I'm halfway through Into The Water, the second novel by Paula Hawkins who wrote the majorly popular The Girl On The Train. The premise is the "difficult women" who have drowned in the river running beside a small English town over the last couple hundred years; now two women recently have drowned, one a suicide and then the next perhaps a murder. The story is intruiging and the writing is excellent but stylistically it's a bit tiring: every chapter is one of the ten characters' inner thoughts and point of view that may clash with another's, and I have to keep thinking, who's this person, how do they relate? Overall very good though, and I haven't yet figured out "who dunnit" or even if anything actually was "dun".
