The Night Swim by Megan Goldin ~ a Review & Excerpt

by MK French

Rachel Krall elected to follow a rape trial as the focus for her third season of a true-crime podcast. It comes down to "the he said, she said" between the golden boy training to be an Olympic swimmer and the girl that had left an impromptu party while intoxicated. In addition to this, Rachel received a letter from Hannah, whose sister had died in 1992 in that town. Hannah knows her sister was murdered after a summer of harassment, but it had been dismissed as a drowning and she had been shuffled into foster care after her mother died. Rachel now is tied to both cases and finds a connection between them that she didn’t expect.

The escape room clues were categorically cryptic but feel far more personal... and potentially deadly.
