The Lake House by Kate Morton is the mysterious and enchanting
fifth novel from the number one bestselling author of The House at
Riverton and The Secret Keeper. June 1933, and the Edevane family's
country house, Loeanneth, is polished and gleaming, ready for the
much-anticipated Midsummer Eve party. Alice Edevane, sixteen years
old and a budding writer, is especially excited. Not only has she
worked out the perfect twist for her novel, she's also fallen
helplessly in love with someone she shouldn't. But by the time
midnight strikes and fireworks light up the night skies, the
Edevane family will have suffered a loss so great that they leave
Loeanneth forever. Seventy years later, after a particularly
troubling case, DC Sadie Sparrow is sent on an enforced break from
her job with the Metropolitan Police. She retreats to her beloved
grandfather's cottage in Cornwall, but soon finds herself at a
loose end. Until one day, Sadie stumbles upon an abandoned house
surrounded by overgrown gardens and dense woods, and learns the
story of a baby boy who disappeared without a trace. Meanwhile, in
the attic writing room of her elegant Hampstead home, the
formidable Alice Edevane, now an old lady, leads a life as neatly
plotted as the bestselling detective novels she writes. That is
until a young police detective starts asking questions about her
family's past, seeking to resurrect the complex tangle of secrets
Alice has spent her life trying to escape . . .
