The Night Swim by Megan Goldin

Synopsis:

After the first season of her true crime podcast became an overnight sensation and set an innocent man free, Rachel Krall is now a household name―and the last hope for thousands of people seeking justice. But she’s used to being recognized for her voice, not her face. Which makes it all the more unsettling when she finds a note on her car windshield, addressed to her, begging for help. The small town of Neapolis is being torn apart by a devastating rape trial. The town’s golden boy, a swimmer destined for Olympic greatness, has been accused of raping a high school student, the beloved granddaughter of the police chief. Under pressure to make Season Three a success, Rachel throws herself into interviewing and investigating―but the mysterious letters keep showing up in unexpected places. Someone is following her, and she won’t stop until Rachel finds out what happened to her sister twenty-five years ago. Officially, Jenny Stills tragically drowned, but the letters insists she was murdered―and when Rachel starts asking questions, nobody seems to want to answer. The past and present start to collide as Rachel uncovers startling connections between the two cases that will change the course of the trial and the lives of everyone involved. Electrifying and propulsive, The Night Swim asks: What is the price of a reputation? Can a small town ever right the wrongs of its past? And what really happened to Jenny?

I really enjoyed this book. One of my favorite reads this year for sure. It made me feel so many things, and I think I am still processing it. I couldn't write a review right after I finished it because I was upset, and shaken up because the outcome is what usually happens in real life. The audiobook is probably the best audiobook I have ever heard. You hear from Hannah, Rachel and Rachel's podcast, which was by far my favorite. I wasn't expecting the twists this book took me on. Rollercoaster of emotions. 8390384319 stars!
