Summit Lake

by Charlie Donlea

Book Overview

"A gem of a mystery, fast-paced and suspenseful." --Catherine Coulter, # 1 New York Times bestselling author No suspects. No persons of interest. Just a girl who was alive one day and dead the next. Some places seem too beautiful to be touched by horror. Summit Lake, nestled in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, is that kind of place. But two weeks ago, Becca Eckersley, a first-year law student and daughter of a powerful attorney, was brutally murdered there. Now the town is reeling with grief, and the police are baffled . "An exciting debut, with all the right touches, captivating from the first page to the last." --Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author At first, investigative reporter Kelsey Castle thinks of the assignment as a fluff piece. But the savagery of the crime, and the efforts to keep it quiet, hint at something far more sinister than a random attack by a stranger. As Kelsey digs deeper, despite danger and warnings, she feels a growing connection to the dead girl. And the more she learns about Becca's friendships, her love life--and her secrets--the more convinced she becomes that walking in Becca's footsteps could lead her out of her own dark past... "A swift, outstanding debut." --Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author "Fans of contemporary suspense will enjoy this brisk read." --Booklist

Customer Reviews

Great book!

I really enjoyed this book. It is fast-paced and interesting, and had a couple of twists I didn't expect. If you like a good mystery, you should give Charlie Donlea a try!

Great read!

Well written and intriguing, will continue to read his books

I really enjoyed this book

I had never read this author before, now I'm looking for all of his books. This was very good!

Great author and book!

I love Donlea’s books because of the roller coasters they take my mind on. This one did it again! I was guessing and second guessing myself. I really loved the characters in this book!! A great read!

A slightly cliche, albeit fun and exciting read!

The whole first few chapters... actually most of the book will probably make you go, "Hm, this sounds very basic and obvious." Which, I'll be honest: it is. BUT it's the fun of the ride and the excitement of the story's pacing that will keep you in. It's gritty, it's vivid, it's definitely not for the faint of heart at some points. However, Summit Lake is an absolute BLAST to read.
