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 . . .

Critic 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.

Too many characters in a story that makes difficult to remember them as we go on listening. Struggled to remain engaged with story till 3/4th of the story gets over. Almost come to know most of the characters in last few chapters. Climax is good and had twist. But I like her "Girl on the train" more than this

Not good than Girl on the train

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
There were moments of thrill and intrigue but as it headed to the end it became obvious and flat. When I then think of all the characters and lines I had to follow, it even leaves as slight disappointment at the end. The other book was definitely better.

Good performance but a long winded story

Good book overall. Loved the way it was read, very engaging. One advice is to not read it before sleeping unless you wanna have very strange dreams. xD

Great story telling and a good book too

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story is long drawn out. Complicated and switching back between many time periods. Too many characters, and plots and subplots. Not impossible to follow but a bit strenuous.
The narration is excellent.

Convoluted story line

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
After reading The Girl on the Train. I had high hopes for it. But I am disappointed.

Not worth it!
