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 REVIEW:
This novel follows married couple Charlotte and Paul. Charlotte and her younger brother grew up in poverty in a rough part of town. Years later, Charlotte meets the handsome and wealthy widower Paul, and despite the warnings of other in the community she falls in love with Paul and they get married. Charlotte and Paul are in love and are happy. One morning Charlotte walks down to their boat to retrieve something she had forgotten from the previous evening, only to find the body of a woman floating under their dock. Who is the woman in the water, and what happened to her?
Fingers are quickly pointed towards her husband Paul. Afterall, his previous wife was found drowned in the same spot some years before, But Paul was found innocent then, but is he innocent now? Determined to prove he is innocent, and determined to believe her husband’s innocence, Paul and Charlotte are on a path to find out what truly happened that fateful day and to determine just who the stranger in the lake is found just outside their property.
What unfolds is an addictive, thrilling story that will have you guessing and second guessing just about everyone in this novel, and when the truth comes out it will rock you with revelations that you won’t see coming!
