The Night Swim by Megan Goldin My rating: 5 of 5 stars Riveting. If I could only describe this book in one word, that would be it. From beginning to end.

Rachel Krall is a true-crime podcast host covering a controversial rape trial that has divided the small town and she also finds herself drawn to an old crime that took place there years ago. Mostly recognized for her voice, she finds it disturbing when she finds a note addressed to her on her car windshield. And that's all I can say because I don't want to spoil anything.
