NetGalley Review: The Cottage by Lisa Stone

The Cottage by Lisa Stone


Publisher: Harper 360


Release Date: November 9th 2021


Rating:   ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆


I would personally summarize this novel as “some of the most one-dimensional characters in
the world slowly figure out an obvious mystery in a book that is about 15% too long.” That said,
the plot is compelling enough that you do want to find out how the mystery unravels and if it
really is as straightforward as you think (spoiler: it is AND it isn’t!).  Based loosely on some
real-life events, with a slight twist to the science of genetics, the story does explore some
interesting scenarios that might come along when unscrupulous actors capitalize on advances
in reproductive technology. While this wasn’t a five-star book for me, it was a compelling
mystery that kept me reading.
