In Kimberly Belle's A Stranger in the Lake, this newest domestic suspense is so twisted, that it hit a home run right out of the ballpark. Charlotte McCreedy lived in a trailer park with a druggie mother, an absentee father, and her baby brother Chet, during her youth. But a year ago, she met and married Paul Keller, a rich man who's 10 years her senior, and a widower, and lived in a home on the Lake. She was happy and just found out she's pregnant with her first child, when she later looked for Paul on the dock, talking to a woman. Hours later, she's found dead in the lake with a suspicious death. It brought up memories of how Paul's first wife Katherine landed in the lake as well. Paul's been acting suspicious and Charlotte wants to know why that is, as we have multiple flashbacks from Jax, Paul's long lost-best friend, and the events that led to that tragic night in the past. Everyone has their eyes on him and leaving vicious presents on her doorstep. Charlotte's friend Sam warned her about him before she married Paul and more questions pop out about this lady's death and why she came to Lake Crosby in the first place. In the end, Charlotte doesn't know who to trust and who to believe, when she comes face to face with a killer and does the right thing in the end to free herself.
This was a compelling domestic suspense about secrets and lies and how it can destroy lives and relationships. I cared for Charlie and how she survived a rough, poor childhood and how she had thought she had met her prince charming... when it later become almost the opposite. I loved how she searched for answers to get to the bottom of this mess and how she relied on her brother Chet when the tough get going through it all. I've thought Paul was a honest man in the beginning. But later I became suspicious like Charlotte died. I loved the lake town of Lake Crosby and how it painted a vivid picture with mesmerizing during the winter with a frozen lake. The theme is to confession's good for the soul and be truth and honest in a relationship, even if the past might come back to haunt you.
