Way too many character perspectives to keep track of. I have found many authors have gone to separate chapters for each character in the story in the past few years instead of just telling their stories and working in perspectives other…

This book kept my interest and kept me guessing from start to finish. There were a lot of characters but they were well developed and kept the story moving at a good pace.

I suppose it was the darkness of the story’s background that I struggled with, but I wasn’t a big fan of this book. It was pretty doom and gloom. It is about a river north of town that is labeled the “drowning pool” because of the number…

I've never read a book with so many perspectives. It kept me turning pages.

Alot of characters to follow, at times hard to remember who was who, but I really enjoyed this book. For me it was a page turner with lots of characters' secrets, mystery and suspense with a surprise ending I did not see coming.

I agree with the too many characters and hard to follow. The last few chapters tie things together so could've got there sooner. My big complaint is the bracelet. ,Such a big deal in the story, but the plot twist at the end didn't explain…

There's a lot of characters to keep up with and it can get fairly confusing to remember who is related to who. I expected better like The Girl on the Train.

Beware a calm surface- you never know what lies beneath. Reading Into The Water by Paula Hawkins intrigued me from the first few pages, capturing the reader with a hook. This book is exciting and suspenseful, with well-crafted twists and…

I liked Paula Hawkins first book, "The Girl on the Train" much better. This book was about a hundred pages too long. Its told from the perspective of multiple people.

A psychological thriller set in a small town in England. Four women have died mysteriously in the river which runs through the small town. Why and by whom?

JOANNE'S MYSTERY PICKS I’m not sure what those people who’ve put Hawkins’ latest book to the top of the bestsellers list for upwards of 7 weeks see in it. I found it to be confusing, convoluted, and at times even misleading. The story…

Plot. An apparent suicide exposes fractured relationships and town secrets.

Decent, but I think at this point I'm waiting for another one of these types of books to actually surprise and interest me

I rated this book 5*. I liked it a lot. Actually I thought the characters were much more diverse than The Girl on the Train. As a mature reader (senior), I enjoyed the age range and background of the characters. And the setting was…

I couldn't get into this book. I just didn't like it, finally gave up and returned it.

The book was a little disappointing. It went back and forth from first person to third person and in the beginning I had no idea who was talking about what. Lots of characters and not all that exciting. Predictable ending.

Too many characters, not nearly as much suspense as Girl in the Train

INTO THE WATER may not be everyone’s “cup of tea”, but I have to admit British author Paula Hawkins has a real talent for keeping the reader off-balance with her twisty-turny plots. Although I didn’t find this novel as engrossing as her…

Reminded me, somehow, Twin Peaks. Legends, urban myths and real life. There are unfinished moments of the plot.

Sometimes people have one really good novel in them. If that is true of Ms Hawkins, it would have been The Girl on the Train. Hopefully that is not the case and Into the Water just represents a misstep, with its author feeling too much…

I was a little disappointed by Paula Hawkins' second book "Into the Water". It had a lot of potential, and I kept on waiting for twists in the plot. Unfortunately, the storyline was pretty predictable. However, I will eagerly await for…

Better as a book on CD. Narrator did a good job of changing voices which made it easier to track the characters. Still had to back up a couple of times to catch the time shifts. Overall, an interesting story.

Yes there are many characters but I thought the plot was better developed than Girl on a Train. I liked reading this book and would recommend it for a quick holiday read.
