LEMON CAKE

LEMON CAKE by Thomas De Tore is the kind of psychological thriller that really gets under your skin. It opens with an image that’s impossible to forget: a beautifully decorated lemon cake sitting on a kitchen counter, carefully prepared with a deadly secret hidden inside. From there, the story peels back the lives of the people connected to it. The suspense comes as much from the characters as it does from the mystery itself. The shifting perspectives keep one questioning everyone’s motives, while the ordinary details (a father and daughter constantly at odds, a quiet Airbnb, a simple dessert) make the darker moments feel even more unsettling.
