The House Across The Lake – Riley Sager

A semi-famous actress, banished to the family lake house due to her drinking following the death of her husband the year before, gets enmeshed in the lives of the former supermodel and her tech mogul husband across the lake. When she spies upon them having a fight and, the next morning, the wife goes missing, she assumes the worst. But, she’s about to find out that the worst has yet to come. In order to save the day, she will need to face her demons, both physical and metaphorical.

For the third year in a row, I’ve finished Riley Sager’s latest offering, The House Across The Lake being this year’s entry, while out of state on vacation.  This time, he leans firmly into the supernatural while telling a compelling story about an otherwise tired story of the busybody spying on the couple across the street/lake/whatever and seeing the wife seemingly disappear.  Sager has become a reliable and annual presence on my bookshelf and I look forward to what he has to offer next year.
