Into the Water, Paula Hawkins

'When I was 17, I saved my sister from drowning.'

The drowning pool in Jules' home town has claimed many troublesome women over the years some suicides, some, not. Jules escaped south to London soon after her mother died. Her sister, Nel stayed and now Nel is dead; found floating, broken in the drowning pool. The local police begin poking around and as Jules reluctantly returns to her childhood home she finds Nel's death mourned by some and celebrated by others. Nel, an award winning photographer was researching a book on the macabre history of the town and its river, could that have prompted someone to kill her?

Jules' memories of growing up in this small town are about to suffer a jolt especially when Lena, Nel's teenage daughter goes missing.
