Into the Water by Paula Hawkins
This one was a wild ride. Hawkins flips between multiple points of view, which kept me guessing and added some real tension. There were twists and turns the whole way through, and I never knew what was coming next.
That said… sometimes it felt a bit overcomplicated. I would have loved a more straightforward telling of events, but honestly, the suspense, the dark secrets, and the creepy river made it worth it. Entertaining, engaging, and perfect if you loved The Girl on the Train.
Publisher’s Synopsis:
The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Girl on the Train returns with a gripping novel of psychological suspense.
A single mother is found dead at the bottom of a river that has long held dark secrets. Earlier in the summer, a teenage girl also met the same fate. These deaths stir the history of the river and uncover secrets long submerged.
Left behind is a lonely fifteen-year-old girl, parentless and friendless, now in the care of her mother’s sister—a woman who had vowed never to return to this place.
With the same intense writing and insight into human instincts that captivated readers worldwide in The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins delivers a twisting, urgent, and deeply satisfying thriller that explores the deceptive nature of memory and emotion.
