"Icy water laps against the wooden jetty. But the girl doesn't notice the cold as she slips slowly under the freezing surface... Running from a devastating relationship that almost cost her everything, Maddy Hart impulsively accepts a job as a live-in caretaker at imposing Lakeview House. She has no memories of having visited the crumbling mansion on the banks of Lake Thirlmere before, but when she arrives, something about the house feels familiar... The more time Maddy spends in the house, the more unsettled she feels. Why does the local story about the last woman who lived here, who drowned on her wedding day, chill Maddy to the bone? By day, she clears out the dusty rooms, but in the dead of night it's hard to explain away the eerie noises or crackly radio she hears hours after she turned it off. Slowly, Maddy begins to fear that her worst nightmare is coming true, has her past caught up with her...? When a soaking wet wedding dress is left on Maddy's doorstep she feels completely trapped. It is her exact measurements. Is her ex trying to send her a message? Or has Maddy's digging uncovered an even deadlier secret? Will this perfect escape become the perfect trap?"

It's pretty evident before the reveal who the killer is. I think the story would have been much more interesting if the author had chosen to focus on the drowned bride aspect of the story instead of having a serial killer element. I really thought that was the direction we were going after all. The book's conclusion doesn't solve anything and makes no sense. I spent the entire time liking hardly any of these characters, and none of them experienced any growth or development by the end of the story... a story which just abruptly comes to a close with lots of unanswered questions. It just felt like every action in this book was to help give the character a reason to behave a specific way in the next chapter. I feel like the author had picked one angle or even used less character's the story could have been a bit better. It just felt rushed. We got no reasoning for why the killer did what he did. It was just disappointing. ( )
