"The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller 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 fifteen-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 read 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"--… (mais)
the author drops you in Beckworth, a town of many secrets. There a tidal pool that has been the scene of many deaths- all female. The town is a close-knit community of people who think they know everything about their neighbors, but really don't know much of anything at all. Jules has come back to take care of her motherless niece, orphaned when her sister has killed herself in the very lake she loved. She has unresolved issues with her sister, her past comes rushing back to collide with the present. The book is told in alternating points of view, at some times both tiresome and confusing. Some of the voices were less enjoyable, but Lena's arc shined. It's s simmering slow build to multiple reveals, some surprising, others not at all. Either way, it is an entertaining bit of fiction. Not sure I will be picking up the next book might not this is a 3star read for me which isn't bad

We now know that memories are not fixed or frozen, like Proust's jars of preserves in a larder, but are transformed, disassembled, reassembled, and recategorized with every act of recollection. -Oliver Sacks, Hallucinations
