I thoroughly enjoyed this second novel by the author of The Girl on the Train (bwl 82). Inevitably the two books will be compared but this one is not so much a suspenseful thriller but rather an analysis of a small town's history, exploring witchcraft, suicide and murder, perpetuating ongoing uncertainty surrounding the latest mysterious death in The Drowing Pool - the mystery is further confused by the multiple perspectives of the narrative, causing difficuly in trusting any of the characters.
