INTO THE WATER – PAULA HAWKINS
An addictive psychological thriller from the author of the global phenomenon ‘The Girl on the Train’, which was the No.1 bestseller in 2015 for 20 weeks and was adapted into the hit film of the same name starring Emily Blunt.
This new Hawkins tale centres around two main characters Nel and Jules. In the last days before her death, Nel calls her sister. Although Jules did not pick up the phone and now Nel is dead and everyone says she jumped? Now Jules has been dragged back to the one place she hoped she had escaped for good, to care for the teenage girl her sister left behind.
But Jules is afraid of her long-buried memories, knowing that Nel would never have jumped. And most of all she’s afraid of the water and the place they call the Drowning Pool.
With the same propulsive writing and acute understanding of human instincts that captivated millions of readers around the world in her debut thriller, Paula Hawkins delivers an urgent, satisfying read that hinges on the stories we tell about our pasts and their power to destroy the lives we live now.
The novel is already wowing critics. Paula Hawkins does it again! Into the Water is a moody and chilling thriller that will have you madly turning the pages. “A gripping, compulsive read!” Shari Lepena, bestselling author, said.
