She has a man bound and gagged upstairs.
Casey will uncover dark truths so life-changing that nothing will ever be the same again.

Riley Sager is an auto-buy for me, and his latest propulsive thriller, The House Across The Lake, may just be my favorite of his yet.

The House Across the Lake is the work of a master storyteller. A Hitchcockian premise is given an exciting new spin, as voyeurism, murder, and the lies we tell ourselves about our nearest and dearest spiral out of control in this gripping mystery, where nothing is what it seems. I had a thrilling time reading this. An unputdownable page-turner * Alex Michaelides, internationally bestselling author of The Silent Patient *
I was immediately, wonderfully immersed in this absolutely elite - and darkly secret - world. Such sinister fun. Riley really knocked it out of the park. * Gytha Lodge, author of LITTLE SISTER *
