Story
When a young man is found gruesomely murdered in a London houseboat, it triggers questions about three women who knew him. Laura is the troubled one-night-stand last seen in the victim’s home. Carla is his grief-stricken aunt, already mourning the recent death of yet another family member. And Miriam is the nosy neighbor clearly keeping secrets from the police. Three women with separate connections to the victim. Three women who are – for different reasons – simmering with resentment. Who are, whether they know it or not, burning to right the wrongs done to them.

Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: She must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful 13-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims - a bit too strongly.

Jess needs a fresh start. She’s broke and alone, and she’s just left her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half brother, Ben, didn’t sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn’t say no, and surely everything will look better from Paris. Only when she shows up - to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? - he’s not there. The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother’s situation, and the more questions she has.

When you listen to this audiobook, you will make many assumptions. You will assume you are listening to a story about a jealous ex-wife. You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement - a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love. You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle. Assume nothing. Twisted and deliciously chilling, The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Publisher's Summary
The author of the number-one New York Times best seller and global phenomenon The Girl on the Train returns with Into the Water, her addictive new novel of psychological suspense.
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 15-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 listen 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.
Critic Reviews
“A captivating contemporary whodunit...suspense churns and the plot keeps you guessing.” (People Magazine)
“Highly suspenseful...all these intrigues are teased out with impressive skill by Ms. Hawkins, who tells a complex narrative...in a chronicle whose final pages yield startling revelations." (The Wall Street Journal)
"[A] succulent new mystery.... Hawkins, influenced by Hitchcock, has a cinematic eye and an ear for eerie, evocative language.... So do dive in. The payoff is a socko ending. And a noirish beach read that might make you think twice about dipping a toe in those dark, chilly waters.” (USA Today)

Fantastic book! Don't be put off .
This book has been sitting on my wish list for ages. I'm a bit annoyed at myself for not getting it sooner but I was put off by the reviews I had read saying it was complicated with lots characters. Anyway I had recently listened to "We are Bob" and figured if I could keep all the "Bobs " in that book straight this would be no problem and it wasn't at all . The narrators did a fine job and the story was gripping and complex which I like. The story is told by each main character from their perspective but each narrator announces the character at the start of the passage they are narrating so there is no confusion and the story flows very easily . It was an excellent follow up to "Girl on a Train" . I feel sorry that this book had got such poor reviews on Audible and may have put others of reading it . My recommendation is to definitely try it .

Deliciously complex.
Paula Hawkins set the bar high for herself with her debut novel, ”There Girl on the Train." With "Into the Water" she has cleared that bar with feet to spare.
"Into the Water" is not an audiobook to be listened to casually, while doing something else, but it hugely rewards the reader who pays attention and grows familiar with its myriad narrative voices, only some of which are reliable.

Ignore all of these reviews.
The reviews almost ruined this book for me. I never usually read reviews but I somehow made it onto the reviews page and ended up reading some. 'Too many characters' 'too hard to follow' etc. it was a great book. I did need to focus a little more than most books because there is a lot of characters and every part is important, but it was a very good story. Very well composed. I loved it!

Don't Hold Your Breath
I got a bad feeling during my first few minutes into this book, about the time the umpteenth character was being introduced, realizing that I'd lost complete track of the *whos* and *whats.* You know the feeling; you're listening along and feel like you're suddenly in a crowd of unfamiliar faces, wondering how you got wherever you are. I started over, committing a little more attention. It didn't help and that sinking feeling came over me again. But, "this was the author of The Girl on the Train! Paula Hawkins! An author compared to Gillian Flynn and Megan Abbott!" I trudged on until I felt like one of the characters in the book...I wanted to walk into that water until it flooded over my head and drowned out the words that were going into my ears. What a relief *blub blub blub* would be compared to this bloated, insufficiently complicated plotline that seemed to be choking under its own tangle of contrivance and banality.
Into the Water lacked a believable psychological premise, and crumbled under the weight of its own implausibility. The back and forth chronology was enough to give you motion sickness; the myriad of unlikeable characters either unnecessary and poorly drawn, or interjected; the plot buried under a congestion of side ramblings that carried you further away from resolution. A combination of too many innocuous storylines, too many ambiguous characters unraveled into a tangled knot that prevented a focused forward projection or mental connection. Hawkins showed none of the taut pacing that made TGOTT a psychological thriller. Everything about Into the Water feels awkward and sadly, absurd. I would love to give examples to back up my opinion, but won't spoil those elements.
I feel bad for Hawkins, an author so *in the spotlight* from her previous blockbuster; surprised that a savvy editor wouldn't point out the structural problems because this is truly one of the most poorly structured novels I've read. One review I came across stated the story dragged, but Hawkins threw in a surprise switch-up ending...that may be some reader's opinion, not mine. Novels should be polished versions of a first draft where every chapter is significant. I never want to spend hours and pages (that feel like a work in progress) for one chapter of good story telling. To me, this book had that lack of quality you look for and expect from a seasoned writer.

Is it over yet??
I found myself constantly checking how long was left til the end of this book. Because the story was told from so many perspectives I never got to know the main characters, and it was difficult to empathize with any of them. Instead of feeling compassion for their grief, I got sick of listening to them whine and feel sorry for themselves!

Stick with it!
As many others have pointed out, the first hour or so of the book can be a little confusing: many characters, many story lines and not always easy to differentiate between voices. However, given that I had read that from other reviewers I made a point to really focus and pay close attention and it paid off. I became familiar with the voices, characters and their relationship to one another and enjoyed the story. I do agree that at times the story seemed to drag on more than needed, but the suspense and the action really made up for it. The narrators were excellent and I never had that feeling of awkwardness that comes with overacting some audio books have.
Overall, I enjoyed this experience and recommend it to others who enjoy suspense and using your brain to follow and sort out who did what.

Riveting and Beautifully Acted
Where does Into the Water rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I listen to a lot of audiobooks and I would rank this in the top 10%.
What other book might you compare Into the Water to and why?
I suppose it's somewhat similar to Girl on the Train in some respects. The story is told from multiple perspectives with different readers, and there are some twists.
Which scene was your favorite?
I didn't have a favorite scene. There is nothing about this book that is "feel-good". Nothing funny, nothing genuinely romantic.
Any additional comments?
The readers are exceptional - it's acted rather than read. And a big THANK YOU to the editors for using readers who can do a Newcastle/Northumberland accent.

Too much going on with too many characters
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I really don't know. On the one hand, there's a lot about the book that draws you in. There's the history of the drowning pool that stretches back to witch persecution days, then there are the modern-day deaths that are either suicides or murders that have been covered up, too.Yet, the book has too much going on with too many characters. It's hard to keep everything and everyone straight. The book was just too "busy" for me. Simplify!
Would you recommend Into the Water to your friends? Why or why not?
Didn't I just answer this question?
Which scene was your favorite?
I don't think I had one.
Do you think Into the Water needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, it doesn't need a sequel because the last 45 minutes tidies everything up. It might need a prequel that goes back to the time of the witches.
Any additional comments?
It's a mixed bag. There's good and bad. A lot of people loved the author's first book, Girl on the Train, but I didn't. I think this book may have been a little better, but not by much.

Let Down
I'm glad I listened - I guess. Kept my interest and was hard to put down. I agree there were too many characters to keep track of, especially as an audio. I was so confused at the beginning, I started over three times. Very odd storyline and I really didn't care for anyone. I just finished it and I don't feel anything but let down.
