In an intense, twisty, Hitchcockian standalone spin on Rear Window from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson, a woman returns to the Oregon town where a nightmare unfolded 20 years ago—and is waiting to engulf her again. For fans of J.T. Ellison, Paula Hawkins, Karin Slaughter, and Riley Sager.

The huge Victorian house on Lake Twilight belongs to Harper Reed Prescott, as does the private island on which it sits. Harper wants little to do with either. Twenty years ago, Harper’s grandmother died suspiciously while in her care, on the same night that Harper’s boyfriend disappeared. His body was never found, and no charges were filed. But the rumors haven’t faded. There have been other deaths, other accidents. All revolving around Harper and her family.

Now Harper’s marriage is over, her college-age daughter is estranged, and Harper just wants to sell the property and make a fresh start. Except returning to the lake has stirred everything up again. Whispers. Memories. And the persistent feeling that, as she gazes out at the houses across the water, she’s being watched in turn.

The whole town has always thought Harper has something to hide, and they’re right. But she might have even more to fear . . .

Great until it went woke- sad. I was really enjoying the long story until it went abit sideways.

The mystery until it went woke. Pretty impressive until halfway in 😒

Trouble at first because of the time periods, then I understood the value of switching. The ending was a surprise and that was great. Good read.

Characters were well developed.

I enjoyed this book for the most part. Some of the characters were frustrating. I kept wanting to yell "wake up." supposedly smart people that could not figure out anything until it hit them over the head.

Worth A Credit

It’s a good book but it was much too long. I found it hard to find a character that I really liked very much. Well I did like the grandmother. It was mostly predictable except one thing did surprise me. It’s worth the credit and listening to.

It was longer than it should be

Quite a twist but fully enjoyable! It kept me guessing. A good ending. My next read is Lisa Jackson.

Twisty!

Lisa Jackson’s books are ones I’ve read/listened to for years. They have all been really amazing. This is no different. Though, I’ve noticed that in her books there is a romance that blooms in every book. This one didn’t really have it so much in the present. It’s not a complaint because I’ve quit reading romance but it was different. This one really kept me on the edge of my seat. I almost forgot how brilliant Lisa Jackson really is. Worth the listen. It was a great storyline. I’m also a fan of the “rear window” aspect of this books. That was a brilliant one by Hitchcock and is one of my favorite old time movies.

Suspenseful

of course I pre-ordered this book ! I love lisa jackson and I almost own every single book she has ever written! ( I'm still missing 3 maybe 4 but I'm soooo close ) this one was worth the wait! it is a stand alone book which is not my favorite usually but in this case there was so many twist and turns and detail and characters! I will be starting it over and literally just finished ! a must read ( all lisa jackson books no matter the genre are a must read ) but this is up a level even for ms jackson !

so many twist and turns !
