Book Synopsis



A 2024 November LibraryReads Pick

Told in alternating timelines, The Lake of Lost Girls is a haunting novel that will thrill fans of All Good People Here and We Are All the Same in the Dark.

Using suspenseful podcast clips to weave a twisty tale of a missing student and her sister who is desperate for answers, The Lake of Lost Girls is perfect for fans of I Have Some Questions for You.

It's 1998, and female students are going missing at Southern State University in North Carolina, but freshman Jessica Fadley, once a bright and responsible student, is going through her own struggles. Just as her life seems to be careening dangerously out of control, she suddenly disappears.

Twenty-four years later, Jessica's sister Lindsey is desperately searching for answers and uses the momentum of a new chart-topping true crime podcast that focuses on cold cases to guide her own investigation. Soon, interest reaches a fever pitch when the bodies of the long-missing women begin turning up at a local lake, which leads Lindsey down a disturbing road of discovery.

In the present, one sister searches to untangle a complicated web of lies.

In the past, the other descends ever deeper into a darkness that will lead to her ultimate fate.

This propulsive and chilling suspense is a sharp examination of sisterhood and the culture of true crime.



Review Quotes




Praise for The Lake of Lost Girls

AMAZON EDITORS PICK FOR NOVEMBER BEST MYSTERIES, THRILLER AND SUSPENSE!
RECOMMENDED BY THE BOSTON GLOBE

"[The] structure generates plenty of tension."
--Publishers Weekly

"Highly reminiscent of many shocking classic horror films such as: Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, Freddie Francis's Paranoiac, and Francis Ford Coppola's Dementia 13. Greene has an awesome talent for creating disturbing, atmospheric thrillers centered around small towns and the mysterious murders that plague them."
--Gumshoe Review

"Propulsive and chilling . . . A sharp examination of sisterhood and the culture of true crime."
--Fresh Fiction

"A tense, psychological thriller, that starts off fast and never lets up."
--Red Carpet Crash

"The Lake of Lost Girls is a layered, gripping mystery that skillfully weaves together past and present, revealing just how much can happen in those moments when no one is watching."
--Kate Alice Marshall, USA Today bestselling author of What Lies in the Woods and No One Can Know

"Only at the end will you realize that you had all the keys to unlock the mystery, which will make you want to start again."
--Vannessa Cronin, Amazon Editor

Totally unexpected!

Well that was unexpected! This story had so many twisty sidelines that felt blatantly misleading, I really thought I knew where this story was going. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The Lake of Lost Girls really pulled me in. The dual points of view along with the transcript of an ongoing podcast kept me engaged from beginning to end. Each flip from one to the other was clearly defined. I have to admit that as a true crime junkie, the addition of the podcast and the survivor’s response to it gave me a different perspective than one I’d ever thought of before. I really enjoyed this book and found myself feeling a little on edge at times and had to remind myself it was just a book. The characters were all well developed and while I wasn’t a huge fan of most of them, I felt connected to those that mattered. Definitely one I’d recommend to anyone who could enjoy a fictional story written to give it the feel of a true crime drama.
