The House Across the Lake

5 stars!

This is a story that seems rather pedestrian at the beginning and almost like a re-imagining of Rear Window when suddenly it turns creepy. Like Stephen King-level creepy, so that's a good thing. In addition, there are so many twists, turns and almost unbelievable shifts that even a jaded reader (like myself) will find themselves surprised at the story changes. And those were pleasant surprises.

Highly recommended!
