The Lake of Lost Girls by Katherine Greene

 

Thank you Net Galley and Katherine Greene for my ebook.

Katherine Greene is the pen name of two writers: A Meredith Walters and Catherine C Riley.

The Lake of Lost Girls is a suspense-filled story about the disappearances of four female college students in 1999. The plot line is driven by alternating past and present narratives of the main characters, and the scripts of a podcast by two annoyingly flippant women seeking out and interviewing possible witnesses to the disappearances twenty-four years ago.

Lindsey is 30 years old and was 6 when her sister, Jess, vanished.  Lindsey’s life for the last twenty-four years has been lived under the cloud of Jess’s disappearance, and she has always been desperate to know what happened to her sister. Something happens to bring the disappearances to the attention of the local police once more and at the same time a man seeks Lindsey out at the hotel where she works and tells her he is researching the case.

 Lindsey tells her story in the present while her sister, Jess, is speaking from twenty-four years ago. People are not necessarily what they seem to be, which is always an important ingredient in a good mystery story.

This book kept me enthralled from start to finish. There were a lot of twists and turns and I couldn’t begin to guess how the mystery was going to be resolved, right to the end.
