Book Description:
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 fifteen-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 fromâa 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 read 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 surfaceâyou never know what lies beneath.
My Review:
I listened to this book on audio. I found it too confusing because the story is told with the point of view of at lest ten characters. It was hard to understand who was speaking at different times and who they were in relation to the story. Changing from person to different person upset the flow of the story. This book should have been edited better. This book cannot compare to The Girl on the Train. Paula is lucky getting 2 stars from me because I found this book to be one jumble of a mess. Don't waste your time on this one!
