Harlequin Blog Tour - Stranger in the Lake

 Stranger in the Lake by Kimberly Belle

About the Book from Harlequin:

When Charlotte married the wealthy widower Paul, it caused a ripple of gossip in their small lakeside town. They have a charmed life together, despite the cruel whispers about her humble past and his first marriage. But everything starts to unravel when she discovers a young woman’s body floating in the exact same spot where Paul’s first wife tragically drowned.

At first, it seems like a horrific coincidence, but the stranger in the lake is no stranger. Charlotte saw Paul talking to her the day before, even though Paul tells the police he’s never met the woman. His lie exposes cracks in their fragile new marriage, cracks Charlotte is determined to keep from breaking them in two.

As Charlotte uncovers dark mysteries about the man she married, she doesn’t know what to trust—her heart, which knows Paul to be a good man, or her growing suspicion that there’s something he’s hiding in the water.

My Review after reading the book:

 

Charlie finally has the life she has always wanted. The perfect husband, a big house, money in the bank and a baby on the way. She grew up in less than ideal circumstances, so she is secure and happy despite all the rumors about her husband Paul. 

One day Charlie is out at the dock and finds a body floating in the water. Surely this could not happen twice to Paul. His first wife was also found floating in the bay.

As clues become uncovered, everyone is a suspect. Charlie soon calls on her brother Chet to stay with her as Paul has gone off to find his friend Jax. 

Paul, Jax and Micah were all friends growing up until an unfortunate incident forced the friends apart. Paul and Micah stayed close, but Jax became a recluse and he now seems to be the number one suspect in the case. 

Things quickly heat up as more clues are uncovered and Charlie starts questioning her marriage and who is telling the truth. Who is she going to be safe with?

This was a very interesting book. I loved all the back stories and the character development. You begin questioning each character as the story unfolds. Just as you think you have it all figured out, another twist occurs, and you are left doubting once again. A definite page turner and a fabulous mystery. Thank you so much to the author Kimberly Belle, Harlequin and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was fabulous!
