From New York Times and internationally bestselling author Kate Morton comes an intricately plotted, spellbinding novel of heart-stopping suspense and uncovered secrets – delve into this exciting 2nd audiobook edition of The Lake House, read by the talented screen actress Daisy Head.
A missing child … June 1933, and the Edevane family’s country house, Loeanneth, is polished and gleaming, ready for the much-anticipated Midsummer Eve party. Alice Edevane, sixteen years old and a budding writer, is especially excited. Not only has she worked out the perfect twist for her novel, she’s also fallen helplessly in love with someone she shouldn’t. But by the time midnight strikes and fireworks light up the night skies, the Edevane family will have suffered a loss so great that they leave Loeanneth forever.
An abandoned house … Seventy years later, after a particularly troubling case, Sadie Sparrow is sent on an enforced break from her job with the Metropolitan Police. Sadie retreats to her beloved grandfather’s cottage in Cornwall but soon finds herself at a loose end. Until one day, she stumbles upon an abandoned house surrounded by overgrown gardens and dense woods and learns the story of a baby boy who disappeared without a trace.
An unsolved mystery… Meanwhile, in the attic writing room of her elegant Hampstead home, the formidable Alice Edevane, now an old lady, leads a life as neatly plotted as the bestselling detective novels she writes. Until a young police detective starts asking questions about her family’s past, seeking to resurrect the complex tangle of secrets Alice has spent her life trying to escape.
'An absorbing tale of family secrets.'
Choice Magazine
‘A deliciously compelling mystery.’
Liane Moriarty, New York Times bestselling author
'Morton's plotting is impeccable, and her finely wrought characters, brought together in the end by Sparrow's investigation, are as surprised as readers will be by the astonishing conclusion.'
Publishers Weekly
‘ Featuring the sort of expansive, absorbing, heart-wrenching story that is swiftly becoming the trademark of this Australian author ... Morton’s elements of mystery are always tightly-wound and expertly plotted ... It will transport you to the Cornish countryside, dissolve your trials in the face of others’ and-most of all-make you remember why you love reading so much. It is Kate Morton at her finest.’
Reader's Digest
‘Secrets from the past come to light in the present, a theme that is the author’s specialty ... Missing babies, maternal sacrifice, and secrets, secrets, secrets – Morton offers generous clues, only to peel back deeper layers just when the truth seems close ... [N]ot short on heart-wrenching choices and rich characters.’
Booklist
'Once again she delivers the satisfactions of all her best sellers ... Mysteries at the core, they draw depth and appeal from her carefully applied layers of family, history and moral conundrum.'
