The Night Swim - Megan Goldin
She read
Publication Date: Aug. 4, 2020
While Rachel is covering the trial of a local athlete accused of rape for her true crime podcast, she receives a series of letters from Hannah, a young woman urging her to investigate her sister’s death in this same town twenty five years ago.
The dual stories unfold from two points of view, Rachel’s and Hannah’s, and we are treated to both a courtroom procedural, mystery, and psychological thriller. There was sympathetic insight into the heartbreak rape victims and their families suffer both in our society and as a result of the judicial system.
This was an engrossing, didn’t want to put down read. Rachel is a strong, savvy character; I hope this will be the beginning of a series.
I liked this so much better than Goldin’s prior novel, The Escape Room.
