Synopsis

After being cleared of his wifes murder, Todd Norman returns to her small Connecticut hometown in order to finish building their dream house by the lake. He is eager to restart his life and cast aside any remaining suspicions, but all of that is dashed when a young womans body washes up on the beach next door. When Tracy Somerset, a divorced mother from the small town of Covenant, meets a handsome stranger in a midnight Wal-Mart, she has no idea she is speaking with Todd Norman, the former Wall Street financier dubbed The Banker Butcher by the New York tabloids. The following morning, on the beach by Normans back-under-construction lakehouse, a young womans body is discovered. Sheriff Duane Sobczaks investigation leads him to town psychiatrist Dr. Meshulum Bakshir, whose position at a troubled girls group home a decade ago yields disturbing ties to several local prominent players, including a radical preacher, a disgraced politician, a down-and-out PI, and Sobczaks own daughter. Unfolding over the course of New Englands distinct four seasons, The Lakehouse is a domestic psychological thriller about the wayward and marginalized, the lies we tell those closest to us, and the price of forbidden love in an insular community, where it seems everyone has a story to tell...and a past they prefer stay buried.

Goodreads review by Alicia on September 14, 2020

For the most part, I really enjoyed this mystery/suspense novel. It's fairly well written with a good story line and moves at a pretty good pace. It's told from the POV of several characters and they feel different from each other even if they are a bit 2-D or cliched. Three things detracted from it......more
