Summary
A true-crime podcast host covering a controversial trial finds herself drawn deep into a small town's dark past and a brutal crime that took place there years before.
The new season of Rachel's podcast has brought her to a small town being torn apart by a devastating rape trial. A local golden boy, a swimmer destined for Olympic greatness, has been accused of raping the beloved granddaughter of the police chief. Under pressure to make season three a success, Rachel throws herself into her investigation - but then mysterious letters keep coming, surrounding the death of her sister 25 years ago. Officially, Jenny Stills tragically drowned, but the letters insist she was murdered - and when Rachel starts asking questions, nobody in town wants to answer. The past and present start to collide as Rachel uncovers startling connections between the two cases - and a revelation that will change the course of the trial and the lives of everyone involved.
Electrifying and propulsive, The Night Swim asks: what is the price of a reputation? Can a small town ever right the wrongs of its past? And what really happened to Jenny?

Compelling and thought provoking
First off if your considering reading this book at all audiobook is definitely the best format as there a short podcast segments scattered through with are really well done and work best when you listen to them.
This isn’t a edge of your seat thriller but a very dark story with some very hard to read but important topics. I highly recommend for anyone who enjoys true crime or reading about social issues.

Really enjoyed the story, so glad I listened to the audiobook. I did feel like it was a little over explanatory in some parts. But overall a great listen.

Deceived
Im on chapter 10 and I’m not interested in finishing this book rn. The reviews are very positive however this book is so slow, no suspense and the author is too fixated on describing the setting than the characters. Additionally, I just didn’t like how it’s in third person.
