U vodu

A single mother is found dead in the river that flows through the town. Earlier that summer, a sensitive teenager had suffered the same fate. The two are not the first women to die in those dark waters. But their deaths disturbed the river and its history and unearthed long-submerged secrets. The drowned woman was left with a lonely fifteen-year-old daughter. Without father and mother, and now without a single friend, she found herself in the care of her mother's sister, a stranger who scares her and who was dragged to the place from which she deliberately escaped. A place she swore she would never return to. Beware of the calm surface - you never know what lurks beneath it! With the same tense style and insightful understanding of human drives, with which she captivated millions of readers around the world with her debut The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins delivers a new, exciting, deeply intriguing read about the deceitfulness of feelings and memories, as well as the devastating impact of the past on the present. PAULA HAWKINS worked as a journalist for fifteen years before she tried her hand at writing novels. Born and raised in Zimbabwe, she moved to London in 1989 and has lived there ever since. Her first thriller, The Girl on the Train, became a huge global hit and sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide. Published in more than forty languages, it was a world bestseller and a box office hit starring Emily Blunt. In the water is her second crime novel.
