Daughters of the Lake

By: Wendy Webb

Narrated by: Xe Sands

The ghosts of the past come calling in a spellbinding heart stopper from the "Queen of the Northern Gothic".

After the end of her marriage, Kate Granger has retreated to her parents' home on Lake Superior to pull herself together - only to discover the body of a murdered woman washed into the shallows. Tucked in the folds of the woman's curiously vintage gown is an infant, as cold and at peace as its mother. No one can identify the woman. Except for Kate. She's seen her before. In her dreams...

One hundred years ago, a love story ended in tragedy, its mysteries left unsolved. It's time for the lake to give up its secrets. As each mystery unravels, it pulls Kate deeper into the eddy of a haunting folktale that has been handed down in whispers over generations. Now, it's Kate's turn to listen.

As the drowned woman reaches out from the grave, Kate reaches back. They must come together, if only in dreams, to right the sinister wrongs of the past.

Haunting tale of love & despair

A beautifully haunting tale of love that encompasses the past & follows the future. A love so strong that old wrongs can be set straight. I usually try to stretch my audiobooks out to last a few days but I couldn't not continue to listen. A tragic tale with many unexpected twists & turns but in the end, love remains.

Narrator Terrible

I wanted to love this book. I will buy a paper copy. This is one of the most annoying narrators ever. She voice is trembly and obnoxious. It would have been much better if if she would have just read it look normal person without the bizarre flourishes. I tried to hang on but got worse.

One of Wendy Webb's better stories

I really enjoyed this one much better than the last book of Webb I listened to. The story had just enough mystery, love, feel good drama, and fairytale. It is a little Grimm, a little chick-lit, a little murder mystery all rolled into one. It's not mind-blowingly unique but it's a decent story and I felt like I really wanted to know how it end.

Can't put my finger on why this narrator annoys me but she just does. I nearly gave up on the book because of her but thankfully persevered.

Just fantastic

the narrator did a fantastic job with the imagery of the story and really submerging you in it thank you.

Well written.

listened all night. just obsessed with solving the mystery. Good solid story line with a few neat twisted that"'ll trip you right jump.

I have listened to this book over and over and I applaud Wendy Webb for a well written and entrancing story! I never grow tired of it!

captivating

had me at the edge of my seat. couldn't stop listening. I had to know what was next.

Another masterpiece!

I have waited so long for another Wendy Webb novel. This one did not disappoint. Ms. Webb has a talent for making you feel like you are experiencing what the narrator is describing. I can't wait for her next book!
