made it such an easy listen. And I liked the water sounds at the start and end of the book tying in the lake setting.
