LOST TO THE LAKE by Anna Willett (The Book Folks, March 2022) Paperback, 231 pages. ISBN # 9781913516482
White Mist Lake Retreat is the perfect place for a couple’s getaway. Only Beth and Marty Jacobsen are grappling with more than marital problems.
Surviving a horrific home invasion, Beth is desperate to put their life back on track. Desperate enough to agree to do the unthinkable for the man she loves. But at White Mist Lake, danger follows and secrets have a way of finding you.
My Four-Star Review on the Goodreads website . . . . .
I was in the mood to read a thriller and this fast-paced novel scratched that itch very well. Things begin with a nasty home invasion and the suspense and tension just builds and continues from that point until the final chapters.
All the characters in this novel are flawed in one way or another, which only adds to the realism. Nobody's perfect, certainly not main character Beth Jacobsen who was too attracted to the wealth of her husband to really try and get to know him better. She also becomes too reliant on the bottle to ease her tension and uncertainty for her own good, as this affects her ability to think clearly through some perilous situations. Despite those character failings, Willett has a way of making you empathize with Beth.
I would not want to spoil the fun for readers by detailing more than that. This is a good read that rewards with a satisfactory ending.
