Kate Morton | The Lake House
The Lake House by Kate Morton is an atmospheric family mystery that moves between the 1930s and the present day, uncovering the secrets of an abandoned country house in Cornwall. In June 1933, the Edevane family is preparing for a magnificent Midsummer Eve party at their beautiful estate, Loeanneth. Sixteen-year-old Alice Edevane, an aspiring writer, is caught up in dreams of fiction and forbidden love. But before the night is over, her little brother Theo disappears without a trace, and the devastated family abandons the house forever.
Decades later, Metropolitan Police detective Sadie Sparrow arrives in Cornwall following a troubling case and discovers the long-deserted estate. Fascinated by the unsolved disappearance, she begins investigating the Edevane family's past. Her search eventually leads to the elderly Alice, now a successful crime novelist who has spent a lifetime living with memories and suspicions of her own. Blending historical fiction, mystery, romance and family drama, The Lake House is an intricately layered story about buried secrets, loss and the enduring power of the past.
