An old café by the lake. A box full of letters that were never sent. And a village that has kept its silence for thirty years.
When Mara Lenz inherits her late mother’s lakeside café on the Falkensee, she wants only one thing: to hand over the key, sell up, and never return to the place she fled at sixteen.
But behind a crumbling wall she finds a tin box full of old letters. Not one was ever posted. Every one was written by a woman who vanished from Falkensee thirty years ago — and of whom, to this day, no one in the village will speak.
The longer Mara stays, the more clearly she senses it: the silence around the lake is not forgetfulness. It is a decision.
An atmospheric cosy mystery of family secrets, unsent letters, and how dangerous the truth can still be after thirty years. The opening of the series “The Lake House Secrets”.
