Perfect for you if...

You love psychological thrillers where the protagonist's grip on reality fractures, like in Gone Girl or The Silent Patient.
You're drawn to atmospheric horror with a sense of wrongness that builds slowly, where the setting itself feels like a character.
You appreciate stories that blur the line between supernatural menace and internal mental breakdown, leaving you unsure what's real.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots with clear answers. This one prioritises atmosphere and dread over quick resolutions.
You want a reassuring ending or a protagonist you can root for without ambiguity. Miles' reliability becomes genuinely questionable.
You're after cosy mysteries or lighter psychological reads. This leans into genuine unease and darker territory.

About this book

Miles Turner relocates to the lakeside town of Draymere with his family, hoping for a fresh start tied to his wife's career. Upon arrival, he senses something amiss. A crooked smile begins appearing to him repeatedly, and he finds himself repeatedly at the edge of the town's lake with no recollection of how he arrived there. When a body washes ashore, Detective Maria Martinez begins an investigation. Miles becomes drawn into her search for answers. As events unfold, he loses his sense of identity and is haunted by unexplainable feelings. He must determine whether the darkness originates from within himself or from something deeper connected to Draymere and its lake. The novel combines psychological and supernatural horror elements, examining the darkness that exists beneath the surface of the human mind.
