Felt like the author forced an awkward love interest into the book and that she did little to no research on guns the way she kept repeating the same safety rule like a broken record. like hello yes he has a gun am I the only one keeping up? It felt so forced to me, the whole book. She had initially met this character at a shooting range and knew he was ex military. The author did not use the intro to really introduce anything and the middle was so boring only the end did anything really happen and then she left us on a cliff hanger? CMON this boring book does not need to be stretched into two! One instance I can remember rolling my eyes is when the main character all worked up asked the man she was sorta dating if he had a gun and to watch her kids. It dragged on and on until, FINALLY, something happened and then left us at a cliff hanger. Wish I could take that back, I am so disappointed! I feel like the narrator didn't have much to work with, the story was ridiculous, I almost stopped listening half way through but decided to push on hoping it would get better. I was so excited with the Summary being right up my alley. Thank You.Īfter reading many of the positive reviews I decided to purchase and listen to Stillhouse Lake.

This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Emily Sutton-Smith does a fabulous job narrating. This is an author I will definitely watch for new books. When first one then a second body turns up at the lake she is living on, she once again finds herself the center of attention and a suspect in the murders. Somehow she keeps being tracked down and her ex husband continues to send her letters from behind bars. She changes her name, learns how to handle a gun and begins moving from place to place trying to stay anonymous. She is acquitted but it doesn't matter to the townspeople or the internet stalkers, all those who believe she truly is guilty.

When the truth comes out accidentally she is called his helper and put on trial as an accomplice. Here she is happily going about her life not knowing that her husband is a serial killer. This story is so realistic and so believable and so frustrating! My heart goes out to this woman even knowing that she is only a figment of the author's imagination. The suspense is palpable and the build up is superb. Outstanding book! A must for suspense lovers.
