Paid $18 for a 'classic' thriller with 400 pages and gave up on page 47

The book was called 'The Silent Reach' and the back cover promised a twist ending that would blow my mind, but the first 40 pages were just describing a guy staring at a lake. I realized I was forcing myself to keep reading out of spite and not enjoyment. Has anyone else bought a book based on hype and regretted it that fast?

Man, 47 pages of lake staring is a bold move for a thriller.
