Random House presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Into the Water by Paula Hawkins, read by Imogen Church, Sophie Aldred, Daniel Weyman, Rachel Bavidge and Laura Aikman.

The addictive new psychological thriller from the author of The Girl on the Train, the runaway Sunday Times No. 1 bestseller and global phenomenon.

In the last days before her death, Nel called her sister. Jules didn’t pick up the phone, ignoring her plea for help.

Now Nel is dead. They say she jumped. And Jules has been dragged back to the one place she hoped she had escaped for good, to care for the teenage girl her sister left behind.

But Jules is afraid. So afraid. Of her long-buried memories, of the old Mill House, of knowing that Nel would never have jumped.

And most of all she’s afraid of the water, and the place they call the Drowning Pool . . .

Reviews

Paula Hawkins does it again! Into the Water is a moody and chilling thriller that will have you madly turning the pages. A gripping, compulsive read!
Wondering if Into the Water could be as good as The Girl on the Train? It's better. A triumph.
Fans of Paula Hawkins’ The Girl on the Train rejoice: her second novel Into the Water is even better. A brilliantly plotted and fast-paced juggernaut of a read that hurtles to a heart-stopping conclusion.
It’s like PD James wrote an episode of The Wire… A twisting whodunit that leaves you both gratified and surprised (also the best kind)… Not just a brilliant thriller but also a furious feminist howl…
The prose is powerful and richly descriptive. As the threads of the plot mesh together and the tension builds it develops into a brooding and complex read that deserves to make a splash in its own right.
A radical and addictive thriller.
Into the Water is very different [to The Girl on the Train] – expect beautiful descriptions and deeper layers – but you’ll still want to race to the end to find out what happens.
Paula Hawkins effortlessly follows the success of The Girl on the Train with this immersive novel . . . Told from multiple points of view this is clever and twisty fiction with a ghostly edge.
Once you start, you won't be able to put this one down . . . With the same delicious mystery that lingers throughout The Girl on the Train (not to mention the jaw-dropping ending), Look read it every spare second.
The breathtaking follow-up to The Girl on the Train with author Paula Hawkins at her best . . . confident, ambitious and intriguing.

Interesting to the last

Although very dark, the story kept me captivated and guessing unroll the end. Well worth listening to.

Captivating

Even if I liked the girl on the train a lot, I could not get easily into the book "Into the water". I needed a long time to sort out who is who, wenn happened what etc. and had to listen to the some parts or chapters again. Good story but quite complicated and a bit tiring.Anyway a great performance though, may be I should listen to again.

Heavy, difficult to enjoy

Utter rubbish, I have no idea why I listened to the end - just hoped it might get better And some of the narrators are totally over the top, really annoying.

Rubbish

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
With three hours left to go everything has been revealed, and the narration by far too many narrators (each with their own voices and accents for each of the far, far too many characters) just gets more and more melodramatic.
Too many points of view (there are at least 7...) and a dull reveal that takes way too long to play out after. Struggled to finish, put it up to 1.5x speed to get it over with.

Poor effort made worse by melodramatic narration
