Into The Water

Into the Water by Paula Hawkins is a sharply plotted psychological thriller steeped in small-town secrets, grief and the stories people tell to survive. When Jules returns to the riverside town she escaped years ago, it’s meant to be temporary: her sister Nel is dead, and Jules must care for Nel’s teenage daughter. But the death doesn’t sit right, and the past Jules tried to bury is waiting in the old house and along the water’s edge.

As Jules starts asking questions, fractured memories and local loyalties collide. The town’s history feels close to the surface, and every account of what happened brings fresh doubt about who can be trusted.

Perfect for readers who love moody, twisty crime fiction, multi-voiced mysteries and thrillers with a feminist edge.
