Dipping my toes into thriller/Mystery novels.
Gripping novel, I had my suspensions about who the killer was throughout the novel; never expected the killer was by the end of the novel. In the beginning of the novel it starts with a murder that possible connections to other murders in a small town. The last page, the last paragraph threw me through a loop before I could close the back cover. I read that page over a few times to make sure Paula Hawkins wrote that the way she did. I was addicted to this novel to the very end, couldn’t put it down. The story line and the setting is a bit cryptic but beautiful in the sense at the end it bring closure for the characters that didn’t start that way in the beginning. The Author Inspired a different style of writing, how each character moved throughout the novel. And the easy flow between each character’s head from past, present and future. Watching the similarities between Nel, Jules and Lena, the under connection besides being related grow in each chapter slowly. Life is short there will be always be his or her story then there is the truth of reality. People handle grief in differently ways and handle their life in different ways as well. Including with Patrick saw what he saw as a little boy effect his life, future and thoughts. People might not get to say what they want to say exactly to the ones they love before tragic things happen. And sometimes the people who leave us to soon cause more effect on us in a different way afterwards and sometimes creates a mess.
Into the water by Paula Hawkins
