This was a solid read. Some great characters and a Great plot. The atmosphere and background were what drew me in. There was good suspense and a fair amount of twists and turns. This lost a start for me some seriously implausible attitudes, (oh my cat is lost I will look later …repeat x 5 I would hope no real pet owner is so blasé about their missing pet)
Break ins…. Oh well I’ll sleep with a weapon and maybe report it later.
All the things that for most people would be urgent or important were brushed off until they had to be addressed and that bothered me.
But the story itself was great.

I enjoy Lisa Jackson's books. This book was a bit different from the typical books she writes. Lots of moving back between the 60’s and 80’s- which is always an interesting setting, I enjoyed that. BUT it's so unrealistic- Harper comes back to the house she grew up in, the house where tragedy has struck not once but THREE times. Now there are whispers, footsteps and weird dolls everywhere, bad cops, spy equipment, telescopes, etc, etc, etc. I finished it, but it wasn't my fave!
I appreciate the ARC and will be purchasing this book for our library when it's released.

WOW! Lisa Jackson is an amazing author who continually manages to crank out one page turner after another. The twists and turns kept me glued to the pages of this book; I read much later at night than I should have and went to sleep thinking about the plot .

The characterization was well done a nd the strange things that were happening in Harper's house made me feel concerned for her safety. I never expected the story to be wrapped up the way it was.

5 stars!

I spent so much time reading this book that I felt obligated to finish. It was good, but not really my cup of tea and seemed extremely long for what it was. I didn’t really get a “oh my gosh” ending that I was hoping for.

I was somewhat disappointed in how the story flowed. I am usually a fan of Lisa Jackson novels but this title did not capture my interest.

Lisa Jackson is a must read for me. I felt like this book was a bit different from her usual ones. Lots of moving back between the 60’s and 80’s. Harper comes back to the house she grew up in. The house where tragedy has struck not once but three times. Now there are whispers, footsteps and weird dolls everywhere. The ending was a surprise to me.

It Happened on the Lake by Lisa Jackson, published by Kensington Publishing is a complex, pageturning, literally unputdownable mystery/ thriller. Full of twists and unexpected turns, drama and intrigue, I couldn't put the book down. 5 stars.

Holy Lisa Jackson! As always she literally nailed the perfect novel and I’m left with my jaw on the floor. “It Happened on the Lake” has it all from multiple POVs, movement between timelines, and the nostalgia of the 60’s and 80’s with a slice of murder, mystery, and an inheritance covered in blood. I found myself as my own voyeur as I tried to solve the islands mystery’s and haunted by the story. Perfect for fans of Hitchcock and a must for book clubs! You’ll want to discuss and have to discuss.

Suspenseful and mysterious with lots of misdirection. I was surprised at the ending. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher.

It Happened on the Lake by Lisa Jackson was great from start to finish! I went in expecting a good mystery, but this book totally sucked me in with all the creepy vibes and small town secrets. The story follows Harper, who basically has the worst luck ever when it comes to her family and relationships. Her grandmother died under suspicious circumstances, her boyfriend disappeared without a trace, and now years later, she’s back in her eerie old Victorian house on Lake Twilight. Of course, as soon as she returns, all the old rumors and whispers come rushing back. The mystery itself kept me guessing, and while I had my suspicions, there were definitely a few surprises I didn’t see coming. If you like twisty thrillers with a touch of horror, this one’s for you. The suspense builds in such a way that you just have to know what happens next. Definitely worth the read!

This favorite, talented author has written a page turner. This book was difficult to put down. Characters, some likable, kept the story moving quickly. Red herrings kept me guessing. I can usually guess the ending, but this one took some insight. When I see Jackson’s name on a book, I grab it. She does not disappoint. Even the title is intriguing…on the lake…think about it…mysterious…thanks Netgalley

I loved this book. I felt so connected to all of the characters, and I did not really want the story to end!
