THIS DAY NEVER HAPPENED.
YOU HEAR ME?
By a frozen lake, ten-year-old Jesse waits for his father.
It's New Year's Day, and his dad promised a fresh start.
But Jesse messed it all up.
And that's when he meets the woman.
In the months ahead, the woman's sudden disappearance sets off a chain of events in Whale Bay, spanning out like fracture lines into the lives of her husband, the detective trying to solve her case, and of Jesse and his family - a young boy cracking like ice under the weight of a terrible secret. How A Woman Becomes a Lake is a chilling literary mystery that asks what happens when we are failed by the ones we love.

There was something rather wonderful about the writing in this book.
How it voiced so many things,the feeling that Leo is going to explode any minute,that Jesse hates himself and the most stand out voice, Vera.
As everyone wonders where she went,what happened,was it the husband?
The reveal was perfectly timed and in some ways it felt inevitable what happened,but then there was more.
An interesting read.
