The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager
3.0
I am truly disappointed in this book. Reading Final Girls made me an instant Riley Sager fan. I love a good thriller, and he writes fantastic characters. Even in this book, I instantly liked the MC, as well as the side characters. Where this really fell short for me was the explanation at the end. It felt like what happens when you don't know how to end a story reasonably, so you start going with absurd explanations that only kind of explain the previous events.
I don't think it had to be this way either. I had so many theories about what might be happening, but when it got down to it in the book, all I kept asking myself was, "this isn't really the explanation he went with, right?" It felt much goofier than I expected from him.
I'm going to try out another one of his books, and I truly hope the next one is different.
