The Lakehouse by Joe Clifford
3.0
Thank you to NetGalley and Joe Clifford for an advanced copy in return for my honest review. The Lakehouse is available to read now!
Tracy Somerset is a divorced mother of one who unexpectedly connects with a stranger late one night at Walmart. Tracy comes to find that this person has a dark past and she has to decide if she wants to stand by him or listen to the rumors.
Todd Newman, is trying to escape his past – after being accused and cleared of murdering his wife, he is trying to start fresh. But the small town doesn’t forget and they don’t want Todd back in their lives. With other girls gone missing, people realize that Todd’s story might not add up – and he might not be as innocent as he claims to be.
This one was a miss for me. The storyline was alright, ending was a bit of a letdown. I feel like we spent a lot of time and energy on a mystery and the culprit wasn’t satisfying to me. I didn’t connect with any of the characters and found myself just wishing to be finished reading. I don’t think that the storyline was completely bad, I just don’t think that this was a book for me.
**I always cringe when I have to give a poor review as I know the author spends massive amounts of time creating something for the world to see. As an avid reader I have the utmost respect for authors and am grateful for the content they create for us.
