The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager is a spine-tingling psychological thriller about obsession, secrets, and deception. Recently widowed actress Casey Fletcher retreats to her family’s lake house to escape scandal—only to fixate on the glamorous couple across the water. When the wife mysteriously disappears, Casey’s curiosity turns into suspicion, and what she uncovers is far darker than she imagined.
Blending the voyeuristic tension of The Girl on the Train with a chilling supernatural twist, Sager delivers a taut, cinematic page-turner filled with atmosphere, misdirection, and shocking revelations.
