THE LAKE HOUSE

While her Australian accent might seem unexpected at first, Caroline Lee is the perfect narrator for this story, set in Cornwall, England. From the first sentence, Lee captures its fairy-tale quality and eerie ambiance—then remains impeccably engaged while completely disappearing for the entire 22 hours. Listeners will be captivated as they meet the Edevane family in the 1930s, when their baby boy goes missing during the annual midsummer party at the family’s lake house. In the early 2000s, police detective Sadie Sparrow seeks to find the truth about the cold case, as well as about a current case that she’s been reprimanded for botching. As Lee moves listeners between the past and the modern day, a thrilling mystery unfolds. Lee’s narration makes it an enchanting listen. M.M.G.
