Suicide Lake

By: Ashley Fontainne

Narrated by: Sara Morsey

Those who have secrets beneath the murky waters will stop at nothing to keep them hidden.

Renee Thornton is on the brink of despair, ready to take a final plunge and join the other tragic souls at the bottom of Bradford Lake - known to locals as Suicide Lake.

Her plans change when she's startled back to reality after a body brushes up against her from the depths below. Terrified, Renee runs away and slams into her old flame Cliff Simpson, a deputy with Whitten County Sheriff's Department.

Strange events unfurl after the discovery of the corpse. Renee and Cliff find themselves caught up in a web of lies, deceit, and mystery.

Now, instead of being able to slip away silently and become another anonymous statistic, Renee finds herself entangled in a murder investigation. Is Cliff her ally or enemy? Who can she trust? What other secrets will rise to the surface?

Riveting ... Could Not Stop Listening

Would you consider the audio edition of Suicide Lake to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version so therefore I could not say.

What other book might you compare Suicide Lake to and why?

I would compare Suicide Lake to Cirque Macabre because they have the same type of suspense and intrigue that makes you want to keep listening,.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene would be when Renee discovers the body and Officer "Dick" as she calls him is being really obnoxious with her and she doesn't back down. I love a female lead that has a strong character.

This is a dark mystery/ thriller. Journey along to find out "who done it." There are plenty of twists and turns that keep you guessing. Who will prevaai? Listen on to find out.


The narration was well done. The characters were excellently portrayed.

Twisty!

All of the crazy plot twists and revenge driven antagonists I've come to expect from Fontainne! I literally had no idea what the outcome was going to be, until the very last minute! Morley was the perfect choice for the narration. With her sweet southern charm meshes perfectly with the story. Loved it! I received a promotional copy in exchange for an honest review.

Could have been more

Underneath the dark water holds the secrets that will chance Renee’s life forever. When Renee can’t deal with her life and the haunting past, she decides it was time to end her life like so many others have. As she was ready to take her life, she discovers a dead body that changes her plans…and also runs into an old friend that just happened to be there.

For the first half of the story I was fully engaged as I was trying to figure out what was going on. The characters had their secrets – even the ones that just seemed like normal-nothing-important characters. There was so many secrets.

There was some instant love stuff…or was it old feelings brewing. Either way, I didn’t really care for it. I’m not sure it really added to the story for me. And then there was the surprise erotica.


It didn’t last long but did we really need it there? After that it went all down hill for me. We encounter an information dumb, big surprise that wasn’t much of a surprise, and then The End.

How was the Audio? Sara Morsey did an excellent job narrating. The audio was clear and the pacing didn’t make you feel like you wanted to sleep.

Overall, this story was just okay for me.

Paybacks are Hell!

Where does Suicide Lake rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I liked this book because the author actually put you into the minds the way real people think and talk.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Suicide Lake?

When the main character went to the lake to take her life and she encounters a dead body. All hell breaks loose after that.

Which character – as performed by Sara Morsey – was your favorite?

I liked the way she did Billy. Hard to do a man if you are a woman. LoL

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The Lake is not always what it seems.
