The Lake House by Kate Morton

One Sentence Summary: An unsolved missing child case in 1933 gets another look in 2003.

Number of Pages: 492

Rating: a strong 4/5 stars

Review: I really liked this book. The story gradually unfolded and had multiple mysteries and backstories that were enjoyable to read. The plot that occurred back during WWI and WWII was especially interesting to read.  I myself liked the descriptions of the lake house and the surrounding area, and there were plenty of those. I could see how another reader, though, would just want the author to get on with the story and lose a few detailsit was a pretty lengthy book. However, the reason this book didn't earn a perfect review from me was because of the ineptitude of the police force; it was almost unbelievable at times. Also, the conversations wrapping up the story at the end of the book didn't seem to naturally fit in with the rest of the writing. Overall, I'd recommend this book.
