Into The Water by Paula Hawkins
Beckford, UK a place with many, many deaths relating to their river. Starting back in the ages of witchcraft and misunderstanding...
Like the movement of a river, this books takes twists, turns and definitely has it's depths of danger and intrigue. Below is a little introduction of some of the characters in the story and I don't think any spoilers. I hope you enjoy this review and intro. 😁
I read Girl on the Train and thoroughly enjoyed it. When I found out, through Booksparks, that Paula Hawkins had written the book Into the Water I knew I had to read it! I really liked the character development from the very start of the story. I liked that we were able to meet each person in their own words in their own time. I thought I knew what was happening and who "did the murders, but I was WRONG. Yes, I admit it, I guessed wrong! That is the sign of a good writer in my opinion.
Jules Abbott, hasn't talked to her sister Nel for a very long time and now she will never be able to talk to her again. Nel died falling off a cliff at the infamous river's Drowning Pool, the one place that she swam in every day since she was a child. Jules didn't think that Nel would commit suicide, but what did she know? She didn't know who Nel was as an adult, did she? Now, Jules is going home to Beckford to take care of details of Nel's funeral and become Nel's daughter, Lena's guardian.
Lena's best friend Katie, died a few months before her mother, also committing suicide. Now she really had no one except for Jules. Lena doesn't know know her aunt, actually she hates her, because she never answered her mother's calls, never spent any time with her mother or her, and still, the nerve of her! She thought she could just come and take over, go through her mother's things and insert herself into Lena's life, like she had been around since Lena was little. Who did Jules think she was?
Detective Inspector Sean Townsend and Detective Sergeant Erin Morgan, are trying to get to the bottom of the mystery of why so many woman have died around the Beckford river. will they find answers? Sean's mother herself committed suicide in the river. He has zoned it all out of his mind just like his father told him to, so why does he feel as if everything is all wrapped up together in a tight little package?
Have you ever read a book that you just didn't know how it was going to end? That is that book! Did she or didn't she? Did he or didn't he? Only one in town knew all the secrets and no one, not a single person, but partly Nel listened to her. IS that why Nel died? Well, you won't find out until you read Into the Water! 😉
Q: Have you read Into the Water yourself? What did you think?
If you are local and would like to read it, I have a copy you can borrow. Just let me know.
