I loved the serene lake setting with summer vacation vibes... To just turn it on it's head! Three lifelong friends, David, Julia and Erika, come together for a couple weeks every summer to vacation in their lake houses. We see this crazy story of twists and turns through the views of Izzy Greene (Nanny for David's twins) and Julia Crawford. Thirty years apart, two women have gone missing at the lake without a trace. It's thirty years after the last disappearance... No big deal, right..? Highly recommend this book!
