The Night Swim by Megan Goldin
5.0

I deduced the ending, but it was well crafted and subtle. I'm a fan of mysteries where there are actual clues to the perpetrator's identity. And this was easily one of those.

I read this book in 3 hours, barely stopping to eat. It was that engrossing. The balancing between the reality, Hannah's letters, and the podcast was perfect for the pacing. I've never listened to true crime podcasts before, but this depiction made me want to start.

All in all, this book was a great read and I'm happy I got to read it all in one sitting. Also I'll be staying away from the water for the foreseeable future.
