The bestselling author of Final Girls and Survive the Night is back with his â??best plot twist yet.â? (People, "Best Summer Books")

Be careful what you watch for . . .

Casey Fletcher, a recently widowed actress trying to escape a streak of bad press, has retreated to the peace and quiet of her familyâ??s lake house in Vermont. Armed with a pair of binoculars and several bottles of bourbon, she passes the time watching Tom and Katherine Royce, the glamorous couple living in the house across the lake. They make for good viewingâ??a tech innovator, Tom is powerful; and a former model, Katherine is gorgeous.

One day on the lake, Casey saves Katherine from drowning, and the two strike up a budding friendship. But the more they get to know each otherâ??and the longer Casey watchesâ??it becomes clear that Katherine and Tomâ??s marriage isnâ??t as perfect as it appears. When Katherine suddenly vanishes, Casey immediately suspects Tom of foul play. What she doesnâ??t realize is that thereâ??s more to the story than meets the eyeâ??and that shocking secrets can lurk beneath the most placid of surfaces.

Packed with sharp characters, psychological suspense, and gasp-worthy plot twists, Riley Sagerâ??s The House Across the Lake is the ultimate escapist read . . . no lake house required.
