Description
"Casey Fletcher, una célebre actriz que acaba de perder a su esposo en un trágico accidente, intenta escapar de su dolor y una racha de malas críticas cuando decide refugiarse en la casa de su familia junto a un lago en Vermont. Equipada con un par de binoculares y varias botellas de licor, dedica su tiempo a observar a Tom y Katherine Royce, la atractiva pareja que vive en la casa al otro lado del lago. Parecen ser el matrimonio ideal: Tom, un rico empresario de tecnología, y Katherine, una hermosa ex modelo. Un día en el lago, Casey salva milagrosamente a Katherine de ahogarse, y las dos comienzan a entablar una amistad. Pero cuanto más se conocen y más tiempo pasa Casey observándolos, queda claro que el matrimonio no es tan armonioso y perfecto como parece. Cuando repentinamente Katherine desaparece, Casey no cree que haya regresado a Manhattan como sugieren sus publicaciones en redes sociales, presiente que algo turbio ha ocurrido y se obsesiona con tratar de descubrirlo. Además, una serie de nuevas desapariciones la hacen sospechar que algo mucho más oscuro existe detrás. Sin embargo, descubrir la verdad será solo la antesala de un misterio mucho más espeluznante de lo que pudo haber imaginado."-- back cover.
Description
"It looks like a familiar story: A woman reeling from a great loss with too much time on her hands and too much booze in her glass watches her neighbors, sees things she shouldn't see, and starts to suspect the worst. But looks can be deceiving. . . . Casey Fletcher, a recently widowed actress trying to escape a streak of bad press, has retreated to her family's lake house in Vermont. Armed with a pair of binoculars and several bottles of liquor, she passes the time watching Tom and Katherine Royce, the glamorous couple living in the house across the lake. Everything about the Royces seems perfect. Their marriage. Their house. The bucolic lake it sits beside. But when Katherine suddenly vanishes, Casey becomes obsessed with finding out what happened to her. In the process, she discovers the darker truths lurking just beneath the surface of the Royces' picture-perfect marriage. Truths no suspicious voyeur could begin to imagine--even with a few drinks under her belt. Like Casey, you'll think you know where this story is headed. Think again. Because once you open the door to obsession, you never know what you might find on the other side."-- from English-language edition.
