»Julia, ich bin’s. Du musst mich anrufen. Bitte, Julia. Es ist wichtig …« In den letzten Tagen vor ihrem Tod rief Nel Abbott ihre Schwester an. Julia nahm nicht ab, ignorierte den Hilferuf. Jetzt ist Nel tot. Sie sei gesprungen, heißt es. Julia kehrt nach Beckford zurück, um sich um ihre Nichte zu kümmern. Doch sie hat Angst. Angst vor diesem Ort, an den sie niemals zurückkehren wollte. Vor lang begrabenen Erinnerungen, vor dem alten Haus am Fluss, vor der Gewissheit, dass Nel niemals gesprungen wäre. Und am meisten fürchtet Julia das Wasser und den Ort, den sie Drowning Pool nennen...

3.5 star round upI think I like this better than the girl in the train.It was really slow at the beginning and it was so hard to actually get into the story but around halfway through the book it started getting really interesting. Also [a:Paula Hawkins 1063732 Paula Hawkins https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1492111911p2/1063732.jpg] delivered these little surprises/shockers here and there throughout the book which shocked me quite a bit. But like after the interesting parts it became sooo slow once again but I wanted to keep going to find out what the big mystery was at the end.But then the ending came and I was so disappointed like it was 400 pages and this?! I kinda saw the ending coming so I wasn't too surprised by it. Even though I didn't have high hopes in the beginning of the book I started getting high hopes around the middle after all those little twists and I was so disappointed! I seriously need to stop getting my expectations high for books coz I end up hating the book or not being satisfied.I forgot to mention this before but there were sooo many characters in the book to keep track of that I had to keep going to the front page where they had explained about the characters to keep track of who and who.So overall these are my thoughts on the book. I feel like those little twits kinda made up for the ending.. But I feel like if the ending had been different I would have given it a five star definitely!
