I have read most of Kate Martin’s books so I thought I had the story sussed out. I really enjoyed the twists and turns and was very happy with the ending. I would say this is one of her best books and highly recommend!

I have very mixed feelings about this. I do think this is one of the most page-turning of Kate Morton's novels that I have read. I think my final conclusion is that I dug the main mystery (what happened to baby Theo) but thought that the modern day mysteries were just too much. And I thought the conclusion, wherein Sadie's grandfather turned out to be Theo, just seemed over the top to me. I will see that this was compulsively readable and that I couldn't put it down.

I was pleased with the neat ending, but man. It took a long time to get there! Still, I always enjoy Morton's books and look forward to the next Crumbly British House Mystery.

Carefully crafted mystery that takes place both in the early 20th century and 21st century. The flip flop of time periods made it a little more challenging to get started with the story but once the scene was set, it was very engaging. For those who like mysteries in both contemporary and historical settings.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy of The Lake House. I loved the book. It has all of the features Kate Morton does well-- secrets, scenery, layers of intrigue.

Kate Morton is brilliant. This was an enjoyable read, although her books did get a little tighter going forward. Characters were good, story strong. One of the last twists was too much of a coincidence… so I knocked it back to 4.5… but, still, time in a Kate Morton story is time well spent. 4.5
