The Lake Escape - Jamie Day
Pub. Date: July 15, 2025
She read
Julia, David, and Erika have been coming to Lake Timmeny, Vermont since childhood, their families owning adjacent houses. Their friendship has been long and enduring. This year may be different. David has built a huge glass house obscuring the view of the two others and has brought his young, sexy girlfriend along with his twin children. He has hired Izzy as a nanny, but she seems to be there under the shadow of a secret. The three friends have secrets of their own. The lake is notorious because two girls disappeared whereabouts unknown thirty years apart, leading to the legend “the lake takes them”. It is now thirty years since the last disappearance and another person goes missing.
Told from two points of view with a bit of a convoluted plot this is a twisty, sinister trip through toxic relationships. There are twists galore, some unexpected, others easy to guess. With a plot that begs the question how well do we know our friends, it is a fast, engrossing read. As a comic break from the suspense, I enjoyed Julia’s musings of how she would post current situations to Instagram. Her comments are quite entertaining.
Thanks to #NetGalley and @StMartinsPress for the DRC.
