A review by ajnel
The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Ritter's books under the Riley Sager nom de plume, thus far, have been written from the point of view of a female protagonist and he does this pretty well (from male perspective - I still need to get my wife's pov once she's read his books).  A hugely intricate supernatural murder mystery, with some brilliant twists and turns; this despite the slightly slow pace.
