About this listen

Recently widowed actress Casey Fletcher has escaped to her family's lake house for peace and quiet. She's been happily losing herself in her thoughts and several bottles of bourbon, until the glamorous couple across the lake catch her attention. They look so perfect—just like Casey and her husband used to be.

But is anyone what they seem?

Casey has a detective sat at her kitchen table.

She has a man bound and gagged upstairs.

Casey will uncover dark truths so life-changing that nothing will ever be the same again.

International best-selling sensation Riley Sager is back with his most ambitious thriller yet. With his trademark blend of sharp characters, psychological suspense and gasp-worthy twists, The House Across the Lake will shock listeners from the first minute to the last.

surprised me

I was not expecting the supernatural plot point, personally I enjoyed it but it definitely isn't everyone's cup of tea. The story was a bit disjointed and the plot points didn't all exactly fit, but I liked it anyway and would listen to more from the author.

A solid 4 star read

Another great novel from Riley Sager! I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't "that" paranormal thing towards the end.
I love how Riley Sager tells a story and how at the end everything is figured and sorted out without leaving any questions for the reader. Everything is complete.

Very average listen

Nothing about the premise felt fresh, it was mostly predictable, except for some of the twists at the end that weren’t predictable but only because they were quite daft.
Having said all that it was a reasonably entertaining listen, if you’ve got a credit to use and nothing else takes your fancy. The narrator is easy to listen to

I still have whiplash

It starts of intriguing but a little clunky due to the protagonist's bizzare choices. But give it time. The last quarter of the book will snap your neck 🤣

Slow start but brilliant once you got into it.

Took a while to get to the good bit. Almost DNF it but I’m so glad I persevered because I loved it by the time I had finished it.

Good twist

Really enjoyed it, thought you knew what was happening and then it changed. Might have been a bit OTT, but I still enjoyed it!

Plot twist

This was a really enjoyable listen and easy to get into, but also an unexpected plot twist that elevated the story line. Would recommend!

Curious.

At one point I was ready to stop listening as nothing seemed to be happening.
And then the twist came. I'm so glad I stuck with it.

Not my favourite Riley Sager book

I expected more. Still Home Before Dark and Lock Every Door is my favourite. Still, I like this writer. He is good even when it’s not his strongest work.
