Over 100 Winners – It Happened on the Lake Contest
Enter for a chance to win signed thrillers, bookstore gift cards, and a full summer survival kit inspired by Lisa Jackson’s new release!
We only feature real, brand-sponsored giveaways.
What do you get when you mix a signed thriller, a suspiciously stylish beach tote, and a heavy dose of summer suspense? The It Happened on the Lake Contest, of course. Inspired by the latest pulse-pounding release from bestselling author Lisa Jackson, this literary-themed giveaway is bringing the drama—not just in plot twists, but in prizes.
With over 100 total winners and three separate chances to win, this is no one-and-done sweepstakes. Weekly book bundles, exclusive signed copies, and a grand prize Lake Survival Kit that might just help you survive your next vacation (or unravel the mystery of your neighbor’s strange behavior). With names like Lisa Jackson and Nancy Bush behind it, you know it’s going to be equal parts twisted and tantalizing.
If you’re ready to dip your toes into the dark waters of mystery fiction—and maybe float off with some serious loot—keep reading. Let’s break down the prizes, the deadlines, and everything else you need to know before diving into this lakeside literary thrill ride.
Prize Breakdown
This isn’t your average book giveaway. The It Happened on the Lake Contest is stacked with goodies, and they’re doled out in three waves: weekly winners, Lake Escape winners, and the coveted Grand Prize.
- Grand Prize (2 Winners – June 15, 2025)
Each Grand Prize winner receives a full Lake Survival Kit, including:- A Suspiciously Spacious Beach Tote (roomy enough to stash your beach reads and maybe a few secrets)
- A Too Shady for Suspicion Beach Hat (for maximum incognito vibes)
- Trendy Sunglasses (for spotting lake monsters or nosy neighbors)
- A Plush Beach Towel (dramatic lounging required)
- Inflatable Floaties (creepily relaxing)
- Sunscreen (stay safe while the plot thickens)
- Insulated Water Bottle (because hydration is key when you're solving crimes)
- Waterproof Phone Pouch (mysteries get wet)
- And of course, a signed copy of “It Happened on the Lake”
- Lake Escape Prize (5 Winners – June 9, 2025)
Each receives:- A $25 Barnes & Noble Gift Card
- A signed copy of “It Happened on the Lake”
- Weekly Book Prize (25 Winners per week)
From now until June 15, every week 25 readers will score a suspense duo:- Two random books by Lisa Jackson or Nancy Bush
Total Winners: At least 100 lucky readers will be chosen by the time this contest wraps.
What You Can Do with the Prize if You Win
Let’s be real: beach reads hit differently when you’re decked out in mysterious accessories, sipping from an insulated bottle, and wrapped in a plush towel like the main character in your own thriller.
If you snag one of the weekly wins, you’re all set for some moody, gripping page-turners—perfect for a solo reading binge or gifting to your mystery-obsessed BFF.
Score the Lake Escape Prize? That $25 Barnes & Noble gift card is practically begging to be spent on pre-orders, book club selections, or even a hardcover collector’s edition you’ve been eyeing. Add in a signed copy of It Happened on the Lake, and you’re basically part of Lisa Jackson’s inner circle.
But if you manage to land the Grand Prize Lake Survival Kit, your summer just got a major glow-up. Whether you’re heading to a real lake, a plastic kiddie pool in your backyard, or just lounging on your balcony pretending it’s the Hamptons, this kit turns you into the main character—complete with drama, fashion, and SPF.
Need a cute aesthetic for your bookstagram? Done. Hosting a girls' weekend with a mystery theme? You’ve got props. Or maybe you just want to vibe alone with your thriller and pretend you're the only one who knows what really happened on the lake. We support it.
