The author of the number-one New York Times best seller and global phenomenon The Girl on the Train returns with Into the Water, her addictive new novel of psychological suspense.
A single mother turns up dead at the bottom of the river that runs through town. Earlier in the summer, a vulnerable teenage girl met the same fate. They are not the first women lost to these dark waters, but their deaths disturb the river and its history, dredging up secrets long submerged.
Left behind is a lonely 15-year-old girl. Parentless and friendless, she now finds herself in the care of her mother’s sister, a fearful stranger who has been dragged back to the place she deliberately ran from – a place to which she vowed she’d never return.
With the same propulsive writing and acute understanding of human instincts that captivated millions of readers around the world in her explosive debut thriller, The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins delivers an urgent, twisting, deeply satisfying listen that hinges on the deceptiveness of emotion and memory as well as the devastating ways that the past can reach a long arm into the present.
Beware a calm surface – you never know what lies beneath.
I read it all in one day, unable to put it down. A very complex plot, this book keeps you guessing until the very last page. The 2nd book I’ve read by Paula Hawkins, both were excellent.
Unputdownable! This book was fantastic! Yes, there are a lot of characters, and I do think it’s best to read a lot at the time. It’s easier to keep up with who’s who and how they are all connected. I could not put it down! The last sentence was a total OMG! Loved, Loved, Loved it!
This book was STUNNING. I absolutely, unequivocally recommend it!!! However, with that being said…. Throughout the entire duration of this book I went back and forth on what kind of review I was going to give it. In my first rendition of this review I chose three stars, because there is no button for “LOVED IT, but…” But I’ve been there before with raving three star reviews… People don’t like them. So four stars it is. So without further ado, I loved, LOVED this book. It was complex, confusing, entertaining, dark, mysterious, frustrating….and I devoured it. In fact, it so…
