A review by jubaju
The House on the Lake, by Nuala Ellwood
2.0
2.5 stars
A thriller I kept wanting to put down. There were no twists for most of the book and by the time we got to the "exciting part" I had already lost interest. I didn't care about what happened and the writing was mostly bland. I found it very hard to connect to the main character and as such I wasn't shocked by the gradual reveals that came at the end.
I found the dual POV to be boring and it dragged out the story. There wouldn't have been enough of a plot if we had only followed Lisa, but I didn't care about Isobel or Grace and their story was mostly there to mislead us into the anti-climatic reveal at the end.
