The Book of Knives Paperback - Lise Haines Thriller

The Book of Knives by Lise Haines is a gripping literary thriller. Nora arrives at her husband Paul's family summer camp, Hidden Lake Camp, and finds it far from picturesque: dilapidated docks, broken windows, crumbling cabins. Rather than the quick renovation Paul intends, the camp harbors mysteries that slowly unravel.

As Nora struggles to adapt to her new family, eerie events surface. At an uncomfortable dinner with her in-laws she is shown their prized collection of handmade knives, thirteen unique pieces, each with its own story. Then the knives begin to go missing one by one.

With the fourth and fifth knives gone, Nora is drawn into a web of chaos fueled by whispers of ghosts, secret chambers and a death connected to the camp. Each chapter uncovers secrets in the camp's history and among its inhabitants.

The novel moves past the mystery of the lost knives into psychological complexity and intricate family relationships, building to an unforeseen conclusion.

"Beautifully written and endlessly absorbing, this is a novel to read with the covers up around your chin and a candle burning." Sarah Taylor Stewart
