Wife. Widow. Murderer? What do you have to lose, Kate? That’s what my future husband Ryan asked as we stood on the bluff, gazing out at Lake Michigan. Turns out, the answer is everything.

After a whirlwind romance, I left Manhattan for the quiet promise of Crest Lake. I thought my biggest challenges would be finding a job and adjusting to small-town life. I was wrong. My marriage unraveled. And a year ago, Ryan died in a car accident still shrouded in suspicion. Now my once-idyllic lakefront home is in crisis. The bluff is crumbling. Property values are plummeting. Neighbors are at war over how to save their homes.

Then, on the night of a critical shoreline vote, my biggest rival turns up dead. And suddenly, all eyes are on me. I know what they’re thinking.

But I have secrets of my own—and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep them buried. Because in Crest Lake, nothing stays hidden for long. And the truth might destroy me long before the bluff does.

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, Sarah Pekkanen, and Lisa Jewell.

The ending was rushed and still left holes. The narrator voice and spacing of words was weird. Just wasn’t a well rounded book. But helped me through my work day. So thanks.

Subpar

The story was very engaging and original, but the narration was grating. The narrator had a halting speech pattern that sounded as though there were commas in the middle of sentences and her inflection went up at the end of every sentence. I sped the narrator’s speed way up making it tolerable but it was grating and took away from the story for me.

Great plot, horrible narrator

i really wanted to enjoy this but the narration was just too all over the place, making the characters feel weirdly overdone. It's unfortunate when something that is easily entertaining doesn't ends up feeling like you're pushing through it.

Not bad but not good!

Could barely get through the read with the narrator’s voice and affect, very monotone at times…again made it hard to get through
