A review by dyerra
The Lake House by Kate Morton

2.0

I liked the book and was interested in the plot. At first I found it a little difficult to follow with the shifts between times and places, but when things started coming together I was more interested in the story. However, I was extremely disappointed by how contrived the ending was. Even in the book it talks about how there can only be one big coincidence per mystery novel, but by the end of this book, there were at least a dozen. I felt like the last 50 or so pages were a cheap letdown by an author who wanted things to work out a certain way but didn't have the time to make it happen properly.
