The Secret Lake whirls in with laugh-out-loud energy and whiplash plot turns. Expect midlife pivots to snowball fast, but the characters keep it grounded with real feelings and great pacing. On audio, Karen Inglis nails the rhythm—pauses, punchlines, and the little emotional turns that make the comedy land. Written by Karen Inglis, it’s built for folks who enjoy gentle chaos. Runtime is 2 hours and 34 minutes, so it’s easy to fit into a couple listens. Originally released June 29, 2019. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

Our Take

Editorial note: The Secret Lake leans sharp without feeling mean—cozy vibes keeps the laughs consistent while roommate wars raises the stakes. There’s a clear point of view, which makes the jokes land harder. It’s a strong showcase for Karen Inglis’s style.
