The residents of Swan Mirror Tower live in the lap of luxury. Along with fortune and fame, the residents have their fair share of affairs, lies, and deceit. The fifteen story luxury apartment complex is complete with staff and a remarkable view. A view that has a story. The haunted lake behind the tower is legendary but often times underestimated. The Legend of the Lake has often been dismissed as a story to frighten children but older people know better. They remember the devastation. The lives of the residents in the tower are forever changed when a woman is found floating in the mysterious Shadow Lake behind the tower. This suspenseful thriller chronicles The Tragedy at Shadow Lake and the woman known as The Lady in the Lake.
Shadow Lake by La Belle covers the issues that are happening in our society. It is an eye opener that keeps you hooked till the end. The book introduces us to the secrete lives of the characters. As we read this interesting story we come across the fears, deception,rejection,lies, infidelity, mystery and even murder. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves mystery,secrecy or just wants a good story to read.
I'm confused on why this has such a high rating. The story was full of cheating spouses, demanding mistresses, women trying to get pregnant, and lots of unhappy marriages/relationships. It started off good with a lady found dead and hinted to a past history of the lake. After that, it was just who was cheating and with how many. Definitely went downhill for my tastes.
Shadow Lake is a beautifully crafted story that really engages the reader. These characters feel like real people and La Belle's writing takes you into their world. It's a quick read because you actually don't want to put it down. I'm telling everyone I know to read (or listen to) it!
