"The Lake House" by Kate Morton

"The Lake House' by Kate Morton

I was so happy when I was able to download an Advance Copy of The Lake House for review. Kate Morton is a favorite author of mine, and after reading "The Lake House," this is reaffirmed once again!

The story evolves into a mystery, alternating between the 1930's and 2000's. Set primarily in Cornwall, it is the tale of a privledged family that suffers the disappearance of their youngest child, a baby boy named Theo. For many decades it is unknown whether he was kidnapped, murdered or both.

In modern day, a police officer named Sadie Sparrow revives the old case after stumbling upon the family's abandoned estate, Loeanneth ("The Lake House"). Her persistent digging, discoveries and personal tale all weave together into a very satisfying story.

I only wish it were longer....

Enjoy!
