Story
After moving from a small country town to Seattle, Heather Baxter marries Tom, a widowed doctor with a young son and teenage daughter. A working vacation overseas seems like the perfect way to bring the new family together, but once they’re deep in the Australian outback, the jet-lagged and exhausted kids are so over their new mom. When they discover remote Dutch Island, off-limits to outside visitors, the family talks their way onto the ferry. But as soon as they set foot on the island, which is run by a tightly knit clan of locals, everything feels wrong.

Ten years ago, six friends went on vacation. One made it out alive... In that instant, college student Quincy Carpenter became a member of a very exclusive club - a group of survivors the press dubbed “The Final Girls”: Lisa, who lost nine sorority sisters to a college dropout's knife; Sam, who endured the Sack Man during her shift at the Nightlight Inn; and now Quincy, who ran bleeding through the woods to escape the massacre at Pine Cottage. Despite the media's attempts, the three girls have never met.

Publisher's Summary
Named a most anticipated summer book by People, E! News, PureWow, CNN.com, CrimeReads, POPSUGAR, The Nerd Daily, BookTrib, Mystery Writers of America, Bookish, and Distractify
The New York Times bestselling author of Final Girls and Survive the Night is back with his “best plot twist yet.” (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 family’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 viewing—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 other—and the longer Casey watches—it becomes clear that Katherine and Tom’s marriage isn’t as perfect as it appears. When Katherine suddenly vanishes, Casey immediately suspects Tom of foul play. What she doesn’t realize is that there’s more to the story than meets the eye—and that shocking secrets can lurk beneath the most placid of surfaces.
Packed with sharp characters, psychological suspense, and gasp-worthy plot twists, Riley Sager’s The House Across the Lake is the ultimate escapist story . . . no lake house required.

There is only 1 other review for this book, and I wish I’d listened.
I have not even gotten through the first chapter because the narrator’s way of speaking is so off putting. I tried to return it but Audible won’t let me :(
I really enjoyed this author’s other books, so it is really unfortunate to have this one ruined by a narrator.

Awful narrator
I was so excited for this new book as I’ve listened to all of Riley Sager’s novels and loved them. However this narrator is horrible and completely ruined the book for me. I don’t know if I can even finish it. So disappointed I wasted the credit. I’m sure it’s an amazing book if it weren’t for that raspy old lady voice.

Sager is the king of rip-offs
Sager continues the trend of borrowing from better works and ruining them.
"House" is further ruined by absolute HORRENDOUS narration. It is nearly unlistenable. Believe the reviews. The narrator sounds like they stepped out of community theatre 101. Not what you'd expect from a professional production.
If Sager's work is your cup of tea, I'd advise reading a physical copy of this one.
If, like me, you're lukewarm on Sager in general... SKIP IT. Not worth the time, or the credit.
Sager has yet to spin an original yarn or have anyone even remotely likeable as a protagonist.

Needs different narrator
I have been waiting for the release of this audiobook. As everyone has mentioned, I am disappointed and confused by the choice of narrator. She sounds 65, which does not match the described character at all. The story is interesting, but completely overshadowed by the mismatched voice. I'll have to read the physical book, which completely defeates the point of paying for an increasingly expensive audiobook service.

Gaaaaahhhh!! 🤦🏻♀️
I love Riley Sager’s books! But oh my I hate this one! I will include no spoilers… but I have to say, I was never able to reconcile the grandma voice (no offense to the reader) to our protagonist who is supposed to be way younger. However I was willing to overlook that…. But then the “twist” happened and it made me want to throw this book in the lake and watch it sink! The supernatural elements are always a cheap way to try and get good reviews, or to chock people, they are highly unnecessary in this genre and Riley stop making deals with the devil, you don’t need it you’re a good Writter!
