About this listen

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)

Wow

It takes some getting used to because of so many P.O.V's but I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend it.

great narration by all characters

number of characters are overwhelming only at first but the the way the chapters are titled it all adds up eventually and you will follow along just fine.

I actually had a hard time enjoying this book.

Hard to follow.

This story was hard to follow due to the number of characters. I did listen to it so it might have been easier if I had actually read it.

Confusing at first but worth it in the end

This book isn't like any audiobook I've listened to in the past. There were several narrators and, at times, the book was hard to follow.

Once I got the hang of it, the book was riveting and kept me interested until the very end. I wish there was a sequel because it was so interesting!

Missing something, Overal good read!

I struggled with the end. I loved the storyline up until then just felt like the twist needed a bit more. I loved the how the story was read though. Definitely a good read.

Confusing but Interesting

Very confusing at first but once I got all the characters straight it was a good story and a good twist at the end.

suspenseful until the end

I enjoyed this book. It left you guessing until the very end. At times the graphic sadness was almost to much but I enjoyed it overall.

Not as good overall as girl on the train.

The ending though, redeemed it quite well. Wasn't expecting that. Definitely worth your time to read/listen.

ok but not great

Struggled to get into this one. Felt like too many characters to follow and poor character development made it hard to like any of them.
