The Lake of Lost Girls: A Novel | Katherine Greene
3 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
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. Its 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, Jessicas sister Lindsey is desperately searching for answers and uses the momentum of a new chart-topping true crime podcast that focuses on 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 searches 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.

Wow... this one kept me guessing the entire time. Every time I thought I had it figured out, I'd be veered in another direction. I love when I want to rush to the end so I can see who did it! Great read ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

I like the way the story was written in alternating chapters between 1999 and 2023 showing the reader the disappearances vs being told what happened. What makes this a slower pick for me is the 2023 characterization of the MC, Lyndsay. I think the story would have been better had they edited out her angst, made her more likable, and gave the reader fear for her safety.

With multiple perspectives, a late-1990s & a modern storyline plus multimedia content, this writing duo‘s second novel makes for an engaging mystery. Jess Fadley disappeared in only moments from the front of her home while her younger sister looked away for only ten seconds. 24 years later, the grisly discovery of remains brings new focus on what was actually a string of disappearances. Red herrings & a real twist beg for this one to be discussed!
