The Night Swim by Megan Goldin
dark
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
4.0
“we have this unfair disparity in rape cases where the victim gets—let's call it what it is—violated. twice. the first time in the attack. the second time in court.”
the night swim is a courtroom thriller and mystery tale about two rapes that occured in the same city roughly 25 years apart. one of them is at trial and the other never even received a police investigation. one victim is alive and other is dead.
this is my very first megan goldin book and it wasn't an easy read because of how heavy, dark, and emotional the topic is. i actually doesn't have any expectation with this one because i didn't even read the synopsis before i picked this out. but it didn't disappoint me.
i guess it's safe to say that i somehow expected who the killer was hence my rating. the night swim is a page turner mystery thriller book and definitely worth the read and your time.
