Stranger in the Lake: A Novel | 
pickI am officially a Kimberly Belle fan..Charlotte, fresh out of the trailer park, marries rich Paul who owns a beautiful home on Lake Crosby where his wife drowned 4 years prior. Suddenly another body washes up under Paul‘s dock that unearths some long buried secrets. I really enjoyed this story and how it fell together. I loved the atmosphere and the setting as I vacation in WNC every year. Definitely a good solid thriller!
Very solid mystery, I thought I had it figured out a couple times so I was even more impressed when it came together.
The MC drove me a little nuts at the beginning but I can‘t blame her. A young woman from the trailer park marries a rich widower, already the talk of the town. she finds the body of a woman who died similarly to the man‘s 1st wife. on his property. He takes off and leaves her to cover for him. I probably wouldn‘t do a good job 😂
Has anyone used this site? I came across it accidentally so I thought I would try it out! I got 5 books for $19 bucks! As if I needed more books 📚 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
pickAfter a whirlwind romance, Charlotte marries wealthy Paul in small town, western North Carolina. But then a woman is found dead under their dock, mirroring the death of Paul‘s first wife in the same lake. This is an enjoyable thriller and I didn‘t guess the ending, which was nice.
pickMy second Belle book. Suspenseful first chapter, draws you in right away. Little bit of a complicated ending but still glad I read it. Loved the last sentence❤️ Would read another of hers.
pickA haunting tale of secrets. Kimberly Belle weaves a rich tapestry of flawed characters, challenging the reader to solve it.
pickSurprised at the real culprit. First I read of her books. Will be looking for more.
pickThis has been on my TBR since it was released, and I‘m glad I finally read it! It was a well crafted domestic mystery that kept me hooked til the end. I‘d give it 4 stars out of 5. Solid!
pickThanks to #netgalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. Happily married to architect Paul, living in a gorgeous home overlooking a lake, an idyllic life, but then the body of a woman Charlotte has seen her husband with is found in the lake near their dock. Her husband denies knowing the woman. Another great read from Kimberly Belle, this book had my interest captivated from the start, with unexpected twists.
so-soI had a difficult time getting into this one as the narrative, in the beginning, was drawn. Once the story started moving, it got better although I figured out what who the murderer was about halfway through and accurately anticipated some of the plot twists.
I would have loved to see the characters more developed.
It isn‘t a bad book; it just left me wanting more from it. Her last book, “Dear Wife”, set a really high bar.

pickhttps://www.bluestockingreviews.com/post/stranger-in-the-lake STRANGER IN THE LAKE is a clever and consuming tension-filled mystery. The story is smartly structured, weaving together the events from twenty years ago and the present day mystery. The writing deftly peels away layer after layer through the wrenching backstory.
Happy Pub Day to one of my favorite authors!! Man, I just love a GOOD domestic thriller! Read.this.book!! Full review on my goodreads!
“How can you love a man who‘s only a shadow? How can you hate him?”
“Memories are strange that way. They don‘t have to be real to be visceral.”
so-soKimberly Belle always writes binge-worthy domestic thrillers. I loved reading along and trying to piece together this mystery! If you‘re looking for a quick atmospheric lake mystery, pick this one up June 9, 2020.
Thank you Park Row Books for the ARC!
pickI like Belle‘s books & her latest mystery holds some surprises (though there are some parts that may be a bit more expected). Set on a fictional lake in North Carolina, main narrator Charlotte has come a long way from her trailer park beginnings & is now married to one of the town‘s wealthiest men. Though much her senior, Charlotte doesn‘t really start asking questions until a body washes ashore at their back door. A quick & fun read!! #NetGalley
