Why read it?

2 authors picked Stillhouse Lake as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It was an amazing story and I enjoyed it so much! I was heartbroken to discover the author had passed away when I reached out to tell her how much I loved the series.

I love great suspense, and Rachel Caine sucked me in and refused to let me go with Stillhouse Lake.

The book’s plot was killer (pun intended), and I couldn’t get enough. I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to reach out to the author to tell her what I thought and sadly learned that she had passed away. It felt like I’d lost a literary friend.

It was extremely hard to pick only five titles, so to narrow it down, I 1) made an attempt to pick from a few different sub-genres and, 2) stipulated that Agatha Christie could populate the entire list. All of these titles blend wonderful writing with great twists, and I hope you enjoy them. I did my best to avoid spoilers in the descriptions, although by being on this list, it’s a little bit of a spoiler…
