Kate Morton is a favorite and The Lake House does
not disappoint. Intricately plotted, it begins with a contemporary drama and
moves swiftly into a decades old mystery.
The Lake House begins with a young detective,
Sadie Sparrow, on a forced sabbatical after a disastrous case which may end her
career. Restless and worried, she literally stumbles upon a run-down mansion on
the Cornish coast. More to satisfy her curiosity and pass the time, she begins
to investigate the house’s history. What she discovers is the decades-old
unsolved mystery of a vanished child.
The story is told from the point of view not only
of Sadie Sparrow but also of a young girl living in the house at the time of
the disappearance both as a child but also as a present day, elderly woman
still looking for answers.
The Lake House with its many twists and turns is a
family drama, a love story, and a mystery. Wholly satisfying.
Recommend.
