The Suicide Lake
The Suicide Lake | Michael Penning
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Deep in the mountains, the deadliest demons are your own... Abigail Jacobs is a ghost-hunting witch. Haunted by a tragic past, she also drinks, swears, and has questionable relationships with unsavory men. For years she has maintained her secret, living a double-life as a schoolteacher in a posh 19th-century Boston neighborhood. But when her estranged sister arrives on her doorstep begging for help, Abigail must make a perilous journey into the heart of the Adirondack Mountains where a malevolent force is driving the residents of a remote logging town to take their own lives. Determined to defeat the terrible evil preying on the village, Abigail forms an unlikely partnership with a young pastor, Father Carnes. Together with her brother-in-law, Duncan, and a roguish lumberjack named Colvin, she unlocks a dark secret that could be the key to their salvation. But the superstitious villagers don't take well to her unusual methods. Time is running short, and if Abigail doesn't work quickly, she could very well be hanged by the same people she is trying to save.

My friend wrote this book so this review is full of bias- sorry. There‘s suspense and suspicion at every turn as a scorcher of a tale unfolds. While there are evident tropes, Abagail is a heroine worth a thousand men, and Penning takes nothing away from her. He is also generous with the “creepy”! There are moments where you‘re saying he wouldn‘t, then you say “he can‘t!?!”- but then he does! And Penning does horror very nicely.
