The Woman in the Lake by Nicola Cornick is a puzzle you must read through the voices of two women in the past and the present day Fenella. I really enjoyed the plot twists with the beautiful golden gown which passed through different generations in rather mysterious ways. Fenella is dismayed to open a box from her sister and find the gorgeous golden gown which has haunted her life since the day she was compelled by an unusual force to steal it! Yes, Fenella has a little problem, she is a recovering kleptomaniac and never thought she would see this item again. Read the story as the interweaving timelines carry you between the Georgian society of greed, lust, deceit, and smugglers or the Moonrakers, into the present with Fenella dealing with an abusive husband she thought she had escaped and how to understand the beguiling and dangerous gown. Maybe there was too much going on within the tale. Sometimes the story got a bit entangled, but overall it is interesting to finally have all the loose ends tied together.
