This book... This audio! 👏👏
My first 5 ⭐ of 2023! 
Why didn't I read this one sooner!!

The Night Swim delivers two compelling and brutal sexual assault cases, twenty five years apart. The way these two stories flawlessly intertwine while still maintaining their own weight was a stand out for me. 

The mixed media components of this book made it a thrilling and unique experience. Between Rachel's investigation, her podcast chapters, Hannah's letters and chapters recalling the past, I was utterly invested and felt so many emotions reading (listening to) this. It is equally confronting as it is thought-provoking and will capture your breath until the very end. 

I own the physical copy of The Night Swim, however at the trusted advice of my dear friend @whiskersandwords__ and I listened to this on audio, which I HIGHLY recommend you do too.

Get ready crime podcast lovers, because there will be another Rachel Krall book coming later this year!
