Dizz Tate: Books That Made Me Want to Write: Dizz Tate’s Bookshelf for Brutes (0 comment)
When I was writing my book, Brutes, there came a point where I wanted to be thinking about it even when I was so tired of it I couldn’t bear to look at it anymore. I was also terrified of leaving it alone, like the book would forget me if I stopped reminding it I was there...

Powell's Picks of the Month

Hot new releases and under-the-radar gems for adults and kids.


Staff Pick

A spooky, watery gem of a thriller, told from multiple points of view.  After her sister’s unexpected death, Jules reluctantly returns to the village where she grew up to care for her niece. Was her sister’s death an accident? Suicide? Paula Hawkins brings us another rich, darkly atmospheric tale that twists and turns in a most satisfying manner. Recommended By Mary Jo S., Powells.com

Publisher Comments

The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller and global phenomenon The Girl on the Train returns with Into the Water, her addictive new novel of psychological suspense.

"Hawkins is at the forefront of a group of female authors – think Gillian Flynn and Megan Abbott – who have reinvigorated the literary suspense novel by tapping a rich vein of psychological menace and social unease… there’s a certain solace to a dark escape, in the promise of submerged truths coming to light." – Vogue

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 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 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 surface — you never know what lies beneath.

Review

"Hawkins is a master of waging emotional warfare among her characters against a backdrop of murder. Into the Water is one to read with the lights on." SF Weekly

Review

"Dark, spellbinding…Hawkins keeps readers guessing while exploring the overt and subtle ways trauma, grief and long-buried secrets can affect minds, hearts and motivations." Shelf Awareness

Review

"Hawkins returns to the rotating-narration style of her breakout debut, giving voice to an even broader cast this time….Order by the ton." Booklist (Starred Review)

Review

"Hawkins keeps you guessing until the final page." Real Simple

Review

"Addicting… this novel has a little something for anyone looking for their next binge-read." Marie Claire

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER FOR MYSTERY/THRILLER

An addictive new novel of psychological suspense from the author of #1 New York Times bestseller and global phenomenon The Girl on the Train

Though Paula Hawkins' Girl on the Train was on the Bestseller List for weeks I did not enjoy reading it. "Into the Water," however was much more to my liking. I could really get "into" the characters and their relationship with the 'Drowning Pool." Nel, Lena, Jules, all spoke to me as did the other characters such as Katie, Louise, and Josh and the Townsends, (Patrick, Sean, and Helen.) The mystery behind several deaths all involving the drowning pool was well thought out and well sketched. An interesting book well worth a read. If you loved "The Girl on The Train," I need hardly recommend this book you're going to read it. If you didn't like it I urge you to give Hawkins another chance and read this book.

INTO THE WATER is complex the way the best thrillers are. Various mysteries are going on, all interrelated, resulting in a smooth storyline. * Why does Jules hate her sister Nel? * Did Nel commit suicide or was she murdered? * Are Nickie’s accounts of murder reliable or is she just a nut? * Why did Katie, a 15-year-old girl who seemed to have everything going for her, commit a most unlikely suicide? * Are Nel’s stories of all the women throughout history who have jumped or been thrown into the river fact or fiction? * Why does Patrick maintain the cottage by the river? What went on at this site? * What is Lena hiding that might give more insight to the reason Katie would commit suicide? * Why does Helen have Nel’s bracelet? Does this mean she murdered Nel? * And why has the river that runs through Beckford been the scene of the suicides or murders of so many women there? Why is it alluring? These are only some of the mysteries going on in this book. This complexity is good. But don’t expect INTO THE WATER to be like Paula Hawkins’ other novel, THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN. They’re not alike at all. That is not only in storyline. While I criticized THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN, I also admitted that it is unputdownable at times. INTO THE WATER isn’t, ever. Partly that is because most chapters of INTO THE WATER are first-person, some third-person, accounts, each by one of the characters in the story. While the book thus moves along, you may find, as I did, that this becomes an exercise in memorization. There are so many characters, each with his or her own viewpoint and mysteries, that I spent most of the book trying to keep them all straight and remember who did and said what. Many times I had to page back to previous chapters to remind myself. INTO THE WATER is a good try. But, probably, readers who liked THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN will be disappointed in INTO THE WATER
