Deliciously dark and creepy mystery featuring a true crime podcast–a brutal cold case, and so much more.
~WEEKEND READING SPOTLIGHT| ALWAYS WITH A BOOK~
Last summer, Megan Goldin’s explosive debut thriller, THE ESCAPE ROOM was called ‘addictive’ by Time Magazine; Louise Penny called it, “Simply revienting” and Harlan Coben said, “Gripping and unforgettable.” This August, Goldin is back with her brilliant follow-up, THE NIGHT SWIM (St. Martin’s Press, August 4th).
Quick Take: Twenty years ago, a young woman was assaulted and found dead. Her terrified sister never revealed what she witnessed that night. Today, in the same town, another woman is brutally attached and the town’s golden boy is accused.
Rachel Krall is covering the trail for her hit podcast, “Guilty or Not Guilty,” which became an overnight sensation making Rachel a household name.
Officially, Jenny Stills tragically drowned all those years ago. But letters that are resurfacing suggest she was murdered–and when Rachel starts asking questions, no one wants to answer. Past and present start to collide as Rachel begins to uncover connections between the two case that will change the course of the trial and the lives of everyone involved.
Electrifying and propulsive, THE NIGHT SWIM explores the price of reputation and the the town’s reckoning with the horrors of its past.

Readers who enjoy Lisa Scottoline‘s work will enjoy THE NIGHT SWIM, but I also found some similarities between this book and THE SUNDOWN MOTEL (Simone St. James) meets Gilly Macmillian’s I KNOW YOU KNOW (especially with the podcast connection), Wendy Walker’s EMMA IN THE NIGHT, and Heather Gudenkauf’s work, especially BEFORE SHE WAS FOUND.
