Paula Hawkins
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.

Critic reviews
“A captivating contemporary whodunit...suspense churns and the plot keeps you guessing.” (People Magazine)
“Highly suspenseful...all these intrigues are teased out with impressive skill by Ms. Hawkins, who tells a complex narrative...in a chronicle whose final pages yield startling revelations." (The Wall Street Journal)
"[A] succulent new mystery.... Hawkins, influenced by Hitchcock, has a cinematic eye and an ear for eerie, evocative language.... So do dive in. The payoff is a socko ending. And a noirish beach read that might make you think twice about dipping a toe in those dark, chilly waters.” (USA Today)

I found this book to be somewhat interesting. I came away feeling like I wish there had been more of a supernatural angle. I also felt that there were too many points of view, and though each reader was a separate person, I still had some confusion trying to figure out whose point of view I was listening to. Also by 3/4 of the way through the book I didn't care what happened anymore. So I was disappointed in that. I did finish the book to the end and the ending was good, but getting there was somewhat tedious. I understand that it's hard to follow up a book that is a big hit with something successful, and I will continue to purchase and read Paula Hawkins in the future.
Not compelling enough.

loved that the end was a surprise

But the multiple narration was frustrating and I can't say I understand the point of it. Why didn't the author just use 2 or 3 points of view? There were so many characters to keep up with and the narration was mixed with first person and third person. It was just too complicated. At the 3 and 5 hour marks I would still be thinking, "Wait... who is this narrator again? What's their relationship to the story?" Really frustrating and not a good thing at all.
I like Paula Hawkins and I'll still listen to future books by her. Not every novel can be a winner.
The other reviewers make good points...
