Synopsis
When Caitlin moved from London to New York, she thought she had left her problems behind: her alcoholic father, her dead mother, the pressure to succeed. But now, down to her last dollar in a foreign city, she is desperately lonely. Then she meets Jake. Handsome, smart, slightly damaged Jake. He lives off-grid, in a lakeside commune whose members practise regular exercise and frequent group therapy. Before long, Caitlin has settled into her idyllic new home. It looks like she has found the fresh start she longed for. But, as the commune tightens its grip on her freedom and her sanity, Caitlin realizes too late that she might become lost forever...

Review
'A beautiful book, both inside and out - the hardback has gorgeous endpapers which perfectly reflect the setting of the story. I was immediately sucked into the writing, which is easy to read. With a languid pace, we are drip fed clues as to the origin of the group Caitlin becomes involved with and it is easy for the reader to sense that something is amiss' Nudge Book. 'It's compelling writing and a warning to anyone looking for an easy fix' Crime Review. 'An intelligently written, shocking and sinister thriller ... A compulsively readable spine-chiller and a cautionary tale rolled into one and readers who like their thrillers rich in tension, intrigue and suspense should add Emma Dibdin to their must-buy list' Bookish Jottings. 'A spectacular thriller. A haunting read. A huge, gigantic 5/5' Book Addict Rambles. 'Emma Dibdin hooked me from the beginning with her own style and flare, and I didn't come up for air until I had turned the last page ... A sinister, haunting, and warning tale ... I highly recommend it' Books of All Kinds. 'A smart and thought-provoking mystery' Once Upon a Page. 'Fast-paced, easy read filled with tension. A great debut' Go Buy the Book. 'A fascinating, intense psychological suspense novel that I highly recommend. It's one of those books that really gets under your skin and haunts your thoughts' Rather Too Fond of Books. 'The writing is fresh, and as the book opens, there is a real crackle and energy to it' TripFiction. 'A slow burn with a lot of psychological insight ... A solid read' Novel Gossip. 'Daughter of the late, great Michael Dibdin takes her literary talents in a different direction, with a debut slow-burning thriller' The Sunday Times Crime Club. 'A convincing picture of a damaged, traumatised individual' What Cathy Read Next. 'A brilliant psychological drama' Always Trust in Books. 'The cult-themed mystery The Room By the Lake, is first on my holiday reading list' Guy Lodge, Observer Summer Picks 2017.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. All she wanted was somewhere to belong. Caitlin never meant to stay so long. But it's strange how this place warps time. Out here, in the middle of nowhere, it's easy to forget about the world outside. It all happened so fast. She was lonely, broke, about to give up. Then she met Jake and he took her to his 'family': a close-knit community living by the lake. Each day she says she'll leave but each night she's back around their campfire. Staring into the flames. Reciting in chorus that she is nothing without them. But something inside her won't let go. A whisper that knows this isn't right. Knows there is danger lurking in that quiet room down by the lake. This is a brilliantly atmospheric psychological suspense novel for readers of Emma Cline's The Girls and The Roanoke Girls. Reviews for The Room by the Lake: 'A beautiful book.
