About the Book:
When Charlotte married the wealthy widower Paul, it caused a ripple of
gossip in their small lakeside town. They have a charmed life together, despite
the cruel whispers about her humble past and his first marriage. But everything
starts to unravel when she discovers a young woman’s body floating in the exact
same spot where Paul’s first wife tragically drowned.
At first, it seems like a horrific coincidence,
but the stranger in the lake is no stranger. Charlotte saw Paul talking to her
the day before, even though Paul tells the police he’s never met the woman. His
lie exposes cracks in their fragile new marriage, cracks Charlotte is
determined to keep from breaking them in two.
As Charlotte uncovers dark mysteries about the
man she married, she doesn’t know what to trust—her heart, which knows Paul to
be a good man, or her growing suspicion that there’s something he’s hiding in
the water.

My Thoughts
So that was..........fantastic!!! Yes, Kimberly Belle managed to pull it off again. I literally couldn't put this book down. I flew through this in just one day.
Charlotte or Charlie- depending on who you ask...has found the man of her dreams. A small town girl that was raised by a drug addict in a trailer park that was under deplorable conditions- marries the town millionaire....hmm this is going to be interesting.
When Charlotte marries Paul.... well people are going to talk. Gold digger anyone?? You be the judge..but the town has branded her as a gold digger as well Paul's wonderful mother. I mean couldn't it just be love? Paul is not only a millionaire, he is "the man" of the tiny town. Everyone knows Keller Architecture and everyone knows of Paul. See Paul lost his wife to a drowning accident, even though she was an excellent swimmer. She was also more loaded than Paul. Soooo you do the math.
I loved this book! It was mysterious from start to finish. I didn't know if I should love Charlotte or hate her. Am I #teamcharlotte? Read for yourself and I think you will figure it out. I especially loved the whole secluded lake environment. It gave the story a creepy vibe. The Kellers had a gorgeous home that Paul had designed, with huge windows that faced the lake. Which was fantastic during the day, but at night...well night is a different story. The windows are so huge they don't have window dressings, what is the need anyway, they have no immediate neighbors. Yet as a murder happens right in front of their windows, unbeknownst to them...well it got a bit creepy. Who is out there and who is looking in? I am getting goosebumps thinking about it!
One dead body in the lake, well ok...two dead bodies in the lake...umm ok...three dead...Houston we have a problem! Mysterious, creepy, page-turner! This book had it all for me. Add it to the list of all the other books I love by this author!
Loved it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 5 big hearts for this one!!!!!
