Recently finished Rachel Caine’s first installment in the “Stillhouse Lake” series. This story features a wife with two children who suddenly find their lives upended when her husband is arrested and convicted in a gruesome series of serial killings. The lead character’s journey to escape the wrath of victim’s family members and internet trolls and to protect her family is captivating, chilling and certainly “gripping” as promised. Not for the faint of heart, but a truly great suspense thriller. I’m well into book #2, “Killman Creek” and journey grows even more compelling! ML
I was so glad to find out the 2nd book was out. Great premise. Loved the characters.
This and it’s sequel killman Crrek are both intriguing and unpredictable
I enjoyed this enough to download the next book in this series!
Very unusual story line. Kept me wanting to know what was next. Glad there are 2 more books after this to continue the story!
This was a page turner with an unpredictable ending.
great story telling with a lot of twists. hard to put down.
I really loved this book and the sequel. Can’t wait for book three to be released! Excellent story, well written. Keeps you engaged.
An edge of your seat book that you won’t be able to put down! I enjoyed it so much, I pre-ordering the next one and can’t wait for it.
Good read
It is a book that the reader thinks she knows the ending, but it changes many times throughout the book.
One of the best books I have read in a long time. Intense, interesting & intriguing. This is not a stand alone book though. You must read the 2nd book in the series to complete the plotline. The 3rd book is not out yet. If you like thrillers/mysteries I highly recommend this book!
WOW! I couldn’t put this one down. I love the character development. When I finished I had to order the next one. I have to admit there were times I was thinking she should just end it all, it was that hopeless. This writer can make you feel what each person is going through. Even the dog.
Great book!
OMG I couldn’t read this fast enough. Crazy good read. My new favorite author.
This book drew me in and held me delightfully-captive from beginning to end. The plot keeps you guessing, the characters are realistic, likeable and identifiable and the scenery is described in such a way as to make you feel that you are an actual bystander in every scene. Once I started reading this story, the desperate need for sleep is the only thing that made me put my Kindle down. I am SO excited to move on to the next book in the series!
Caine has easily and immediately become one of my new, favorite authors!
Suspenseful. I enjoyed this one.
An insightful portrayal of the dark side of humanity.
I read it in a couple of days. The ending was a surprise & want to read the 2nd one in the series.
I devoured this book, and read the next in the series immediately. It is beautifully and thoughtfully written and kept me riveted. The characters are rich and well drawn. I don’t want to give any of the story away. If you like psychological thrillers, this is a must read.
