Officially, Jenny Stills tragically drowned, but the letters insist she was murdered―and when Rachel starts asking questions, nobody in town wants to answer. Someone is following her, and she won’t stop until Rachel finds out what happened to her sister twenty-five years ago.

Under pressure to make Season 3 a success, Rachel throws herself into her investigation―but the mysterious letters keep coming. A local golden boy, a swimmer destined for Olympic greatness, has been accused of raping the beloved granddaughter of the police chief. The new season of Rachel’s podcast has brought her to a small town being torn apart by a devastating rape trial. Which makes it all the more unsettling when she finds a note on her car windshield, addressed to her, begging for help. But she’s used to being recognized for her voice, not her face. The synopsisĮver since her true-crime podcast became an overnight sensation and set an innocent man free, Rachel Krall has become a household name―and the last hope for people seeking justice. FYI, strong trigger warnings and graphic content. But it’s intense and very hard to read at times. I enjoyed the true crime podcast aspect as this is actually more of a crime book rather than just straight up thriller. So when it was time to make a selection for my August Book of the Month, I went with The Night Swim. And I really enjoyed her previous novel The Escape Room. I’ve seen a ton of positive reviews for The Night Swim by Megan Goldin. This summer I’ve primarily read contemporary fiction stories.
