The Lake of Lost Girls by Katherine Greene Book Review

Book Synopsis: Told in alternating timelines, The Lake of Lost Girls is a haunting novel that will thrill fans of All Good People Here and We Are All the Same in the Dark.

Using suspenseful podcast clips to weave a twisty tale of a missing student and her sister who is desperate for answers, The Lake of Lost Girls is perfect for fans of I Have Some Questions for You.

It’s 1998, and female students are going missing at Southern State University in North Carolina. But freshman Jessica Fadley, once a bright and responsible student, is going through her own struggles. Just as her life seems to be careening dangerously out of control, she suddenly disappears.

Twenty-four years later, Jessica’s sister Lindsey is desperately searching for answers and uses the momentum of a new chart-topping true crime podcast, Ten Seconds to Vanish, that focuses on the cold cases, to guide her own investigation. Soon, interest reaches fever pitch when the bodies of the long-missing women begin turning up at a local lake, which leads Lindsey down a disturbing road of discovery.

In the present, one sister seeks to untangle a complicated web of lies.
In the past, the other descends ever deeper into a darkness that will lead to her ultimate fate.

This propulsive and chilling suspense is a sharp examination of sisterhood and the culture of true crime.

💭 Review: “Wow. This book was so good! I got the recommendation from Booktok and I initially was nervous it would be a letdown since so many people loved it (too high of hopes usually follows in disappointment) but NOPE! I LOVED IT. 

The audiobook version was 🤌🏼 and I think reading the physical version wouldn’t have been near as good! 

The twist at the end had me shook! 

While I started to put the puzzle pieces together 75% of the way through, I still thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns and couldn’t listen fast enough. I love those books where you’re literally reading it any second you get and this one was just that! I highly recommend you give this thriller a try!”
