The Lake House by Kate Morton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is Kate Morton at her finest.
An intricate mystery, gorgeous country estate, characters that resonate and are easy to believe in.

Despite the large size of this book, I found it so easy to read and I became so impatient to get to the end to find out what happened! Although the ending was probably a little too tidy for my taste, I did thoroughly enjoy the book and I can see why so many people were disappointed in The Distant Hours which didn't quite have the pacing or suspense of this novel.

Also, the audio narration is fantastic.
