I recently read “The House Across the Lake” by Riley Sager. I’m not sure why I picked it, except that it felt like it might fit the “Woman in the Window” vibe.
Book was totally normal and built decent enough suspense around the disappearance of the model wife in the house across the lake. Obviously the tech husband is suspected because violence had been witnessed by the recent widow. She had turned to drink after her husband was found to have drowned while fishing on that lake.
Spoiler: the lake consumed the soul of the drown husband after the drunk widow figured out he was a serial killer and killed him making it look like a fishing accident. The serial killer husband’s soul then entered the body of the model wife as she swam across the lake one day and nearly drowned. Technically she did drown which allowed for the soul swap. Drunk widow has to redrown the model wife in order to swap the souls back.
