Kate Morton - The Lake House

Living on her family's idyllic lakeside estate in Cornwall, England, Alice Edevane is a bright, inquisitive, innocent, and precociously talented sixteen-year-old who loves to write stories. But the mysteries she pens are no match for the one her family is about to endure. One midsummer's eve, after a beautiful party drawing hundreds of guests to the estate has ended, the Edevanes discover that their youngest child, eighteen-month-old Theo, has vanished without a trace. What follows is a tragedy that tears the family apart in ways they never imagined. Decades later, Alice is living in London, having enjoyed a long successful career as an author. Theo's case has never been solved, though Alice still harbors a suspicion as to the culprit. Miles away, Sadie Sparrow, a young detective in the London police force, is staying at her grandfather's house in Cornwall. While out walking one day, she stumbles upon the old estate now crumbling and covered with vines. Her curiosity is sparked, setting off a series of events that will reveal shocking truths about a past long gone yet more present than ever. A lush, atmospheric tale of intertwined destinies, The Lake House is an enthralling and thoroughly satisfying read.

Kate Morton, a native Australian, holds degrees in dramatic art and English literature. She has previously written  The House at Riverton, The Forgotten Garden, and The Distant Hours which  have all been number one bestsellers around the world. She lives with her family in Brisbane, Australia.
