The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager

A woman who has recently lost her husband spends some time in the house by the lake where he drowned. That's obviously not a good idea but she tries to survive the day by drinking as much as possible and looking at the house across the lake. The new neighbours seem to be an attractive couple but strange things start happening and she decides to investigate.
This is not my first book by Riley Sager but it's my favourite one so far despite the paranormal twist which almost made me DNF it because I was too scared to continue reading.

I recommend this novel to fans of mystery books and to those who are not spooked easily.

Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister

Wouldn't you like to be able to travel back in time? Perhaps to make better choices or change your life's course completely. Jen witnesses her son commit murder and for reasons she cannot comprehend starts travelling back in time. Why on earth would her nerdy son kill a person? Isn't her family a perfect one?

To tell the truth, the book sometimes seems a bit long, and some chapters make very little sense at the beginning. However, keep on reading because all the chapters hide a clue. There are lots of surprises in this book that I didn't see coming and it all made sense in the end.

The idea of being able to go back in time has always appealed to me and I have read numerous books on this topic. This novel by Gillian McAllister didn't disappoint me. I recommend it to fans of domestic mysteries who don't mind a little bit of science fiction.
