Harrow Lake is suspenseful and fast-paced from
the start, making it almost impossible to stop reading. The longer Lola stays in
the town, the stranger the story becomes, until the reader is questioning not
just Lola’s sanity, but their own. Dark, chilling and thoroughly entertaining,
Harrow Lake is a perfect read for fans of thrillers and intrigue. A sneakily
tangled and embroidered narrative flits between the real and the unreal in a
nightmarish rhythm that’s as mesmerizing as it is impressive. Ellis has created
a young adult novel that lacks the melodrama of the genre, instead presenting a
protagonist who is mature and sophisticated, adding to the gravitas of her
situation and inexplicable events in which Lola finds herself. If you like intrigue,
you’ll love this book – it’s one hell of an adventure from start to finish, and
I’ve no doubt it’ll be eyed for a film adaptation.
