Read the novel to know more about this fascinating tale of power, darkness, hope and betrayal. What is the secret of Nel’s death? What mysteries lie in the drowning pool? Is Jules safe? For hundreds of years, it has taken enough lives to be considered unnatural. She knows Nel would have never jumped, she was strong and loved life she would never want it to end this way.īut when it comes to the Pool, one can never know. She is afraid of Beckford, of the Mill House, of the river but most importantly she is afraid of the Drowning Pool. She is doing something which she promised herself to never do – going back to the Drowning Pool and to the evils that lurk in its waters. Unwillingly, Jules is dragged back to the town Beckford and its mysterious waters. Now, Nel is dead and it is said that she committed suicide. Estranged as they were, Jules never bothered to answer her sister’s call. “Into the Water” is the story of a small-town, Beckford, and the mystery which surrounds its waters.Ī few days before she dies, Nel Abbott had been calling her sister Jules urgently. This was not such a good idea because the book is remarkedly different from Hawkins’s first book and that probably is the only reason why I wasn’t much satisfied when I finished reading Into the Water. So, I started reading “Into the Water” keeping in mind my likeness for Hawkins’s previous book. Having read the phenomenally successful book, “The Girl on the Train” by the same author, comparisons between the two books were inevitable.
