Amy 
mystery
Into the Water was completely different from The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins' previous bestselling novel, and not as good. It had its intrigues and also had a fantastic setting to create a mood that was perfect for this scary story. Several mysterious deaths had occurred in the local river, presumably suicides. The latest one was being investigated and the novel, told from multiple points of view (too many, really--I had to write them down to keep track of who they were), revealed several potential motives and murderers of the latest victim. The question was, did any of them do it and why?
The characters were all shady, troubled, and guilty of something. The town seemed dark and creepy. And the story kept me interested. I just didn’t feel that it was as creatively crafted and as gripping as Paula Hawkins’ first novel.
