Publisher's summary

A new town, a new life, and a new home - with an absolutely chilling lakefront view.

Two months a widow, Mallory Dent has made the impulsive decision to pack up and move on. In remote McNamara, nestled in the northern mountains, she can escape her grief, guilt, and pain. But the day Mallory arrives, death follows her, lapping just outside her door. A woman’s body is found floating in Loss Lake - and it’s not the first death on these shores. Locals talk about a monster in the depths with an almost disturbing reverence.

Sergeant Joel Benson understands Mallory’s unease. Years ago, his own brother was killed in the home Mallory now owns. But that was just a tragic accident. Wasn’t it? The more Mallory investigates, the more fearful she becomes. Maybe there are monsters in McNamara. Maybe some have followed her there.

As a winter storm bears down, the refuge Mallory sought has become a trap. It’s time to face her past, the secrets behind the town’s friendly faces, and a reckoning that will shatter the eerie, icy calm of Loss Lake.

decent story

I have to disagree with the previous review. The story was interesting and the characters were great! I enjoyed the atmospheric feel the author portrayed with all the details. I did not like the ending as it felt cut off but the book did hold my interest. It is not a deep book that you will think of after reading.

On and on about nothing!

Had to quit on Chapter 6. I was hoping for a plot, but had to settle for learning that the bathroom housed the washer and dryer, the day’s outfit was simple black pants and a striped long sleeved t-shirt, and the laundry detergent was lemon and lavender powder. I couldn’t take it anymore.

The reader was hard to listen to, but I’ll cut her some slack given the material.

Yikes! This book needed a good editor!
