GENRE Psychological thriller

REVIEW BY Isabella Biedenharn

@isabella324

READING A TRULY TERRI-

fying novel can make you

feel like you’re drowning: As

much as you may want to surface and

catch your breath, the plot holds you

in its grip. In Chaon’s latest, two sets

of unsolved murders haunt middle-

aged therapist Dustin Tillman. His

parents were killed inspectacularly

gruesome fashion when he was a

kid, and now he’s been sucked into

a series of local drownings by an

unstable patient who’s obsessed with

the case. As Chaon moves nimbly

between viewpoints, calling memo-

ries and relationships into question, a

powerful undercurrent of dread

begins to form beneath the story,

slowly but inexorably pulling you

under.B+
