Night swim follows a true crime postcaster who follows a rape case. While she is in the town, she receives letters which ask her to help with an old case.  I found it a little bit predictable, but else it was fine.

I would recommend listening to this book as that goes really well with the podcast parts.

I really enjoyed this (as much as a person can with content this disturbing), but I'm docking a star because I predicted all the reveals and I think they would have been better as surprises.
