The Lake House by Kate Morton Book Summary

From the New York Times bestselling author of Homecoming comes a “moody, suspenseful page-turner” (People, Best Book Pick) filled with mystery and spellbinding secrets.

Living on her family’s idyllic lakeside estate in Cornwall, England, Alice Edevane is a bright, inquisitive, and precociously talented sixteen-year-old who loves to write stories.

One midsummer’s eve, after a beautiful party drawing hundreds of guests to the estate has ended, the Edevanes discover that their youngest child, eleven-month-old Theo, has vanished without a trace. He is never found, and the family is torn apart, the house abandoned.

Decades later, Alice is living in London, having enjoyed a long successful career as a novelist. Miles away, Sadie Sparrow, a young detective in the London police force, is staying at her grandfather’s house in Cornwall. While out walking one day, she stumbles upon the old Edevane estate—now crumbling and covered with vines. Her curiosity is sparked, setting off a series of events that will bring her and Alice together and reveal shocking truths about a past long gone...yet more present than ever.

A lush, atmospheric tale of intertwined destinies from a masterful storyteller, The Lake House is an enthralling, thoroughly satisfying read.

Great book.. Excellent story telling, enjoyed the book. The setting was wonderful, I felt like I had visited the Lake House several times. The characters were engaging. The only problem I had was reading the book too quickly.

A real page turner!. This was my first by this author. It was spellbinding and I was not able to put it down. It is well written, clean and no use of vulgar language. I would definitely recommend it for a good read.

Wonderful. Loved it.

The Lake House. Covers several time frames & it kept me guessing! I enjoyed the twists & turns! Makes me want to visit Cornwall Highly recommend!

Love to listen. I always purchase the unabridged book. I want to hear every detail. I have listened to all of Kate Morton’s books except the most recent. Each wonderful stories. The extremely talented Caroline Lee is the perfect narrator. Enjoy -

Perfectly perfect. I loved the imagery, as well as the characters. The ending was tidy and a joy to read.

Engrossing. Kept me on my toes trying to figure out - whodunit. Happy surprise ending.

The Lake House. I loved this book! It was a page turner with many twists and turns. Don’t miss out!!

Awesome read. I have read several of Kate Morton's books. This is by far my favorite. The story unfolds beautifully and keeps you constantly yearning for the next chapter. Great read

The Lake House. The book started off slowly, but once 150 pages into it I couldn't put it down.

The Lake House. So predictable-unimaginative characters-weak ending. Don't waste your money!

Fantastic story and characters. Started sample but took another 6 months to get into. Slow start. Don’t be put off by early chapter of 15year old perspective in 1933. So well written and the voices of characters at different ages and time periods amazing. Great story and love how all various storylines work together.

Decent. This book was not as good as her previous books... But still a decent read

Delightful. As one of seven children, I found this to be a “real family”. We all have our own world we revolve in and see things through. We’ll written with a nice flow between all the yesteryears and current times. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I will savor this one for a spell. I will definitely read more from Kate Morton. Thank-you for the pleasure.

Kate does it again!. Another great story from Kate Morton. I personally love how she is able to develop such wonderful, complex characters. Highly recommend.

Disappointed. Not one of her best. Struggled to read it. Whole book was a very slow read.

Fine. This is a terrific book. Well-drawn characters, good suspense & a satisfying end.

Intriguing book!. This book was a great read. Even when I had thought I knew what happened to Theo you don't really expect the twist and turns. Very enjoyable!

Great except for the ending. I really did enjoy this book right up to the very end. It was very suspenseful and the character build was fantastic. However I felt the ending was a bit rushed and not as fulfilling as I had hoped.

The Lake House. Absolutely the best one yet!, The author's description and character with PTSD was spot on. I'd love to visit Cornwall County someday.

The Lake House. Most entertaining Book I have read in a long time

The Lake House. Amazing book and true to Kate Morton's other great works!

Very well done!. This book is quite well written. Unlike most mysteries, the writing is very strong. The story will definitely capture your attention; I couldn't wait to read the next chapter! I have only a few complaints which have prevented me from assigning a five star rating. First, the writing gets windy at times and the story would be better served with a terser narrative. Second, there were a few flaws in the plot line which I won't detail for fear of spoiling the book for readers. Third, the ending was sort of Dickensonian and not really credible (although I have to say I liked it anyway). All in all, it was a really good mystery and I'm looking forward to reading more books about Detective Sparrow.

The Lake House. Loved this book. Good writing which is really important to me since I can’t stand reading stories that a fifth grader could read. The story was so good and I will be reading more from Kate Morton!

Another excellent plot. Kate has yet to fail. Look forward to her next.

Great book!. Great story!

Abandoned at page 90. One of the few books I just gave up on. I enjoyed 'The House at Riverton' and 'The Secret Keeper' but find the writing style of this book to be what I imagine a Barbara Cartland romance to be. Heroine breathlessly being saved from certain death under wheels of tram by handsome future husband etc.

Pass on this one. This book is ridiculous. The end ties up in a perfect bow. Not believable at all. Also the detective is not likeable. I don’t understand the high reviews.

The Lake House. I loved this book about Love Trust Support and caring people I shed a tear too, it’s just a sweet lovely story

The Lake House. Kate Morton just gets better and better and better and better ! I loved The Lake House, I could not put it down until I figured out the mystery. What a great ending!

Superb. Beautifully written with descriptions forming photographs. It has plot twists and turns with mystery after mystery to immerse oneself in. I found the end of the book so satisfying and heartwarming that I had to read it again.
