Alex Lake writes standalone psychological thrillers set in everyday domestic situations that take dark turns. The novels deal with missing children, stolen identities, and the suspicion that someone close to you is not who they seem. Lake is the pen name of a British author born in the North West of England who now lives in the United States.

Since these are all standalone novels, there is no required reading order. Each book introduces new characters and a fresh story. Readers looking for a starting point often pick After Anna, which was a number one ebook bestseller, or Seven Days, which is frequently cited as one of the author’s strongest books.

The table below lists all of Alex Lake’s standalone novels in the order they were published.
