At Yellow Lake by Jane McLoughlin

At Yellow Lake
by Jane McLoughlin


A good suspense thriller which peters out and disappoints slightly at the end.

Etta, Jonah and Peter are all brought together at Yellow Lake cabin via various means and ways. Etta has been kidnapped by her mum's drug-dealing boyfriend. She escapes from the car after nearly colliding with Peter, a British boy who's hitchhiking to Yellow Lake to bury a lock of his mother's hair who has died from cancer, and who actually owned the cabin he's headed for. They come across Jonah, a young lad who's trying to 'find' his Red Indian heritage, and who has built himself a wigwam, forages for food and for healing plants, dresses in a loin cloth, and prays to his American Indian predecessors. He is camping out in woods next to the cabin. The three find themselves barricaded in the cabin, with murderous drug dealers trying to get in. Will they get out alive?
