Dead Lake

By: Darcy Coates

Narrated by: Nicky Phillips

A week's visit to the remote Harob Lake cabin couldn't have come at a better time for Sam.

She's battling artist's block ahead of a major gallery exhibition. Staying at the lake house is her final, desperate attempt to paint the collection that could save her floundering career. It seems perfect: no neighbors, no phone, no distractions.

But the dream retreat disintegrates into a nightmare when Sam sees a stranger by the lake.

A tall, mysterious man stands on the edge of her dock, staring intently into the swirling waters below. He starts to follow her. He disables her car. He destroys her only way to communicate with the outside world. And something about the man seems… unnatural.

Soon Sam suspects he's responsible for the series of disappearances from a nearby hiking trail.

Completely stranded, Sam realizes she's become the prey in the hunter's deadliest game…

Just ok

Not my favorite Darcy Coates book. I kept waiting for it to get better but it didn’t.

I like her writing

I like it's a story without swearing or sex just an enjoyable read and trying to figure the end

Meh

Maybe this is intended for a YA audience? Pretty lackluster overall - I listened at 2X speed to get through it in the hope of an interesting end, but alas, no.

Creepy

What a creepy short story! Not my favorite Darcy Coates, but she never disappoints! The narration was very well done.

Fun listen

A fun and enjoyable thriller that will engulf your attention. By the second half I just had to find out what was going to happen next. Narrated very well.
