Il suffit souvent d'une étincelle pour raviver un feu mal éteint...
Qui, cette nuit-là, s'est faufilé sur sa péniche ? Qui a tué, et pour quelle raison, le jeune Daniel Sutherland ?
Sa tante Carla ? Miriam, la voisine qui a découvert le corps ? Laura, avec qui il a passé sa dernière nuit ? Elles ne se connaissent pas mais ont un point en commun : chacune a été victime d'une injustice qui a gâché sa vie. Chacune couve une colère qui ne demande qu'à exploser. Mais une seule a brûlé, au point de tout consumer.
Entre la banlieue où elle habite et Londres, Rachel prend le train deux fois par jour : à 8 h 04 le matin, à 17 h 56 le soir. Et chaque jour elle observe, lors d'un arrêt, une jolie maison en contrebas de la voie ferrée. Cette maison, elle la connaît par coeur, elle a même donné un nom à ses occupants : Jason et Jess. Un couple qu'elle imagine parfait. Heureux, comme Rachel et son mari ont pu l'être par le passé, avant qu'il ne la trompe, avant qu'il ne la quitte.
Jusqu'à ce matin où Rachel voit Jess dans son jardin avec un autre homme que Jason. La jeune femme aurait-elle une liaison ? Bouleversée de voir ainsi son couple modèle risquer de se désintégrer comme le sien, Rachel décide d'en savoir plus. Quelques jours plus tard, elle découvre avec stupeur la photo d'un visage désormais familier à la Une des journaux : Jess a mystérieusement disparu...
Pourrez-vous remonter à la surface ?
En froid avec sa soeur Nel depuis des années, Julia n'a pas voulu lui répondre lorsque celle-ci a tenté de la joindre. Une semaine plus tard, le corps de Nel est retrouvé dans la rivière qui traverse Beckford, la ville de leur enfance. Obligée d'y revenir, Julia est terrifiée. De quoi a-t-elle le plus peur ? D'affronter le prétendu suicide de sa soeur ? De s'occuper de Lena, sa nièce de quinze ans, qu'elle ne connaît pas ? Ou de faire face à un passé qu'elle a toujours fui ? Plus que tout encore, c'est peut-être la rivière qui la terrifie, ces eaux à la fois enchanteresses et mortelles, où, depuis toujours, les tragédies se succèdent...

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 . . .

She's even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. 'Jess and Jason', she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. If only Rachel could be that happy
