About this item
The #1 New York Times-bestselling author Paula Hawkins returns with Into the Water, her addictive new novel of psychological suspense about the slipperiness of the truth and a family drowning in secrets. Beware a calm surface: you never know what lies beneath. With the same propulsion that captivated millions of readers worldwide in her debut thriller The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins unfurls a gripping, twisting, layered story, set in a small riverside town. When a single mother and a teenage girl each turn up dead at the bottom of the river, just weeks apart, the ensuing investigation dredges up a complicated history. Like The Girl on the Train, Hawkins's new novel Into the Water hinges on a powerful understanding of human instincts and the damage they can inflict.
